Original motor is gone as well as the trans, when I bought the car the owner thought he might have them buried somewhere in storage but they have yet to surface. Car is sitting on original rims and still has the original 10 bolt posi and everything is free, she rolled right on and off the trailer when I picked her up originally. Sequoia Green with "Covert" (light tan) interior. Interior is all there including the original AM/FM pushbutton radio, nothing is hacked up. Original dash and U-14 gauges and correct tach are all there. Seats will need recovering and door panels will need replacing, etc... but it's all available repro. All the glass is decent (factory tinted) and I put a solid OEM hood on the car since the original was shot.

Front and rear correct sway bars are all there as are the spoilers. The original console was missing, I found a correct 4-Speed console from a 71 which is in excellent condition and I have the correct 72 shift plate without the shift pattern on it and the correct ITM shifter for the car that will be included. Also have the hard to find Z-28 Exhaust Heat Shields, these go with the car, they were removed as I was cleaning them up and sandblasting them, I've been offered $250 just for these, they are not reproduced anywhere. Since last look I also realized that the mileage on the clock is most likely original, the previous owner told me that the car was parked sometime in the 80's and it's not likely the car had 150 something on it by then, so I'm betting that it's got 56153 original on it.

On the rust side, there are two rust-throughs on the rear framerails but it's where they swing up into the axle well and the rails themselves are structurally intact up into the trunk pan and to the tail panel. The wheelhouses, shock towers and metal above the rails back to the rear are not bad at all. Trunk floor is rusty but not full of holes, original jack is still in there. The rear suspension is intact and sitting right and sway bars are in place, springs don't look half bad either for that matter. It's got the typical Camaro rust in the rear quarters at the bottom and into the doors, it's not the worst I've seen, can  probably get away with 1/2 quarters unless you want to put fulls on. Again, inner and outer wheelhouses are good in the rear and shock towers are solid. Rockers have some holes but again, not bad.

Floors are not bad in rear and under rear seat but some holes in front floors. Front fenders have the typical rust on the rear lower portions but I would say are salvageable with lower patch panels. Valance and header have surface rust but no holes, definitely can be retained. Rear lower valance has rot. The urethane nose has a cracked part as is typical. Radiator support is intact but has some typical rust below where the radiator was. Roof looks good as do the a-pillars and top of cowl down the firewall to the toeboards, nothing bad for the most part. Bumperettes are not bad and neither are the lights and markers and trim, not show car material but would clean up for driver/survivor look. Front subframe does not look bad and the body mounts are not all torn up and shot so again this is a good sign. You can see from the engine bay photos that someone literally yanked the motor and trans and just left everything else there, even wiring harnesses and accessories. The Z-bar and lockout linkage is even still there for the trans.

There are no keys for this car but I have a full new cylinder set with ignition, doors and trunk that I will provide with the car.

I have 4 boxes of parts for restoration I will include with the car valued over $2000 with reserve price met.

Reminder - this car needs a complete restoration, ask any questions you have before bidding please!

Buyer must come with a trailer, pay cash and pickup the car, we will not be shipping but will assist with loading.

Car is for sale locally so reserving right to end auction early however will not sell locally below my Ebay reserve.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs

Tue, Oct 20 2015

Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Impala bi-fuel sales; VW e-Up fire

Tue, Dec 15 2015

Chevrolet has delivered about 200 units of its bi-fuel Impala so far. The automaker originally planned to begin sales in summer of 2014, but was delayed over a year due to quality concerns. Now, the bi-fuel Impala, which runs on both gasoline and CNG, has begun delivery, mostly to commercial and fleet customers. The car begins at $38,210 (including destination charges), and will be available at 3,200 US dealerships. Production of a 2016 model is underway. Read more at Green Car Reports. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced $35 million in funding for hydrogen and fuel cell technology projects. The money will support research and development, manufacturing, and early deployment of the technologies. The DOE also wants to bring together consortia to work together on fuel cell cost, performance, and durability, as well as hydrogen storage research. "As FCEVs become increasingly commercially available, the Energy Department is focused on advancements to enable hydrogen infrastructure including production, delivery, storage, and manufacturing, as well as continuing to reduce fuel cell cost and improve durability," the DOE said in a statement. Read more from the DOE. A Volkswagen e-Up! caught fire after a collision with a train in Norway. The driver, Christopher Traasdahl Saether, was able to jump from the electric Volkswagen before the train hit, and was physically unharmed. It also appears that there were no injuries among the passengers on the train. "It was quite a way to start the day," says Saether. A photographer at the scene reported that the car burst into flames when a salvage crew attempted to remove the wreckage from the railway crossing.
