1972 Chevrolet Camaro Base 5.7l on 2040-cars
Concord, North Carolina, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1972 split bumper RS Camaro. This car is a drivable project that I’ve been working on for several years. The body of this car is in good shape. The car looks to have been hit in the rear at some time and had a quarter panel replaced. I have replaced the lower quarter panel on the other side so there are no worries of rusted quarters. I re-skinned one door and replaced both front fenders with new ones. Both upper and lower header panels were also replaced with new steel. I’ve replaced the original urethane nose with a fiber glass nose. The car has a six inch cowl Harwood hinged fiberglass hood. The original sub frame rubber mounts have been replaced with new polyurethane bushings. The car has a new windshield and the other glass seems to be original and in fair condition. The only sheet metal work needed would be a trunk floor pan. The paint is two years old and is about a seven out of ten on a quality scale with one dent in the passenger door. Under the hood is a 3970010 four bolt main 350ci. with less than two thousand miles on it. The engine has a set of pink rods and a performance summit cam that rumbles and shakes the car pretty good. The heads are G.M. factory aluminum that have been hand ported intake and exhaust and flowed on a flow bench. The rockers are aluminum roller tips topped by custom sheet metal aluminum valve covers. The intake is an open plain Victor jr. with a Holley 650 sitting on top. The car has a 400 transmission with a 2500 rpm stall converter. The wheels and tires were new ten years ago but only have about two thousand miles on them. The interior is in fair shape and is a desirable color. The gauge cluster is a custom panel with a set of Phantom gauges. The front seats are baji off road racing seats. This is a drivable, unfinished street rod not a show car. I have a clean title in hand. |

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
