Up for sale is a 1979 Z28 Camaro. This was my project for the last 14 months and just got it on the road 2 weeks ago. It has a ton of new parts/paint which I will list below as well as some needs which I will also list. It is powered by a good running 355 Chevy with a mild cam and a 4 speed manual transmission. With the Flowmaster exhaust is sounds aggressive.
The Good:
Body work and paint completed May 2013- this included replacing a rocker panel, stripping car to bare metal and then painting it white. Interior was completely removed and floors were repaired. Brand new carpet was installed, interior was dyed black. Brand new interior door panels, window cranks, and brand new weather stripping. My mechanic went through cars wiring and replaced and corrected the electrical in the car. The hood scoop is off of an 81 Camaro with the air induction. Hood hinges and door hinges were replaced-new. I also put a lot of money into making this car safe. I bought a brand new brake booster, brand new stainless steel brake lines for front and rear along with brand new brake hoses for front and rear. New rotors, calipers, along with new brake pads. I also replaced the front springs and shocks on the car along with some of the front suspension parts (tie rods, sway bar, etc). New plugs, wires, new headers, Brand new Flowmaster exhaust- true duals with an X-Pipe. The car has brand new 17" polished rims along with a new set of 235-45-17 tires (less than 100 miles).
The bad-
I am going to try to list every thing even if it seems small. I will start with the interior- The windshield has 2 rock hits (pictured), headliner could probably use replacing at some point (has a small hole (smaller than dime), small tear in dash (pictured), no AC, no radio, fuel gauge doesn't work, speedometer slightly off, gauge cluster may need to be replaced, center console not perfect (not bad), and the sunroof will leak slightly in the rain. Exterior- The rear spoiler has a small crack, The Z28 flares are not 100% lined up, the Z28 stripes were not installed perfectly (some creases here and there, but not bad), windshield wipers don't work.
Any questions please ask. I have put a lot of money into this car, but it will need a little more to be perfect. Not a show quality car, but a great weekend driver. I wish I could keep, but am forced to sell. It gets a ton of looks and a lot of thumbs up as I drive around town the past 2 weeks.
I HAVE SET THE RESERVE PRICE LOW (less than half the money I put into it) SO PLEASE BID- I am located 5 minutes from O'hare airport in Chicago. I reserve the right to end the bid early if sold locally.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
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.
