1984 Monte Carlo Ss Very Nice Driver 70619 Miles on 2040-cars
Vanceburg, Kentucky, United States
I bought this car on eBay a few years ago. The first part of the description is what the previous owner wrote
and I have found it accurate. 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. Runs and drives good (currently driven everyday and has current NC tags and inspection). Previous owner has swapped out the 305/3-speed combo for a 350/overdrive automatic (200R). Smoke-free. Also has a new tweed headliner and matching visors (previous owner had started to restore). Front end is lowered with drop spindles, rear springs are cut. Ball joints and bushings where replaced when the work was done. Wheels are stock, but in good shape. Power steering. Front disc brakes. Has optional 3.42 rear gears. Aftermarket gauges for H2O, Oil and volt. Fresh rebuild on the engine (approx 3000 mi). Engine has pop-up Keith Blacks, polished dual plane aluminum intake, and Holley carb. Dual Flowmasters. Battery is new and radiator was replaced when the engine was changed. AC compressor has been removed and I don't know the condition/function of the rest of the system. Cruise control does not work. Electric door locks were still, so I've unhooked the solenoids so they work manually. Note: A few people have questioned the validity of the car being a true SS. It is and the title verifies that. In 1984 the bench seat and column shift was an option for the SS and about 15% of the SS’s sold were like that. What I have done to the car: I have changed the oil and driven it approximately 1000 miles since purchase. I have added chrome valve covers and new chrome air breather. I didn’t like the tires so the front ones are new. All new interior upholstery New carpet New window felts New power window motors New outside door handles New door seals New trunk seal New door hinge kits New paint New Z28 style cowl hood scoop No cruise No air conditioning No power door locks When I got the car it had very little rust. The lip at the bottom of the trunk lid was the worst. That was repaired and water access was stopped. I drive the car to work a couple days a week in the summer on nice days. The paint looks good from a few feet out but is not perfect. It has a few medium sized runs that are noticeable on close inspection. It has never failed to start and run for me. It runs pretty strong for a big car. I believe the mileage to be accurate at 70619 currently. The car has a couple of fluid leaks. They are not bad enough that I have to check the fluids every time I drive it but they will spot the floor when it’s parked. I think one is the power steering unit and the other I’m not sure about. There are a couple of small cracks in the dash and the instrument cluster panel needs some attention. I know there are some things I am forgetting so if you are interested in this car please ask questions or even better, come see it. This is not a show car but it would be the perfect candidate for making one. It is as solid of a 1984 car your likely to find. The photos will show the car on the trailer the day I bought it and a few others of it now. |

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
