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.

General Motors has heralded its Ultium battery-electric platform as the future of its passenger car and truck lineup, but for the first two years of its existence, its impact on the marketplace has been virtually nonexistent. Well, that finally changed in the third quarter of 2023, and while the cars based on this architecture don't represent anywhere near the volume of GM's broader combustion portfolio, we're reaching a point where Ultium products are finally in view (and in the hands) of real-world shoppers. At this point, five U.S.-market Ultium models are in production: the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer & Silverado EV, and BrightDrop Zevo 600. If you're not familiar with that last one, that's OK; it's a commercial product that you likely won't see on the road for some time. Together, these four combined for 4,257 sales in the third quarter alone — up from 2,663 for the entire first half of the year. While that may not seem like a significant uptick when viewed from altitude, the quarter-to-quarter numbers paint a clearer picture. Let's toss out the stragglers first. The Chevy Blazer EV, and Silverado EV for example, are barely in production. GM delivered 19 Blazers and 18 Silverados in the third quarter and that's the entirety of their production runs so far. Likewise, GM's BrightDrop Zevo 600 delivery van effectively exists apart from the consumer marketplace, so its contribution of just 35 units can be set aside too. That leaves us the two you've heard of: the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq — models with high sticker prices and long reservation queues. Through the second quarter (remember, we're talking six months here), GMC sold 49 Hummer EVs. No typo. In the three months that made up the third quarter, GM moved 1,167 of them. Not only is that a dramatic improvement over the first half, but it's more Hummers than GMC sold in the entirety of 2022 (854). Lyriq's improvement was less eye-popping on paper, but after moving just 122 total units in 2022 and 2,013 of them in the first half of 2023, Cadillac managed to up that figure to 3,018 units in the third quarter alone. GM is betting its short-term EV future on the Ultium platform, so these trends need to continue if that's going to be a profitable wager.
Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.
