UP FOR SALE IS A UNIQUE 1978 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO COUPE . THIS MONTE CARLO STARTED OUT LIKE MOST BUILDS AND THAT WAS TO SIMPLY CREATE A SIMPLE AND
CLEAN WEEKEND CRUISER UNTIL YOU START GOING TO CAR SHOWS AND READING MAGAZINES AND NOW YOUR INSTANTLY CAUGHT UP IN TURNING YOUR HOBBY INTO MORE OF A COMPETITION. SO I SOUGHT OUT FOR A DECENT CONDITION MONTE AS WERE HERE IN MICHIGAN SO RUST WAS #1 ON MY LIST SO I STUMBLED ACROSS A MONTE IN DECENT CONDITION W/O A DRIVETRAIN LOCATED OUT IN THE COUNTRY AREA. I PURCHASED THIS CAR TWO YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BACK IN 99' AND WAS AMAZED AT THE CONDITION OF THE BODY AS IT HAD NO HEAVY STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SO THIS IS WHERE I MEET SOME GOOD CAR GUYS AND THE JOURNEY BEGINS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE BODY SHOP AND HERE IT WAS PREPPED AND READY FOR PAINT AS I DECIDED TO GO FOR PPG FOR A BETTER QUALITY PAINT (SUNSET RED) ITS CALLED. AS YOU CAN SEE IT DOES FEATURE A 2" COWL HOOD FOR LOOKS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS ALL OF THE MOLDINGS, EMBLEMS, TRIM, WERE REPLACED WITH NOS (IF AVAILABLE) OR GOOD USED PARTS. NEXT THE INTERIOR WAS CREATED WITH A TWO TONE THEME WITH USING SWIVEL BUCKETS SEATS CUSTOM HEADLINER, AND A COLOR MATCH DASHBOARD TO COMPLETE THIS SETUP. THE DRIVETRAIN CONSISTS OF A SMALL BLOCK 35O BORED 30 OVER WITH A GOOD CRANE CAM EVERY THING IS BASICALLY STOCK INTERNALLY. AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS I WANTED DETAIL IN THE COMPARTMENT FOR THE MOST PART CHROME ACCESSORIES WAS USED OR BILLET ON A FEW PARTS AS WELL. THE TRANS IS 350 TURBO WITH A SHIFT KIT AND A 2200 STALL CONVERTER MOTOR AND TRANS RUNS HARD GOOD IDLE, TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTH, GOOD COMPRESSION,( HAVE VIDEO ON REQUEST). NEXT I JUST PURCHASED A NEW SET OF 22"IROC'S WITH 255-30-22 TIRES NO MILES AND THEY WERE CUSTOM MATCH WITH SOME VINYL DECALS FOR LOOKS (PEEL RIGHT OFF IF NOT LIKED). THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND AS U CAN SEE I HAVE A CUSTOM 2.5 EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH 40 SERIES FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS THAT DROPS AT REAREND. STAINLESS STEEL GAS TANK, NEW SHOCKS ALL AROUND, SEALS, WEATHERSTRIPPING, AND ALL BRAKES GAS LINES ARE ALL NEW. THIS VEHICLE IS IN NO WAY PERFECT BUT A HELL OF A GREAT START TO ENJOYING HAVING A OLD CUSTOM WEEKEND CRUISER. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS EXCEPT FOR BEING PULLED OUT LAST YEAR FOR REFRESHING THE ITEMS LISTED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN APART OF ME FOR OVER A DECADE AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ITS HARD TO FIND A CAR DONE AND ITS PERFECT WITHOUT PAYING A FORTUNE FOR IT. SO THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT COSTS TO RESTORE A CAR THESE DAYS. ANY MORE INFO THAT YOU WANT PLEASE E-MAIL ME.

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
