 Hello, and thank you for viewing my auction.. Up for sale I have a 1980 Chevrolet Monte Carlo the dash board reads 935 original miles.. This car is fast really fast and for god reason, this is not your average Monte Carlo. This Monte Carlo has been fullY restored and customized for racing!!


INTRODUCTION:

This car was originally owned by an older gentleman that wanted to build a race car for his son. However his son wanted a fast and furious race car instead of a muscle car. Therefor his son choose a hopped up Honda Accord over this Monte Carlo. The original owner sold this car to my buddy who owns a car repair shop and well he didnt have anytime for it because he ran a business therefor he kept the car covered with a blanket inside his repair shop for the last few year. As a result of him not having any time for it he sold the car to me for cash and exchange for some work he owed me for.. I really like the car but I am not a race car guy or muscle car guy, I'm a rider.. So I figured I would give this car up to someone that could truly get some enjoyment out of it instead of letting it sit in storage in some garage all summer..

DETAILS:

Okay here is what we know about the car, ITS FAST!!!! Okay got that out the way, serious details are as follows: It has a 400 small block Chevy mild cam engine, a 3 speed Street Fighter transmission, a Detroit Locker rear end, and a Victor Jr intake.. The Victor Jr intake has not been moded therefor this car is really strictly intended for racing so be ware this intake yields lots of high end torque. The Detroit Locker gives optimal traction on the streets giving you great amount of torque and as some well know can cost 1000.00 and upwards in price.. The Street fighter was another expensive addition and adds a better feel to the hole racing experience. I will be honest the original owner told me he had a lot of money rapped up into this car and by looking at it I would say he was right however there are many options when it comes to racing and one will have his own thoughts on what it is worth I am sure. However I do know that the car is in excellent shape with the exception that it probably could use some fine tuning. The interior is in excellent condition and the body really looks great and it is very solid no rust!!!

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With 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.

2016 Chevy Camaro leaked on CNBC

Fri, May 15 2015

It seemed inevitable. Eventually some outlet would get access to fully uncovered pictures of the sixth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and let them loose early. Embargoes break. All. The. Time. And for this round, credit goes to CNBC's Squawk Box. The program, according to the GM Inside News forums, had been talking about the new Camaro "all morning," when it dropped a trio of images of the new muscle car. Consider this, then, our first full look at the 2016 Camaro, a car we detailed extensively earlier this morning. In general, the leaked images confirm much of what we discussed in that post regarding the car's looks – an evolved style, with a slim grille up front, a rounded tail, and a very short rear deck. Check out the leaked images, give our Camaro round-up a read, and strap in for tomorrow's big Camaro reveal.

GM to sink over $900M into 4 plants, mostly for a new V8

Fri, Jan 20 2023

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors says it will spend more than $900 million to update four factories, with the bulk going to an engine plant in Flint, Michigan, to build the next-generation V8 for big pickup trucks and SUVs. Factories in Rochester, New York; Defiance, Ohio; and Bay City, Michigan, also will see investments, some to make V8 engine components as well as parts for future electric vehicles, the company said Friday. The investments won't create any new jobs, but they will preserve about 2,400 hourly and salaried positions positions at the four sites, the company said. The investments “provide job security at these plants for years to come,” Gerald Johnson, GM's manufacturing chief, said in a statement. Much of the money, $579 million, will go to Flint Engine Operations for equipment to build the sixth-generation small-block V8 that will go into the next round of big pickup trucks and SUVs. The plant now employs about 700 people who also will keep making their current product, a diesel engine used in light trucks. GM, like other automakers, is facing stricter government fuel economy standards and pollution limits starting in the 2024 model year. New vehicles sold in the U.S. will have to average at least 40 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2026, up from about 28 mpg, under new Biden administration rules that undo a rollback of standards enacted under former President Donald Trump. That means the new V8 will have to get better mileage and pollute less than the current versions. Although GM wouldn't release details on the new engine, Johnson said during a news conference at the Flint plant that it would be more efficient than the current version. GM has a goal of selling only electric passenger vehicles by 2035, but Johnson said that's a dozen years out, a period when many customers will still want gas engines. “We know that has a horizon,” he said. “Between here and there, there are a lot of internal combustion customers that we don't want to lose,” he said. In addition to Flint, GM's engine components plant in Bay City, Michigan, will get $216 million to build camshafts and connecting rods, and to machine engine blocks and heads for the new V8 being built in Flint. The plant now employs about 425. The Defiance, Ohio, foundry will get $55 million to build a variety of block castings for the new V8. Included is $8 million for castings to support future electric vehicles, the company said. The plant has about 530 employees.
