1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Low Rider Rareopportunity to own a clean example of a piece of Americana. I could not get theblack Monte Carlo in the movie Training Day out of my head when I saw itand promised myself if that if I ever found one similar that I would own it;this is that car. I would consider it the brother of the car in the movie. Itis of the same body period and has the same period low rider cool, but has onemajor difference; high end stainless steel lined air bag suspension. This givesthe car a smooth ride and no jerk movement as it goes from the ground and backdown again. Training Day scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y69JxuGlje4 Some highlights are: · Carpainted less than 4 years ago · Rebuiltmotor · Transmissionfreshened · Stockalternator replaced with 280 AMP unit; draws normal use even with allaccessories · Smalleralternator pulley so no issues even at idle · 3Chrome Viair 480 compressors: 2 chrome 5 gallon tanks · Hard-linedwith stainless 1/2 inch tubing from the compressors to a custom manifold · Nickelplated Asco fast valves · Hiddenpressure switch and check valves · 2Mounted liquid filled gauges- set at 200 PSI · FBSSfour switch 1/2 inch setup · FrontBags: Slam Bags · RearBags: Firestone; which provided an extra 1 inch drop · ACSystem gone through; all duct work replaced. · FourKicker 6x9 speakers in rear deck lid · Two3 1/2" Kicker speakers up front · Kicker4 channel amplifier & Kicker 2 channel amplifier · TwoKicker 10" subwoofers · Wheelsare 14x7 OG's with matching painted nipples and hub · Chips/emblemsare a custom chrome plated 3D Chevy Bowtie design · Tiresare Fisk Classics The motor was completely rebuilt fromtop to bottom and transmission freshened up. Starts on a dime, smooth idle, nomisses and shifts well. Clean under the hood; even the hood courtesy lamp workswhen raised. Replaced stock alternator with a 280 amp unit to handle allelectrical accessories; audio system, Viair compressors, A/C and all standardamp draws from normal use. Alternator also has smaller pulley so there are noissues even when car is idling. Car was professionally bagged and the setupworks very well. This is not a kit that was just slammed in the car. Allcomponents chosen to seamlessly integrate with all the custom fabricatedone-off pieces you see in the photos. It is a FBSS four switch 1/2 inch setup.The 3 toggles between the switches on the plate control the compressorsindividually. You can turn them on and off during a cycle. Air ride system moved fast after everything was together. Sound dampeners were installed on thesystem exhaust to slow it down and so the dumps wouldn't be too loud. It stillmoves fast but just right. It cut the PSSSSSSS noise way down. 3 chrome Viair480's fill 2 chrome Viair 5 gallon tanks in about 1 1/2 minutes. I have hadmany air ride systems and would consider this fast. Hard-lined with stainless1/2 inch tubing from the compressors to a custom manifold. Pressure switch andcheck valves are hidden for a cleaner look. Two liquid-filled gauges aremounted and pressure switch is set at 200 psi. From the tanks to nickel-platedAsco fast valves. Slam bags on the front and Firestone bags in the rear. TheFirestones gave me a 1" extra drop. The compressors are mounted on acustom rack that was painted the same color as the car and 3D'ed with chromeplated accents on the bottom and both sides. There has been upwards of $15,000 worth of parts, labor, accessories, and customizations put into this ride. Mustsee in person to appreciate the time and work.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
