Has 3 inch lowering blocks in rear, cut 2 coils up front. Its not quite as low as it looks in the pictures but it is a huge improvement. Rear Spring mounts appear to have been moved at some point then shoddily welded back on and held in place by u bolts. I have never had any problems with this while I have had it, however. A good welder could take care of this in no time.
Brand new hubcaps all around. Tires are fair. Original Spare in trunk.
Plug in your Ipod for tunes. 75 watt amp and new 6x9 speaker in place of the original. Original radio lights up but does not work.
Front seat is nice, rear seat has a covering over it. I took the ratty headliner out. Dash looks nice. Chrome is not perfect. Carpet appears to be an old replacement.
Floors are ok. The front pans have been redone at some point with some thin gauge metal, the trunk floor is the same way.
Car runs good. it has a slight sputter when idling but runs great down the road. It has a pointless petronix ignition system and runs off of an alternator. It uses a little bit of oil and loses a little water but not to any great extent. I put a quart of oil in every now and then and usually top the water off every couple weeks. The choke does not work, it has an aftermarket accelerator pedal and uses a cable instead of the stock linkage, which blocks the choke.
Theres is a little bit of play in the steering. Everything under there appears to be original so some of it is probably a little sloppy.
Brakes are decent. I went through and honed 2 cylinders and replaced 1. The other one was replaced before I bought the car and doesnt appear to be that old. I accidently bled air back into the lines when I was bleeding them and I just havent wanted to get down and bleed em again. I will fix that this weekend sometime.
Headlights work, dim and bright, tailights and brakelights work. The rear blinkers were working before I disconnected the front to paint the grill. I think they just need to be grounded out. The speedometer makes an awful racket when connected so I disconnected the cable. The dome light works.
Paint is chipping on the hood and around the rear "fins". It looks good from 20 feet away. There is bondo in the trunk and in the rear quarter. There is probably some around the fender wells also, but I do not know the extent. There is rust in the quarter panels. They are ok for a daily driver but in a restoration you would probably want to replace them. There are a few dings on the roof.
Wipers are not hooked up and are missing the arms. I don't know if the "motor" works.
I have probably left something out, please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything more or get more pictures. I'm trying to be as honest as possible. There is a lot that needs work, but it is a fun neat car that I drive to town often and is a good start. Im just looking now for a new project.
EDIT: Needs parking brake cable, and igntion switch does not use key. Ignition switch works fine otherwise.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt
Fri, Oct 31 2014The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
