This is a 1986 Chevy. El Camino with a 5.7L Tuned Port Injection engine and 700r4 4-speed automatic trans from a 1987 Pont. Trans Am. 
Car runs and drives great, have original build sheet to show it's a real SS

Over-sized front brake rotor, calipers and pads from 02 Chevy Trailbazer 
Brake lines have been flushed and re-filled with new fluid
60" drive shaft from Olds Delta 88
Gabriel air shocks on rear
Monte Carlo SS rims w/ brand new tires.

General info:
Interior is complete, no rips or tears but does show wear. (Planned  to replace seat using buckets from Monte SS) Dash has cracks and needs a dash cap installed.

Needs to be done::
Transmission tail-shaft speedo output is electric, needs to be converted to mechanical (speedometer will not work until the conversion is done)
Minor body work including replacing the tailgate
Completing air conditioning, needs dryer, high pressure line and charged. Compressor is on and turns freely, believe it to be good.
New headliner. 
Good performance exhaust system. Currently has factory TA headers into 2 1/4" dual exhaust with Flowmasters. 

READ THIS PART CAREFULLY:
Engine does smoke some, mostly at start-up. I believe the valve seals need replaced but have not spent any time on it because I had planned  to go completely through the motor to build as a beefed up daily driver. Engine has no lifter and no bottom end noise to indicate any internal problems. Again, engine runs very strong with NO bottom end noise. 

This car is no where near show ready but is rust-free, needs only minor body work and has an awesome engine set up for a driver or to be built as a hot rod.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
