1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic With 355 Sbc on 2040-cars

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

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
