Original motor is gone as well as the trans, when I bought the car the owner thought he might have them buried somewhere in storage but they have yet to surface. Car is sitting on original rims and still has the original 10 bolt posi and everything is free, she rolled right on and off the trailer when I picked her up originally. Sequoia Green with "Covert" (light tan) interior. Interior is all there including the original AM/FM pushbutton radio, nothing is hacked up. Original dash and U-14 gauges and correct tach are all there. Seats will need recovering and door panels will need replacing, etc... but it's all available repro. All the glass is decent (factory tinted) and I put a solid OEM hood on the car since the original was shot.
Front and rear correct sway bars are all there as are the spoilers. The original console was missing, I found a correct 4-Speed console from a 71 which is in excellent condition and I have the correct 72 shift plate without the shift pattern on it and the correct ITM shifter for the car that will be included. Also have the hard to find Z-28 Exhaust Heat Shields, these go with the car, they were removed as I was cleaning them up and sandblasting them, I've been offered $250 just for these, they are not reproduced anywhere. Since last look I also realized that the mileage on the clock is most likely original, the previous owner told me that the car was parked sometime in the 80's and it's not likely the car had 150 something on it by then, so I'm betting that it's got 56153 original on it.
On the rust side, there are two rust-throughs on the rear framerails but it's where they swing up into the axle well and the rails themselves are structurally intact up into the trunk pan and to the tail panel. The wheelhouses, shock towers and metal above the rails back to the rear are not bad at all. Trunk floor is rusty but not full of holes, original jack is still in there. The rear suspension is intact and sitting right and sway bars are in place, springs don't look half bad either for that matter. It's got the typical Camaro rust in the rear quarters at the bottom and into the doors, it's not the worst I've seen, can probably get away with 1/2 quarters unless you want to put fulls on. Again, inner and outer wheelhouses are good in the rear and shock towers are solid. Rockers have some holes but again, not bad.
Floors are not bad in rear and under rear seat but some holes in front floors. Front fenders have the typical rust on the rear lower portions but I would say are salvageable with lower patch panels. Valance and header have surface rust but no holes, definitely can be retained. Rear lower valance has rot. The urethane nose has a cracked part as is typical. Radiator support is intact but has some typical rust below where the radiator was. Roof looks good as do the a-pillars and top of cowl down the firewall to the toeboards, nothing bad for the most part. Bumperettes are not bad and neither are the lights and markers and trim, not show car material but would clean up for driver/survivor look. Front subframe does not look bad and the body mounts are not all torn up and shot so again this is a good sign. You can see from the engine bay photos that someone literally yanked the motor and trans and just left everything else there, even wiring harnesses and accessories. The Z-bar and lockout linkage is even still there for the trans.
There are no keys for this car but I have a full new cylinder set with ignition, doors and trunk that I will provide with the car.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
