OK so im going to try to sell my 87 monte carlo on here... never sold a car on here so I will list it to the fullest extent, and note I only deal with pay pal. I purchased this car in 09 and built a mild 355 for it and raced it, the car then ran a 13.10 at 106. then I traded it away, and purchased it back last year and re did everything. TOO much invested in the car.
the car is a 87 monte carlo LS sport. the mileage on title is exempt and when I bought it the first time the original owner told me it was about 70k. I can not verify that. the cluster says 60k title is clear not reconstructed. I converted it to the SS nose, and swapped the light harness. all lights work. only piece needed to complete the conversion is the filler plate between nose and the middle of rad support. I was planning to make a custom one but never got around to it.
The body is in good shape,it's currently primered wich some people love others hate, I personally only primered it for time being until I got it painted. the fenders are brand new, all LS moldings and rivets are gone, as well as vinyl top. only filler in the body is in the top of the corner glass at the roof, common prob for these cars. there is a small hole smaller then a dime in each quarter under the marker by the marker lights. I'm not good at body work so I didn't attempt to fix them. Car has the SS spoiler too. every light in and on the car works.
cooling system: stock lt1 rad from 94 Camaro, dual electric fan set up from same car, dual relays , wired to thermo switch to come on at 170 and off at 160.
Engine: 385 LT1 Stroker all machine work done by Andy Jensen of Jensen's Engine technology

Tranny is a th350 rebuilt with 2800-3200 stall Jegs brand, polished aluminum pan, b&m shift kit, hurst pro matic 2 shifter, G force crossmember, new tranny lines and cooler.
Rear is a stock 373 posi monte rear, ss sway bar... NOTE THERE IS NO FRONT SWAY BAR
Exhaust is 2 3" flowmasters mounted right at the headers, just on the other sided of crossmember, no body exit, will need different exhaust set up to be legal. I made this just to get the car mobile until I got a new exh kit, but ended up liking the way it sounds, motor responds extremely well to this too. its loud
wheels are cragar street lites, not aluminum, steel wheels. one rear is slightly rusted but still looks good, 15x8 rear and 15x7 front, brand new 275/60/15s on the back.
jegs electric fuel pump, pre and post filters, new aluminum 3/8th fuel line from tank up. new jegs fuel pressure gauge on carb
Interior was dark red, I changed everything over to gray, car still needs a headliner and the carpet isn't that great. should have a new carpet and headliner
OVERALL the car is great if you like G body's like I do. looks tough and runs awesome and sounds even better, with little body work, paint, and a headliner the car can be show worthy. its not easy to find these any more due to people wrecking them on the tracks. car has not been raced since the new drive train installed, but is well capable of a low 12 to high 11. pulls very hard and is reliable, runs at 160 all day and about 50 lb oil pressure warm.
also battery is mounted in trunk, new box and cable kit, 2 gauge power wire, works fine and charges at 14.5 volts
any questions, just message me I can answer anything related to this car.
ONLY reason im selling this car is I'm having a kid and don't need a project right now and can use the money towards a new car.
SORRY forgot to list the gas gauge does not work, it did about a month ago, it just stopped. sorry

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
Fingers point to dragged-out NHTSA investigation after second death by ARC airbag inflator
Thu, Oct 14 2021Safety advocates have increased criticism of the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after an exploding airbag inflator that's been under investigation for more than six years killed a second person. On Wednesday, NHTSA posted recall documents filed by General Motors that revealed the second death, the driver of a 2015 Chevrolet Traverse SUV with an inflator made by Tennessee company ARC blew apart, spewing shrapnel. No details were given about where and when the death occurred. NHTSA has said that ARC Automotive of Knoxville has manufactured about 8 million inflators used nationwide in vehicles made by General Motors, Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis), Kia and Hyundai. “NHTSA should have been all over this along time ago,” said Rosemary Shahan, president of California-based Consumers for Auto Reliability and Safety. “There's just no denying that itÂ’s a (safety) defect.” NHTSA, the agency charged with with keeping America's automobiles and roads safe, began investigating ARC inflators in July of 2015 after two people were injured by flying shrapnel. The investigation became more urgent in 2016, when a Canadian woman driving an older Hyundai Elantra was killed by metal airbag fragments. Public records show only a little progress on the probe. In April, the agency posted a memo in saying it was reviewing volumes of information it received from ARC. Safety advocates such as Shahan say that the dragged-out investigation is an example of the deadly consequences that can result from an understaffed and underfunded agency. The second death should not have happened, Shahan said, and vehicles with faulty ARC inflators should have been recalled faster. The agency, Shahan said, is “grossly underfunded," but it still should have sought recalls of the ARC inflators. She said historically NHTSA has taken little action during Republican administrations but has ramped up safety efforts when Democrats control the White House. Messages were left Wednesday by the Associated Press seeking comment from NHTSA and ARC. At this time, relatively few vehicles are effected. The GM recall covers only 550 Chevy Traverse SUVs from the 2013 through 2017 model years, as well as Buick Enclave SUVs from 2008 through 2017. The automaker said in a statement that the faulty front driver's airbag inflators were either installed at the factory or in replacement airbag modules.
