I bought this car when it moved up from I believe Arkansas with a blown motor. the car is really clean and I took the motor and trans out sanded painted and undercoated from the firewall back to the back bumper. the engine bay was cleaned where I could get to it. the original 700r4 overdrive transmission is in it. in the last few months ive done all 4 shocks, radiator, exhaust and header gaskets, alternator and starter, heater core, some vacuum lines, window motor, window tint, wipers, oil change, outer window seals, low beam headlights, the list goes on and on. its my daily driver so the miles will go up, I just have too many cars and trying to sell a few off. the motor in it is from a 73 chevy its a 4 bolt main 010 block that done along time ago and I had it sitting around and put it in the car. the four bolt main motor is now .030 over so its a 355 cubic inch motor with flat top pistons if I remember right its a comp cams 268 cam but it might be the 262 cam. long tube headers and the intake is the original 1985 aluminum one from the 305 that the car came with, the "tamper proof" carb has had all the adjustments opened up so its tuneable. all the a/c stuff is still there but doesn't work, I did a trans flush a couple months back also. when the motor went in I had dual exhaust from the headers all the way back to the rear bumper put on. true duals!! with raptor mufflers it sounds pretty mean. it has a sony cd deck in it, and a kicker amp with a single 12" subwoofer in the trunk.

now the bad: a vacuum line leak wont let the heater controls change the position so its stuck half on defrost and floor, the washers dont work and if you turn the wipers on they stay on until you shut the car off. passenger window rolls down but it picks and chooses when it wants to go up sometimes, the windshield has a crack in it, the driver seat motor runs I can hear it but the seat doesn't move, the rear bumper filler pieces are missing and the left front wheel trim moulding is missing, the top of the hood and trunk are sun baked, the door seals leak a little water when you wash the car or in a heavy rain and you get a little wind noise from them when going down the road.

like I said I daily drive it so it doesn't really affect how it runs and drives, I like the car its big and roomy but I have too many cars and cant keep paying storage for everything

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
