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.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
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.
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.
