Numbers matching!
Only 92,000 miles! No rust! Clean MA title! Factory AC Car! Very Original I've owned this beauty myself since 1998. She is a 350 cid bench seat automatic car with a GM 12 bolt rear. She recently underwent a meticulous restoration of the body. The entire nose was removed and everything from the fire wall forward was cleaned, painted, and detailed. All rust was cut out and replaced with brand new steel. The panels were then stripped to bare metal and straightened with hammer and dolly. All gaps were reset to closer than factory to get a tight look. The body was then sealed in epoxy and 3 coats of build primer were laid down with full board sanding in between. She was then sprayed in 1971 GM Lime Green followed by 3 coats of high gloss clear. All lines on this car are laser straight. A new vinyl top was installed and all bright work was straightened and buffed to a high luster. The car does have one pea-sized rust bubble at the bottom of the door that just popped up this winter. I will include about a pint of paint left from the paint job for your tech to use to touch this small spot up. The trunk is solid and has never seen any rust. Trunk light even works! The Original 350 small block engine has been warmed with a mild cam, aluminum intake manifold, Dynomax headers, and runs very well. The original intake and air cleaner lid come with the car. A Turbo Hydormatic 350 transmission handles the torque from the Chevy power plant and sends it to the 2:73 geared 12 bolt rear end. All U-joints have been replaced and rear has been inspected and serviced. All wheel bearings have been serviced or replaced. This car is a great cruiser, decent on gas, and a highway screamer. All drive train components are unmolested and matched to the car. 95% of the brake system has been rebuilt. New lines, new master cylinder, and rebuilt calipers and rear drums. Brake pads are fresh all around. This Monte still retains all of her original options including the AM/FM 8 track player, rear window defogger, rear view mirror map light, tilt steering, factory tinted glass, air conditioning and full size rally rim spare and jack set. Currently the 8 track player, map light, and rear defrost are not functioning but all of the parts are there for a rebuild if desired. The AC is unchanged from original and will need at the least a professional inspection and charge to function properly. The build sheet indicates that this car was built in December 1971 in Baltimore MD as a 4 barrel dual exhaust rally rim car. It does not look like she has ever been in an accident and has not been driven in weather in at least 20 years. Most parts are original to the car. The frame and under carriage of the vehicle are both solid and in good shape with minimal surface rust. The original undercoating is flaking off in spots. All suspension and steering equipment are in good driving shape. Rear shocks and springs are brand new. Electrical is in good original shape. All body lights function as they should. There are a few blown bulbs in the dash cluster, but all other interior lights work. Alternator was replaced two years ago. The only drivability issue would be that the gear shift indicator on the steering column is not working so you need to count as you pull the shift lever to tell where D and R are. From what I have read this is fixable but I do not have the desire to pull apart the steering column to get to the broken piece. While the body, drive train, and under carriage are all in great shape, this Monte could certainly benefit from an interior kit. The headliner is newer but the seats and carpet are showing their age. The dash is perfect and door cards are very good. All factory tinted glass is in very good shape. The BF Goodrich Radial TA ties still have plenty of tread life left and show no visible signs of dry rot. However the tires are slightly flat spotted from years of winter storage resulting in a slightly shaky ride at highway speeds. This tends to disappear for the most part when driving the car regularly, I just have not had the time this year to work out the spots. Tires are a personal preference so I will leave it to the new owner to decide what to put on rather than replace them myself. I have one of the original build sheets from the factory in rough but readable condition. I believe there to be another above the gas tank though I have not dropped the tank to check. I also have a documented history of the vehicle back to the mid-70s. This includes all work and replacement parts bought in that time and all bills of sale back to the original owner. I pride myself on maintaining a %100 percent seller rating, so I will do my best to work with you on this vehicle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Viewing If you are local and would like to view and test drive the vehicle that is fine. Please message me and we can find a time that works for both of us.

Texas cops pull armed suspect from burning car
Fri, Jul 29 2016A high-speed chase through Fort Worth, Texas ended in dramatic fashion earlier this month when FWPD pulled armed burglary suspects from the burning wreckage of their escape vehicle. According to NBC DFW, Fort Worth police were dispatched to Avington Way on the evening of July 16 to investigate reports of a burglary. The burglary victim told police he had arrived home to find three individuals hauling his property out of his house. When he approached them, one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him and told him to stay back. Then all three suspects climbed into a silver Dodge Avenger and sped away. FWPD officers spotted the Avenger a short time later on Sycamore School Road and, after the car refused to pull over, the chase was on. Police chased the burglary suspects through the city at speeds approaching 100 mph until the Avenger blew a red light and was t-boned by an oncoming pickup at the intersection of California Parkway and James Avenue. As the pursuing officers closed in on the disabled car, it suddenly caught fire. One suspect bailed out and ran for it, but the remaining two were trapped inside with the flames quickly mounting. Despite the spreading fire and the threat of armed suspects in the vehicle, police officers rushed to pull the men from the wreck. The driver was removed easily, but the passenger was unconscious and trapped behind a crushed passenger door. The scene was caught on the officers' body cameras as they pried the door open with their bare hands. Eventually the officers got the semi-conscious man out of the passenger seat just as the car was completely engulfed in flames. "It was pretty dramatic. We recruit people that can think on the fly, think quickly, and perform under pressure," FWPD Sergeant Marc Povero told WFAA. All three suspects are facing charges for burglary, and the driver was charged with evading arrest.

Brief website update hints 2016 Chevy Volt will get 43 mpg, 106 MPGe
Sun, Jun 14 2015Customers in California can already order the 2016 Chevrolet Volt and be the first to own the new, range-extended EV in August. It appears there's now a possibility that buyers of the updated model might get slightly better economy than Chevy's initial announcement from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January, too. According to the eagle-eyed folks at GM-Volt.com, Chevy has been subtly tweaking the spec page for the 2016 Volt. It briefly showed the model getting 43 miles per gallon combined fuel economy and 106 mpge, rather than the originally released figures of 41 mpg and 102 mpge. Shortly afterward, the internal-combustion mileage returned to 41 mpg, but 106 mpge remained. A GM spokesperson told Hybrid Cars the changes happened by mistake. "We have not finalized numbers yet. We expect to announce in July." The economy isn't the only statistic to see an adjustment, though. The total range was reportedly briefly shown as 420 miles, and then returned to a 430-mile rating, according to Hybrid Cars. The Volt's output has also been slightly tweaked from the original figures. It's now displayed as 150 horsepower and 293 pound-feet of torque, versus the preliminary numbers of 149 hp and 294 lb-ft. These tiny changes likely have a negligible impact on real-world driving, but they suggest that Chevy's team is still working to squeeze as much as possible from the latest Volt's powertrain. If the final figures are coming in July, then the engineers still have just a few weeks to improve the ratings even more.
LG Chem ready to double workforce at plant that makes Volt batteries
Fri, May 15 2015With a history that involves paying people not to work, the fact that LG Chem is going to hire more people for its electric-vehicle battery plant in Holland, Michigan is good news on a couple fronts for the Korean company. The South Korea-based LG Chem is holding a job fair at the factory about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids. The company wants to double its workforce this year to "several hundred people." LG Chem, whose factory notably makes the cells for General Motors' Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle battery, is looking for everything from technical operators to maintenance workers to production supervisors. The company held a previous job fair last September that resulted in about 40 people being hired. The prior year, though, LG Chem gained a measure of infamy after the US Department of Energy (DOE) discovered that workers were, for a time, getting paid to do absolutely nothing because low demand for battery packs made it cheaper for the factory to remain idle. With LG Chem also making electric-vehicle battery components for Ford, Renault, Hyundai, and Volvo, though, those lazy days appear to be long gone. Take a look at LG Chem's press release below. Show full PR text LG Chem Michigan Inc. 2nd Job Fair Will Help To Double Its Holland Workforce HOLLAND, Mich., May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Chem Michigan Inc. (LGCMI) is conducting a 2nd job fair on Thursday, May 14 as part of the company's efforts to double the size of its production workforce in 2015. LGCMI is an air-conditioned, clean room production environment with strong opportunity for career growth. Over 250 people attended the first job fair and the company is looking for more people to help it grow with increased production volume and new models. The company is adding production equipment and new processes and expects to employ several hundred people by the end of the year. Globally, LG Chem has numerous automakers as clients for EV batteries including GM, Ford, Renault, Hyundai/Kia, Volvo, Audi and Daimler etc. The company's push to build its workforce continues on Thursday, May 14 with an all-day job fair at the company's facilities, located at 1 LG Way in Holland. The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. and is open to everyone seeking employment opportunities with the company. Prospective candidates should plan to meet with members of LGCMI's staff to learn more about opportunities available at this market-leading, advanced-technology manufacturing company.
