This is a very complete car, most of hard work done, needs finished. Frame off cleaned deburred and painted Chevy chassis black, 73 Camaro front end complete and done with disc brakes, ford 9inch posi rear with highway gear (3:26 ratio if my memory is correct) super nice 4 link set up with coil overs, engine is a very mildly built 454 with 700r4 trans, I was building this car to run across the desert in the heat, my plan was to use it back and forth to car events in AZ, CA and LV. Aluminun radiator with electric fans, in this heat is a must. We spent loads of time and money to stance the car correctly, set up the steering (which is perfect)-brakes are awesome, motor is super nice and reliable. This car was being built to cruise and be reliable, not at all a drag racer but it could be if you want to go that route. It does run, start, drive and stop but has not been wired correctly yet. I am selling as a car that needs to be finished, not a car that I am finishing for you. In place is a new harness and it is ready to be finished. (have it wired to a toggle and push button to start it when we move it around) New gas tank is also installed. Paint and body work is super nice, we did not do any body work on the car, it was in primmer when I bought it back in 2007. Paint is a really nice flat light gray with gloss finish, it looks sharp and with complete trim it should really stand out as a sleeper/cruiser car. The front seat was mussing when we bought it, it cost me $900 for an original one  in horrible condition but I bought it anyway! door panels, rear seats etc should be recovered now, have headliner, have brand new windshield in the box, all other glass og to car and in good shape, taillights and headlights plus loads of parts that are original to the car, no radio as it was already missing. Im sure to be missing a bunch of things, feel free to email questions and I will get back to you asap. Depending on the level of finish you desire this car could be on the road even in a weekend. Forgot to take pictures of the bumpers, have them both. Thank you

 

As you already know because you are looking at this car, it takes a lot of money and time to get a car this far along. Tri 5 Chevys are one of a kind, better than any Ford, Mopar, Dodge., Chevy. When restored as a hotrod, resto-mod, custom or original car these cars bring the kind of money that I can not afford to pay. I started with this one years ago slightly over my level of budget and have slowly brought it along as a car that would be super reliable, fun, dependable and affordable. We are not asking for a stupid price based on "what it could be worth" . We want someone to have it that will take it to the next level and enjoy it.

GM's labor deal with UAW union on verge of ratification

Thu, Nov 16 2023

Nov 15 (Reuters) - General Motors' tentative labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union closed in on ratification as the votes were counted on Wednesday. Following the approval earlier in the day by more than 60% of union members at the Detroit automaker's large Arlington, Texas, assembly plant, additional votes in favor have the deal close to clinching majority approval. The number of union locals, most of which are smaller, still to report vote totals is not large. After several large assembly plants voted against the deal earlier on Wednesday, some media had reported the deal was heading toward failure. But Arlington's support, followed by strong voting in favor by smaller warehouse and parts facilities, has put the deal on the brink of approval. This would mark the first ratification of a deal, which runs through April 2028, with one of the Detroit Three automakers. Ford and Stellantis voting is still under way, and workers at both companies were favoring ratification by comfortable margins. The UAW's GM vote tracking site currently shows approval of the contract leading by a 54% to 46% margin with almost 32,000 workers having cast votes out of about 46,000 UAW-represented GM workers. The Arlington plant, with about 5,000 UAW members, has the most of any GM plant. Voting officially ends on Thursday at 4 p.m. EST, although most votes will be cast on Wednesday. The UAW went on strike for more than six weeks against the Detroit Three, seeking better wages, working conditions and cost-of-living adjustments. All three companies agreed to tentative agreements about two weeks ago. Workers at other GM assembly plants voted against the deal, including 60% of workers at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, truck plant, 53% at its Wentzville, Missouri, plant, 58% of workers at GM's Lansing Grand River plant and 61% of workers at the Lansing Delta Township plant. Seven of GM's 11 assembly plants rejected the deal. In addition to Arlington, workers at plants in Detroit, Fairfax, Kansas; and Lake Orion, Michigan; approved the agreement. Only nine facilities are still listed without vote totals on the UAW vote tracker, including GM's Lockport, New York, components plant with about 1,200 members. Those voting in favor of the agreement have a lead of almost 2,500 and many of the facilities still to come include workers who stand to receive large pay increases upon ratification.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Retro Wrong: MotorWeek shares first unaired pilot episode

Fri, Apr 17 2015

MotorWeek is an automotive institution in the United States. We all have to get our start somewhere though, and for the latest entry in the Retro Review series, the show is releasing its unaired pilot for the first time. Even today, the program isn't necessarily the most exciting thing on TV, but the modern incarnation looks like Top Gear compared to this original, very monotone attempt. The cars on display are more interesting from a historical aspect than actually being behind the wheel. MotorWeek puts the Chevrolet Citation and Ford Fairmont head to head. If you want to see progress in the auto industry, look here. The Fairmont manages a rousing 85 horsepower from a 3.3-liter inline six, and the Citation does only a little better with a 115-hp, 2.8-liter V6. The other highlight comes at the end when John Davis talks about the cars of the future. These include the upcoming introduction of the Ford Escort in the US and the mention of a possible gasoline-electric hybrid from General Motors. Given this pilot, it's amazing MotorWeek ever got the green light. However, if you're a fan of auto history, seeing the news from the past is always fascinating.
