1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo on 2040-cars
Hobucken, North Carolina, United States
Rare first year 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo. It has gold paint with a black top. I am the 3rd owner
of the car. It was purchased by a lady that had it for many years before passing away. It was then purchased by a
friend of mine. I watched him use it as a daily driver and I couldn't let him abuse this beauty anymore so I bought
it and put it in the garage. It's got only roughly 77500 original miles. It's a 400 small block engine. I've
replaced all tires, the brakes, head gaskets, battery, wiring, struts, muffler, and starter that can remember (
since I don't drive the car very often the first start takes a minute). It had a transmission flush and some
general work done. I have replaced the speakers and put a CD player with 3.5 jack in the glove compartment. I've
replaced the front right light bezel and the rims. I have had some carbonator work done but it could use more. I
have replaced the dash and head board lamps and bezels along with the visors, knobs, headrests, and re-detailed the
dashboard. I've had the locks redone as well as started fixing the air condition but it still needs a new hose.
There is some minor rust residue in the wheel wells and some minor bubbling in a couple of places under the canvas
top. There are no tears or rips on the top canvas or in the interior. Car runs pretty good but I don't drive her
enough and hence looking for a good home. I keep her on a trickle charger most of the time. Cosmetic things that I replaced I made sure they fit a 1970 Monte Carlo. Interior is black with a wood grain dash. Car is a automatic. There isn't any
major body damage and to my knowledge all original. All in all a great example off this classic.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
