1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo on 2040-cars
Hobucken, North Carolina, United States
Rare first year 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo. It has gold paint with a black top. I am the 3rd owner
of the car. It was purchased by a lady that had it for many years before passing away. It was then purchased by a
friend of mine. I watched him use it as a daily driver and I couldn't let him abuse this beauty anymore so I bought
it and put it in the garage. It's got only roughly 77500 original miles. It's a 400 small block engine. I've
replaced all tires, the brakes, head gaskets, battery, wiring, struts, muffler, and starter that can remember (
since I don't drive the car very often the first start takes a minute). It had a transmission flush and some
general work done. I have replaced the speakers and put a CD player with 3.5 jack in the glove compartment. I've
replaced the front right light bezel and the rims. I have had some carbonator work done but it could use more. I
have replaced the dash and head board lamps and bezels along with the visors, knobs, headrests, and re-detailed the
dashboard. I've had the locks redone as well as started fixing the air condition but it still needs a new hose.
There is some minor rust residue in the wheel wells and some minor bubbling in a couple of places under the canvas
top. There are no tears or rips on the top canvas or in the interior. Car runs pretty good but I don't drive her
enough and hence looking for a good home. I keep her on a trickle charger most of the time. Cosmetic things that I replaced I made sure they fit a 1970 Monte Carlo. Interior is black with a wood grain dash. Car is a automatic. There isn't any
major body damage and to my knowledge all original. All in all a great example off this classic.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
