Up for auction is a nice, original 1973 Chevy Monte Carlo, 2 door coupe, with the landau vinyl top. The car is a nice, original, California driver car. It is not a show car, but a very clean, original car. The body is very straight, and only has 2 tiny spots of rust on the entire car (shown in pictures) The Monte has a replacement GM 350 crate motor, with a Edelbrock built Quadrajet carb, Pro comp distributor, ignition box, and coil. It has single chamber flowmasters, and new dual exhaust. The interior is all original black, with a bench seat and a rally dash (tach and gauges) it has a tilt wheel, and the factory 8 track radio! It is and original air conditioning car, but the compressor seized up, so it was removed. The heater core has been bypassed because the core was leaking.

 Everything except the heater/ac works on the car: wipers, all lights, all gauges, etc etc. The car has black Chevy ralley wheels 15x7 in front and 15x8 in the rear, with brand new raised white letter tires. The car has the factory front disc brakes, and drum rears. It is a blue plate car, and also comes with the original GM keys. It has the original white paint, that is in pretty good condition for its age. It has a couple of spots that have been touched up with spray paint. All of the factory moldings have been removed, but the original mounting pegs are all there. The trunk has been recoated with zolotone, and does not have any rust.

 The car runs and drives great, no issues at all, the exhaust has a nice muscle car tone, the trans goes right in gear, the brakes work great.

 If you are looking for a pre smog muscle car, without the big pricetag of a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, etc, this might be a great option. This is a real nice, driver quality car, that could be brought to the next level, if someone wanted to.

 

 Thanks for looking, and please check my feedback. If there is any questions, please email me. Mike

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
