 Purchased from my dad back in 2008 and improvements made below (most done around that time period):

  • New paint (PPG with multiple clearcoats--still in good condition)
  • New front bumper (rear bumper is still in very good condition)
  • New chrome pieces (various)
  • New GM Performance Parts 350 Crate motor (Iron head with RPM performer intake and Holley 4 BBL)
    • 4 BBL shows some hesitation that I can't get worked out--will need to be tuned  (car runs rich)
    • K&N airbreather
    • Dual Electric Fans from an LS1 camaro
  • New professionally built 400TH Transmission
    • Reverse Manual Valve Body
    • B&M Ratchet Shifter
  • New Moto Gear 3.73 positrac Ring and Pinion
  • New front Baer Trac Pack Disc Brakes (2 piston)
  • New Brake booster and master cylinder
  • New shoes for the rear drums
  • New American Racing Custom ordered (for proper back spacing) 17X8.5 Wheels
    • P245/40ZR up front (passenger side is now P235 as I had to put a spare on it after a recent flat) BF Goodrich G-Sport
    • P275/40ZR in the rear (still plenty of tread)
  • New MOOG Steering components
  • New Spohn Performance Sway bars (front and rear)
  • New Pro-Comp upper and lower Tubular control Arms (condition note--driver side grease nipple has come off and the grease nipple will need to be replaced)
  • New CPP 2" Drop Spindles
  • New 2" Drop Detroit Speed Springs
  • All new Doetsch Nitrogen 3 way adjustable shocks
  • New Tubular lower trailing control arms
  • Newer interior (replaced prior to my purchase of the vehicle)--signs of ware on driver-side carpets

The vehicle has passed state inspections in Missouri and Texas (as recent as last year).  I now live in Illinois and they do not require inspections.

I believe the car is a beautiful driver but is not a show car.  I am not aware of any bondo in the car as my body man did not have to add any for the prep work of the paint job.  The driver side rear quarter fender well should probably be replaced as I had to do some cutting on it (not visible from outside the car) to get a previous set of wheels to keep from rubbing.  The new wheels are properly backspaced and will not rub with a new wheel well.

I believe this represents the car well.  I believe the price reflects the fact that this car is not a show-car but a driver with very nice components.  I would estimate that I have over $27,000.00 in the car including the purchase price of $14,000 from my dad.  The car handles and stops very well.  I had to send off for the title as I recently relocated to Illinois and I have not received it back yet but expect it soon.  I do have a lien against the car through my credit union. 

Thank you for your interest.  I am not interested in trades.  I have found a Camaro that I am specifically trying to buy with the sell of this car.

Chevy, Lincoln dealers say they still want sedans

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Detroit automakers have famously turned their backs on sedans as they make the strategic bet to double down on money-making trucks and SUVs, but dealers for at least two American brands are giving the companies contrary signals. In separate recent interviews with leading national dealer councils for Chevrolet and Lincoln, Automotive News reports that both brands’ dealers still see a need for cars. The publication published a Q&A interview with Mike Bowsher, chairman of the Chevrolet National Dealer Council, who said Chevy dealers managed to hold onto market share last year despite the phase-out of the Cruze compact sedan and hatchback, thanks to products like the Spark and Sonic subcompacts and the Trax and Equinox crossovers. But, he acknowledged, “We do feel like we could use a car, especially in the low-MSRP range.” The comments follow similar recent comments from Tom Lynch, who chairs the Lincoln National Dealer Council. He told AN, “If weÂ’re not in segments where there is still a good amount of business, I think the company and the dealers lose out.” The Cruze was one of the victims of GMÂ’s November 2018 announcement of plant closures, with production having ceased with the closure of GMÂ’s Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant last year. GM sold 47,975 Cruzes in 2019 but a healthy 142,617 in 2018. At Lincoln, Lynch said the council has been telling the company it needs to stick with the sedan segment, despite plans to kill the MKZ sedan in the coming months and unconfirmed reports that the Continental isnÂ’t long for this world, either, despite the buzz of the suicide-door Coach Door Edition, shown in the photo above. Lincoln sold 17,725 MKZs and 6,586 Continental sedans in 2019, down a combined 15%, but still good for almost 22% of overall Lincoln sales. It's worth noting that Lincoln competes in a luxury segment that still expresses allegiance to four- and two-door cars. Even Cadillac, its cross-town rival, is staying active with the upcoming CT5 and CT4 sedans. Lynch pointed to Tesla as evidence that strong sedan products can resonate with consumers, though he conceded that “What that looks like for Lincoln going forward, IÂ’m not sure of.” For now, anyway, Chevy still offers the Sonic and Spark subcompacts, the latter of which saw sales climb 32.5% in 2019 to 31,281 (Sonic sales fell nearly as steeply).

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
