Up for auction is a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo LS. Its appears to be the frame, but not sure as I no mechanic, is what has snapped. I took two pictures of it. It is on the drivers side of car near the rear tire. It also has a few dents on the front drivers side as well, the the rear bumper sags a bit on the drivers side. I took pictures of them all. Other than those flaws, the car is operational and in working order other than the frame issue. As it is right now, it is not in a drive away ready condition. It will need to be towed or hauled out, as the rear driver tire will scrape against the fender of the car if you happen to hit a bump, turn and such.
It currently gets roughly 400 per tank of fuel on a 14 gallon tank. Only running issues is that the transmission will not shift into overdrive, and hasn't for the last two years, at full speed will run in the drive gear. You can use the overdrive gear on the transmission, but the car will not shift into it. Also on hot summer days the engine will warm a bit if going slow/ stop and go traffic conditions. Rest of time when cruising at normal speeds and such, engine temp will run around 170. There is a very small oil leak, we don't know where. We gave it oil changes about every 4000 miles give or take a couple hundred, and would loose approx. 2 quarts of oil. We never had to add oil to the car in between oil changes. Has a nice CD box/radio in the car
We have since purchased a new car and just want to find someone who is looking for a fixer up car, a car to part out, or to do whatever you wish to do with it.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
