important........this vehicle does not belong to me, iam listing it for a friend who does not like to mess with computers. any questions about the cars condition or price must be directed to him by calling him at 267-347-9683. any questions emailed to me will go unanswered as iam leaving for vacation and will be away from my computer for the week. this auction is for an unmolested, original paint, survivor 1972 monte carlo. my buddy bought this car @ 10 years ago. he is owner number 3, the 2 previous owners were in the same family. my friend had been searching for one of these first generation monte carlos for a restoration project and purchased this car because of its originality, one family ownership and 66,289 documented miles. he had planned to fully restore this car but after addressing a few minor problems it was set aside until other projects were completed. then as so often happens time to work on this car never happened and now with other projects taking his time, he would like to find a new home for this monte carlo. the original 350 2bbl runs like a clock, uses no oil, no valve tick, simply purrs like a kitten. as the pics show other then maitainence items like hoses, filters and the battery the engine compartment is all original. my friend did swap in an HEI distributor, but that's a no brainer update which helps the car, run and start much better. the original distributor comes with the car. the factory air conditioning is complete but needs charged. the turbo 350 3 speed automatic trans preforms great and is shifted thru the console mounted shifter. the car is factory equipped with power steering and power brakes with front discs. the frontend has been rebuilt and a new master cylinder, front calipers and linings have been installed. the rear axle is original and the car rides on 15x7 rally wheels with BFG radials. the car drives great. the body is very solid with minor rust issues on the bottom insides of both front fenders and rear quarters however I feel it can all be corrected without panel replacement. the trunk seal leaks, the rust in the trunk area seen in the pics is only surface rust........no rust thru. the doors open and close solidly and all the glass is good but the windshield needs resealed. the original paint color is called midnight bronze. all the paint is original except for the passenger side fender which was repainted long ago after a minor parking lot snafu. the car will need stripped and repainted as the paint is severely checked. the bumpers and all trim are in good shape. the vinyl roof will need replaced as it appears at one point someone tried to paint it another color. the interior is very nice. the dashpad and instrument panel are perfect and the seats, door panels and center console are nice also. the carpet will need to be replaced as will the headliner thanks to a mouse. options are rear defogger and factory am/fm radio, although the radio does not work, the dash clock also is not working. my friend holds a clear title for this car plus much of the original paperwork as shown in the photos. a 500.00 deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end, the balance to be paid before the car is taken. for local pickup the car is located about an hour north of Philadelphia and within easy access of the Pennsylvania turnpike. if the car is to be picked up by a transport company my friend has agreed to help out as needed. |

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

MotorWeek Retro Review revisits 1984 Corvette
Thu, Oct 1 2015MotorWeek's Retro Reviews are always a great glimpse into the cars of yesteryear. However, the newly uploaded look back at the 1984 Chevrolet Corvette is an absolute treasure trove for any auto history buff. This is a full episode of the show from the '80s, and it's dedicated to all of the details about the newest 'Vette to hit the market at the time. Beyond just the usual drive and an in-depth walk around, one of the major highlights here is a brief look at some on the concepts that eventually resulted in the fourth-generation Corvette of 1984. The C4's shape harkens back to sketches from 1978, and there even shots of early clay models that led the way for the design. MotorWeek also takes a tour through the Bowling Green, KY, factory for a detailed inspection of the entire production process. John Davis repeatedly calls the Corvette "the plastic fantastic" during the episode, and he can't find too much negative to say about being behind the wheel of the then-new coupe. See how it stands up to your own memories in the clip above.
