Fully Restored Barn Find
The Restoration: The car has always been the Red on Red paint scheme. When we first got it I wasn't planning on going to the lengths we did to restore it but once we got into it I began to fall in love with the car and wanted to restore it to look better than the day it came off the lot only this time wanted to give it the heart and soul it deserves. I refused to turn it into a Resto Mod or an LS1 Conversion and ruin what this car is all about. I wanted to keep it looking just like the 60's with a real American 350 SBC. I then couldn't help myself as I bought every GM Restoration part that I could find as I completed a nut and bolt restoration.
The Body: There is no bondo on this car. It was fairly rust free when I got it but I didn't take any chances and wanted to build a car that would last for another 45 Years. Everything was GM Restoration parts Including: New 2 inch Cowl Full Steel Hood, New Fenders, New Doors, New Quarters, New Trunk Lid. It was finished in GM Victory Red Paint just like the new Corvettes. Every piece of Chrome was replaced as well: New Front and Rear Fenders, New Chrome Rockers, New Headlights and Bezels, New Taillights and Trim. Trunk is Done in the original speckle paint .
The Interior: Everything you see and touch in the interior is new. New Headliner, Sun Visors, Rear Cargo Shelf, New Seats in original style pattern, New Carpet, New Door Panels, New Arm Rests, New Cranks, New Dome Light, New Dash Pad, New Instrument Bezel and New Chrome Accessory Bezels, New Rear View Mirror and New Door Mirror, New Ignition and New Keys. The Beautiful Victory Red Paint was brought inside the car as well on the dash and doors.
The Drivetrain: The Heart and Soul of this car comes from a Brand New rebuilt 350 SBC from a 69 Camaro. It was completely redone by a local machine shop and comes with a 12 month 12,000 warranty. It has a street cam to give it that great loping sound. Believed to pump out 350hp. New 4 Core V8 Radiator and all new accessories and dress up chrome under the hood. The Transmission is a TH350 3 speed Automatic matched to the 10 bolt 3:73 Rear End with a Floor Shift B&M Shifter. The power is put down to the ground to the Cragar Classic 14 inch Wheels.
I don't know what else I could do to this car. Actually, after spending over $30,000 on the restoration I am out of money and over budget and I am in the middle of doing a 71 Camaro and need to sell this so I can fund that project.
These cars are among the most sought after muscle cars and are becoming very rare. There were only 4 of them at Barrett Jackson with some bringing over $100,000.
Time for someone to really enjoy this car.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
