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.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
