Up for auction, is a 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. I purchased this car three and a half years ago from Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord North Carolina. I purchased this car because as a 17 year old I bought an '87 Monte Carlo SS, and was attempting to re-live the past. Since I have owned it, I have put 500 miles on the car, hence the auction. This car has 15,000 original miles and appears to be 100% original down to the spark plugs. It runs and drives excellent and all options are in perfect working order, including the ice cold air conditioning. The only additions to the car were on it when I purchased it, which include an alarm system with remote keyless entry and Flowmaster mufflers. The tone is a few decibels above stock, not very loud at all. It has never seen winter, snow, salt, much less rain. I have not washed the car with water since owning it. There is NO rust on this car. Paint condition is 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because it could use polishing. Interior condition 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because there is a foot mark on the driver side carpet beside the gas pedal. Engine compartment is 10 out of 10 completely original. Undercarriage is 9 out of 10, as it has 15,000 miles on it. This car will not disappoint, as it is essentially a brand new car. IT NEEDS NOTHING. This car was purchased brand new at Dale Earnhardt Chev Olds and was in Alabama, Florida, Virginia and ended up in North Carolina where I bought it. This is 1 of 6052 produced in 1987 for Nascar rules, they did not produce this car in 1988 which was the final year for the G body. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. I will send specific pictures if required, by email or text. The car is appraised currently at $23,000 Cdn. It is insured for that amount at $240/year through Hagerty Insurance. You are welcome to come and inspect the car personally or call anytime. Mike 905 690 4820. I am always available, so shipping, pick up, trailering, transport will not be an issue. Buyer is responsible for ALL shipping.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
