To start I bought this car off a neighbor friend who passed away recently wife.He bought the car in january of 2007.He started this restoration and this is as far as he got.The 327 has been rebuilt, I don't think it is the original motor but has correct casting # 3858174 for that year which is a 350 horsepower,if my research is correct.The transmission is a rebuilt turbo 350 which the car came with a power glide originally.The brakes have a power booster which I don't think is correct for the car and I have all the pads, springs,wheel cylinders and brake lines which are new.The frame seems in good shape with no rust issues or no collision damage.The body has been media blasted (cost of $1400.00) and needs some work on left front by headlamp I also have a new fiberglass replacement part for that area.The front shroud center will need some light repair as well as the right fender due to a preveous repair. The right and left rear wheel house have had repairs due to too wide of rear tires.The floor has two fiberglass patches about a 5x5 inch square that I have no clue as why they are there.The interior is complete as far as I can tell.The seats (frames,springs,foam and covers) have been completlly restored by Al Knoch Interiors at a cost of $3500.00. New arm rest as well.New convertible top as well. The convertible top frame is there.The hardtop is trashed due to a mishap of falling off car during transporting.The rally wheels are there with trim rings and center caps.Brand new tires with 235/60R15 on rear and 215/65R15 on fronts .There are many small parts that he was collecting for his restoration that I tried to include in pictures such as chrome exhust tips, overflow tank headlamp parts ,cowl vents and more smaller parts are all new.Please call with any questions.Shipping cost is on the buyer,but will help end. 850-554-2252 Thanks Mike.

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.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
