Rear Suspension: GM 8.5" 10-Bolt from 2nd gen Camaro, stock '53 leaf springs, 1" lowering blocks

Body: Clean original body, decklid smoothed, pass door handle shaved, never completed drives side. Hood peak started but not finished. Has some minor rust on rear lower quarters and panel below decklid, as well as front floor pans, but easy fix. No rust anywhere else. Have all trim pieces including extra pieces. Taillights are '54 chrome bezels with aftermarket Lee bubble lenses. Headlights are original bezels and new headlights.

Interior: Original bench seats, recovered in the 90's with blue fabric/velour, looks decent. No carpet, headliner is original and needs to be replaced but have all bows, no door panels, but have door panel trim pieces, arm rests, and backer panels to be recovered or used as pattern. Have misc Bel-Air interior trim pieces to dress up the interior as well. Chrome garnish moldings in driver quality, dash is complete minus radio, have ashtray and glovebox. Complete instrument cluster. Stewart Warner fuel level gauge works. Good clean original glass throughout, only vent windows show age, all glass rubber in decent shape. Door hinge pins rebushed and open & close nicely.

Wheels/Tires: Stock 15"x6" Steel Wheels with chrome "spacer" caps. BF Goodrich 6.70-15 Bias Ply Wide White Wall Tires in great shape. Not many miles, but are showing age from sitting.

Misc: New Brass/Copper Aftermarket Radiator, New Hoses, New Belts, New Fluids, Oil Filter Relocation Kit, Dual Reservior Master Cylinder under floor, lots of extra parts. Have all bumpers, trim, extra front grille, misc trim pieces, all fasteners, all factory removed parts and extras.

Other: The alternator was robbed off this car and used on another vehicle, it was a Delco 10si, I might have another one I will toss in if I can find it. The brake master cyl was removed to fit new hoses and never reinstalled, two bolts and the hoses and it's done. It has speed bleeders on the front brakes for one-man bleeding. The oil filter relocation kit was to clear the stock '89 exhaust manifolds and was never mounted permanent, it could easily be mounted, or removed as the filter clears the manifolds fine. The exhaust was never hooked up to the manifolds. Was planning to build custom headers and a new exhaust system altogether, but didnt get that far. Easy to connect the pipes to the manifolds. The manifolds are original '89 with smog ports that were welded up, I have a set of identical manifolds without the smog ports that look better but are not installed. The firewall was smoothed, air vents left intact and they do work. Headlights, Taillights, Brake Lights, and Ignition all work. Car will need a new battery. I will include all extra parts and pieces I have for this car.

This is an easy project and can be put back on the road with a weekend of tinkering. Finish the body & paint and toss the interior back in and have a fine custom car that can be driven anywhere.

This car was a stalled project. In 2007 it got the engine/trans installed, rebuilt suspension, wiring, etc etc etc, and was running & driving in 2008, but never saw more than a few miles to work out the bugs. It got put on the backburner to work on other projects and has sat undriven since then, but was started every couple of months since. It has always been stored indoors, hasn't spent a night outside since we got it in 2007. This was an Oklahoma car, so the body is in decent condition. The title is a clear Oklahoma Title.

I'm sure I am forgetting things, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask via messaging and I will reply ASAP.

The car is located in North Austin, Texas. Will need to be towed away. No refunds, no returns, sold as-is.

**************************PHOTOS OF EXTERIOR WERE TAKEN WHEN THIS CAR WAS PULLED OUT OF MY SHOP THE DAY I MOVED, IT WAS PUT INTO THE NEW GARAGE ON THE SAME DAY. PLEASE EXCUSE THE DUST. I WILL TAKE NEW PHOTOS IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO AND WILL UPDATE THIS AD WITH THEM ASAP, THANKS.*****************************

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
