Very good condition 1977 Monte Carlo. Can be a fun and reliable daily driver as is, or an easy restoration candidate for the perfectionist.

Paint's in decent shape, a couple dings here and there with some touch-ups. The only rust is in the doorjambs toward the rear wheels, as well as on the passenger side, behind the rear wheel. Trunk and floors are 100% solid. Looks to have been repainted at some point (I estimate about 10-15 yrs ago). Was garaged for at least the last 10 years, although since I bought it in December, it's been under a carport. Full vinyl top in pristine condition. No holes or cracks in the material whatsoever. Doors close well, no sagging, although the interior panels are getting a little loose and rattle over bumps. Not a major issue though. They do have some discoloration, however, but no cracks, etc.

Interior is in good condition. Dashboard recovered. Cloth seats are clean with no stains, holes or tears. Carpet, headliner are good. All idiot lights and buzzers, gauges, etc. work as they should, except the rear-window defogger, clock and windshield washer. ICE-COLD AC. Even the cruise control works. Car passed VA state inspection last Sept. Owner's manual included. Aftermarket CD player in good working order. Manual locks and windows.

Engine purrs, runs cool, even in the hot summer with the AC blasting. Transmission shifts smoothly, nice and tight. This car comes with the 350 cubic inch, 4 barrel option, so it will get up and move. Power front disc brakes and power steering make driving this beauty a dream.

There is a Draw-Tite tow hitch that I was going to remove, but I'll leave that up to the next owner. Tires are getting old but hold air fine. Just a little thin in the treads.

Trunk is clean with all the carpeting and trim pieces. Taillights are wired for a trailer. Spare tire, jack, etc. all included.

This car is in excellent mechanical condition as far as I can tell and is ready to be driven home. I can also help arrange for shipping for the long hauls. Please reach out with any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
