1988 Monte Carlo LS
I have owned this car since 1998. It has never been driven in winter weather, always stored. It is 99% rust free. There were a couple of rust spots the size of a quarter or smaller that were cut out and replaced with new metal.It was painted 10 years ago and is not look the best anymore. Looks good from 20 feet. The stainless LS trim was taken off and the mounting studs cut off. The trim stud area was given no more work and is in primer. There was also a defect on the roof that was sanded out and also is in primer. The front window trim was painted black and is pealing in spots. I still have all of the stainless ls trim it is all in good shape except 1 piece and is painted black. The hood is fiberglass has original hinges with no springs and pins in front. The front and rear bumper look good and have no tears. There are no large dents on the car. The paint may be scratched chips here and their.
The interior is not completely in the car. I am missing the headliner panel but have all other pieces to go with. The front seats are gray buckets that are in good shape. The frond driver is torn but it is not into the foam pad. I was going to get new covers to match the blue interior. The back seat is also in good condition with no tears. The carpet is worn out. The dash pad is in excelent condition with no holes or cracks and has never had anything screwed to it (like how many screw extra gauges to them). Door panels are redone and look good. Factory tachometer, 85 mph speedo (works but unaccurate wrong gear in trans sender), volts ,fuel ,water , all work except oil (needs sending unit put back in). I have added a three pack oil water temp where the radio was. I also have a trans temp gauge. The center council is customized with a b&m shifter and switches for ign, water pump, fuel pump, electric fans, electric water pump, and air ride pump housed under the center council door. The air ride switches and gauges are also in the center council. Power windows. The car was professional rewired and the fuse block is behind the glove box. The glove box is a door only for better access.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
