I bought this car to restore for myself, but have decided to concentrate on getting my sons Z28 done. This Camaro is a great restoration project. It is a 1979 Camaro RS, 90% original. The car was side swiped on the RH side in 1994. The RH fender, RH inner fender well and right door were damaged and were non repairable. The previous owner bought a NOS right fender and Inner fender well. He bought a used RH door. The rear quarter has damage but is very minor and I would repair it, not replace it. The floor pans are 100% rust free and trunk pan is 100% rust free. The only real rust on the car is the rear sail panel underneath(good luck finding one without it) and then one small spot on the right dogleg behind the right door. Interior is decent but not great. Driver seat has a couple tears in it, right seat is good and the rear seats are very good. Carpet is clean and headliner has been replaced but is once again sagging. The rear interior panels have been painted and look okay. It is driver quality interior. Car has cruise, tilt, A/C, delay wipers, and Rally Wheels. I pulled the rear seat and found the build sheet. Car was ordered for Essig Motors in Washington IL. Car was built in Norwood Ohio. The car has a NOS upper grill in it, lower grill is gone. Front and rear bumper covers are good, taillights are good but have the standard spider cracks in the reverse light lenses. This car is unmolested, still retains the catalytic convertor. Someone did add air shocks and a hitch to the car. Car has a 350 in it and it does run. I disconnected the gas line and had the car running off a gas can. I had it running for about 3-4 minutes as it is missing the radiator but it sounds good. Car is missing radiator, a/c compressor, door pulls, and sill plates. The RS is more rare than the Z28 and I have always wanted one. As soon as I found this one I had to have it. But, having one Camaro in a million pieces right now is enough, and I don't really have the time to do both cars. Located in Cambridge IL.
Also, I had to remove the ignition switch as the previous owner could not locate the keys. However, I removed it as it should so nothing is broken.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
