Up for sale is a 1979 Z28 Camaro. This was my project for the last 14 months and just got it on the road 2 weeks ago. It has a ton of new parts/paint which I will list below as well as some needs which I will also list. It is powered by a good running 355 Chevy with a mild cam and a 4 speed manual transmission. With the Flowmaster exhaust is sounds aggressive.
The Good:
Body work and paint completed May 2013- this included replacing a rocker panel, stripping car to bare metal and then painting it white. Interior was completely removed and floors were repaired. Brand new carpet was installed, interior was dyed black. Brand new interior door panels, window cranks, and brand new weather stripping. My mechanic went through cars wiring and replaced and corrected the electrical in the car. The hood scoop is off of an 81 Camaro with the air induction. Hood hinges and door hinges were replaced-new. I also put a lot of money into making this car safe. I bought a brand new brake booster, brand new stainless steel brake lines for front and rear along with brand new brake hoses for front and rear. New rotors, calipers, along with new brake pads. I also replaced the front springs and shocks on the car along with some of the front suspension parts (tie rods, sway bar, etc). New plugs, wires, new headers, Brand new Flowmaster exhaust- true duals with an X-Pipe. The car has brand new 17" polished rims along with a new set of 235-45-17 tires (less than 100 miles).
The bad-
I am going to try to list every thing even if it seems small. I will start with the interior- The windshield has 2 rock hits (pictured), headliner could probably use replacing at some point (has a small hole (smaller than dime), small tear in dash (pictured), no AC, no radio, fuel gauge doesn't work, speedometer slightly off, gauge cluster may need to be replaced, center console not perfect (not bad), and the sunroof will leak slightly in the rain. Exterior- The rear spoiler has a small crack, The Z28 flares are not 100% lined up, the Z28 stripes were not installed perfectly (some creases here and there, but not bad), windshield wipers don't work.
Any questions please ask. I have put a lot of money into this car, but it will need a little more to be perfect. Not a show quality car, but a great weekend driver. I wish I could keep, but am forced to sell. It gets a ton of looks and a lot of thumbs up as I drive around town the past 2 weeks.
I HAVE SET THE RESERVE PRICE LOW (less than half the money I put into it) SO PLEASE BID- I am located 5 minutes from O'hare airport in Chicago. I reserve the right to end the bid early if sold locally.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
