Hello everyone, this is painful for me but here goes.


NO RESERVE, STARTING PRICE IS THE RESERVE.....IF ONLY ONE PERSON BIDS, ITS GONE.

This is a 1972 Chevrolet MonteCarlo which I named Delilah .  The paint is blue on the sides and black over the top to include the hood, roof and trunk.  There are some rust spots on the body to include the driver door bottom area, the left quarter panel by the door, the right rear quarter panel under bondo, the lower left and right areas of the rear window, the rain gutter for the trunk, the trunk pan which needs replaced (could not upload picture for trunk pan but expect center piece needing replaced).

The interior is good, but is starting to spread on stitching on certain areas(not noticeable).  The carpet is great,  The dash (Green color) is unsecured, light switch works but unsecured due to broken plastic.  Ceiling is good no rips or tears.

The ignition is still original with an added push button start,  electric kill switch  for car,  Electric fuel pump with switch.  Rear have air shocks that hold air, dual exhaust with nice sound not loud.

The car was in my garage and only driven about 1 time every three months around the block.  It needs an oil change and better gas.  Currently parked outside.

The motor is a newer model (possibly early 90's) Chevrolet 350 which runs very good (milage unknown).  The transmission is a 400 which leaks oil when I leave it parked, but runs strong  The carb is a 750 double pumper holley.  New radiator with one electric fan.  The car runs so cool half the time I doesn't even need the fan.  
The car could use tires, ball joints.  The brakes work but need bleeding or master cylinder???  The front wheel wells are plastic but has the right one partly broken.  The A/C is not hooked up but it does have the newer style compressor sitting on the motor.  

There are things that are not easily described that can only be seen in person.  I hope that I mentioned key topics that would otherwise surprise you if not mentioned.  The rest should be only positive aspects of my car which can be viewed in the pictures.  Just remember this car is an old muscle car looking for a new home that needs someone with the time and money it deserves.

I wouldn't take this car on a road trip, mainly because of tires and ball joints.  Could it make a trip the way it is??? who knows, I've done worst with no problems.  The last time this car was on the road for sure as a daily driver was in 2008.

If you have any questions, just email me or call/text 956 537 9781 and ask for Rafael.

Payment is accepted in cash only. A deposit of a non refundable 200.00 should be transferred via Paypal as soon as the auction is over.  I could deliver within Texas for a fee mainly to cover gas expenses.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
