Today I am listing my 70 Monte Carlo Sport Coupe. Born in Los Angeles & sold to original owner in Sierra Vista, Arizona.
Car came with protecto-plate & I decoded it as follows: (A) Sport Coupe, 1970, Los Angeles #204762. (B) Carb Sorce- Carter. (C) Engine # 350cu in, 300 HP Tanawanda W/TH350 Auto.
(D) Axle #2.73 built June 18th in Buffalo NY. (E) Build Month-July. (F) Trans # Toledo, August 23, Day Shift ( This made no sense to me)?? Thought it was neat to decode so there you have it.
Story of car, Husband & wife bought new, rarely drove, husband croaks, car to big for wife to drive, parked. Parked under an added on roof (not a garage) for over 20 years! Arizona heat kills interior, cracks paint. Friend of family sells car to guy in Michigan. Guy wants to restore, parks & garage (covered) yeaaaaay, never restores car. Car sits 3 more years, decides to sell car.
I buy car & tear down. I knew car was an Arizona car & we all know that that's a good thing, but I never expected it to be THIS GOOD! After removing the entire interior (minus lower dash assembly) I discovered a brand new car! Not new as in replaced but new as in when originally built new! Not even a trace of surface rust discovered! Any where! As this, too, is what I have discovered throughout the entire car!
Here is what work I, myself, have completed:
New interior from head liner to carpet. All new sound proofing/insulation. Seat upholstery (that was a bi#@h) but turned out beautiful! Upper door panels front & rear (lower sections are still original panels!) Rear deck shelf, sail panels, windlace, dash pad ( dash has new harness, lights & printed circuit installed too). Original front seat belts in place! Did not put shoulder belts back in because I just couldn't poke the holes in the headliner.
New windshield. ( Yep, that was my bad.)
Every piece of weatherstrip from front to back of car. Installed a new, Retro Groove Radio with an AUX cable to plug into personal media. NOS (new old stock ) MOON tach from the late 60's & New vintage gauges, all work great & look really cool! Gauges kind of block the heater but I liked the placement & look & no problem working the heater switches. ( A/C was removed from car - the correct way- & all heater & defrost functions work. Off or high setting only, no resistor for low & medium fan).
On to the engine. Ran great when I drove her home from Michigan, purred like a kitty. All that room under that big a$$ hood I thought...... Lets make her stronger!!!
ProComp aluminum heads : 2.05 intakes & 1.60 exhausts. Yep, 2.05's, not a type O, not 2.02's. Aluminum roller rockers, Lunati VooDoo cam, dbl roller chain, fabricated aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock aluminum Air Gap, Holley 650 spreadbore with electric choke, ProComp distributor & 60K coil & 10mm wires.
Flowtech afterburner ceramic coated headers & 2-1/2 american thunder exhaust into flow master 40 series mufflers. Oh yeah, she sounds wicked. Great thump from cam at idle & screams at 5K RPM!
Performance fuel pump, a vintage AC Delco chrome fuel filter ( gonna miss that) new hoses, lines, & belts through out. Aluminum radiator with 2 electric fans which are all automatic. Trans cooler. All new aluminum pulleys too.
All wire harnesses from firewall to headlights, oh yeah, headlights are new too! So are every bulb on the car!
Master cylinder, power booster, switch, hoses & brakes are new. Next!
Front upper/lower tubed control arms, springs, shocks ( really cool NOS delco oil filled HD shocks ) ball joints, bushings, pitman arm, center link, sway bar links.
Rear lower tubed control arms ( have new rear uppers just not installed - come with car of coarse ) 1" rear sway bar, springs & shocks ( also nos Delcos).
Cooper Cobra Radial tires. 235/70/15.
Everything is done except for her paint. I lost my paint & body guy so that didnt get done. But hey, if it did, car would be ALOT more $$!!!!!
Paint actually looks great..... From 25 feet away. The Arizona heat took its toll on her. Not faded because it wasn't kept in direct sun but cracked & chipped from just sitting there.
All that on her original, rust free, straight & narrow steel!!!
New paint & you will really have pretty much a brand new 1970 Monte.
OK, i've said enough. See the pictures & decide for your self. She runs & drives amazing. You wont be disappointed.
Clear & ready title & 2 sets of keys.
I have a lot more pictures, so please ask any questions you have have or send me your email & I will forward more pics of interests.
By the way, seat belts, jack & spare go with the car. BUT, if you want the rest of those NOS, all original GM parts for this 1970 Monte,( and ALL original parts removed, minus ac parts) your gonna have to use the BUY IT NOW feature because that's the only way they come with this car!
Business end of deal:
NO FUNNY BUSINESS!!!! YOU BID & WIN YOU FESS UP!!!
$500 deposit IMMEDIATELY from winner at auction end.
Contact me & we will figure out payments & pick up. I would like this to be done quickly, I have things I want to do & I am not a storage facility for other peoples cars.
YOU handle shipping if any. I will be more than happy to driver her onto YOUR trailer.
U.S. bidders only. Paypal for deposit & cash @ pick up. No checks what so ever! Unless I keep car until it clears!
Thank you for your time.

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
Scroll down for the official NHTSA statement.

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
