 I recently purchased this vehicle on a whim believing I could finish it up in no time and have a cool ride.  The previous owner spent 2 years getting it to the point that it could be driven, so I was sure it would be no big deal to complete the process.  As a 70 year old, you  think I would know better!  Therefore, it is being offered for sale to someone motivated to follow it through to the finish..   There are many great things to say about the car and I`ll cover those first.  The sheet metal is really solid.  He took it down to the metal, fixed very few pinholes of rust on the fender dog legs, then sprayed it.  When I drove it home, I took a magnet and went over the entire outside and found those lower fender areas the only places the magnet would not hold.   There has been a repair to the passenger side rear floorboard, but the rest of the inside and the trunk floor is solid.  All in all, this body is in great shape for a 47 year old car.  I believe the steel hood is from an SS 396, but I don`t know that for a fact.  Regarding the engine, he told me it was a 350.  I looked for the stamped code on the passenger side cylinder head pad and found nothing.  I then recalled seeing that missing only when a block has been decked, and I believe that was done here.  After further inspection, I found two decals on the passenger side of the block indicating it was a Four Star rebuilt.  It also had a production code, so I`m hoping I can research the number and get the engine information.  I will add that to the description if I am successful.   The transmission, I believe, is a Tremac T5 and shifts out fine.  I believe the clutch is heavy duty.  The rear end appears to be the stock 10 bolt.  The wheels are 15" Rally with 215/60/R15 front, and 235/60/R15 rear.  All the tires look great.  By the way, I asked the previous owner why, after putting so much time and effort into the car,  he was selling it.  He explained that he had found a tractor he wanted, but had to keep it in the garage, so the car had to go.  The car has a new front bumper, new radiator, new fuel tank, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, new door mirrors, new front windshield, and power disc brakes (drum rear).  Now, the items needed.  It has no headliner, is missing the stock front seats (he bolted some black buckets with tracks out of a VW, (I think).  It is missing the heater controls and radio.  It needs carpet, a dash pad (cracked),  the rear parcel shelf cover, and glass moldings..  I have done my best to describe this car as it sits and apologize in advance if I have overlooked any important details.  I feel there is a very reasonable reserve on the car and know that it has the potential of being a great driver once completed.  As a matter of information for prospective bidders, the car sold on June 30th for $6600, but the sale was cancelled due to an international shipping issue.  It was relisted and sold again on July 14th, but the winning bidder never contacted me and didn`t respond to any of my emails or calls.  Please bid only if you truly hope to be the successful bidder and you are in a position to make arrangements for shipping.  Thanks, and good luck bidding!

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
