This is an older restoration and has been a daily driver for the last 3 years. Last winter the shelter it was parked under, partially collapsed and did very minor damage. A small crease on the roof which can be seen through the vinyl and the antennae was bent which cracked the paint around the mounting hole. I pulled the right fender off to do the repair and noticed the lower rear quarter was improperly repaired during the restoration. I pulled the other fender off and it was the same. I bought the correct patch panels and welded them on and finished it to the primer stage. They still need to be block sanded and color matched. As this was a driver and had some dings and scratches I thought I would take care of all that. No time. We are in the process of moving and I'm taking an overseas contract. It would take very little to finish. This is not a turn key car that you can enter in a show and win anything but it is turn key that you could drive it to the west coast and back with no issues. This car gets driven often and has been very reliable.

I bought this from Streetside Classics in Charlotte 5 years ago. They said it was a real SS and not a clone but didn't have the documentation. I'm not a purist or collector and wasn't really concerned about the history. This was a good looking solid car and I did not investigate further. I added several thousand in upgrades but kept all the original parts.

Interior: Everything looks to be new. Needs dome light lens. There is a stock radio in the dash but no speakers. They were old and cracked so I tossed them and didn't get around to replacing them.

Engine: Replaced cam with a Comp Cams 268H .485 lift and duration of 219. Replaced the quadrajet with an Edelbrock carb. Replaced the points style distributor with a new GM HEI unit. Replaced exhaust manifolds with Hedman headers and a Pypes 3'' exhaust system and Dynamax mufflers. Installed new radiator. Made custom battery cables from welding cable. They are more flexible, durable and carry more amps.

Chassis: SPC performance series tubular front lower control arms, ride height adjustment kit, SPC pro series coil spring set, Street comp stage 2 plus prolite arms, Currie tubular rear control arms/adjustable upper with johnny joint, Currie billet aluminum lower control arms, Hellwig sway bar 1.25" tubular front bar with severe duty end links, Hellwig sway bar 1 1/8" tubular adjustable rear bar, Bilstien HD front and rear shocks, rear disc brake kit, Steering box and pump were replaced with a quick ratio unit from a 1979 WS6 Trans am. This car desperately needs 17" wheels to compliment the suspension system and add a little more ride height.

Driveline: Turbo 400 trans believe to be stock. Eaton posi track rear end. 12 bolt GM rear.

GM threatens predatory dealers with order cancellations, non-transferrable warranties

Fri, Jul 29 2022

General Motors will launch a second salvo against misbehaving dealerships next week with a new set of policies aimed at curbing predatory markup strategies. With the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV SUV and Cadillac Escalade-V about to head into production, GM is putting its foot down yet again. Dealers that attempt to circumvent GM's markup restrictions by dealing directly with brokers or other resellers could find themselves in a particularly nasty spot, as the company is threatening to withhold future allocations and end the transferability of warranties when dealers facilitate the reselling of vehicles within 12 months. While this may help curb some dealership chicanery, it's possible the real loser in such a deal could end up being the customer who unwittingly ends up with an un-warrantied vehicle. We suspect GM has accounted for that, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out exactly how these new policies will be enforced.

GM follows up Lambda CUV stop-sale with tire recall

Mon, Feb 9 2015

In late January, General Motors announced a stop-sale for about 6,281 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave because of the possibility for the treads cracking on their 18-inch Goodyear Fortera HL tires. At the time, GM said that this would also eventually lead to a safety campaign to repair the problem, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has just published those details. GM's recall covers 5,876 of the three Lambda platform crossovers to replace their tires. According to NHTSA, if the treads crack, there could be a loss of pressure and possible failure. Goodyear already announced its own recall of the tires after internal testing found small tread cracks. The company did not believe this was safety issue, but the problem did put the rubber out of compliance with federal laws. The business's safety campaign covered an estimated 48,512 tires. Of those, around 32,000 were reportedly made for GM to either be fitted to vehicles or sold as replacements. The remainder went to the aftermarket. Goodyear's portion of the recall is expected to begin around February 20. RECALL Subject : Tire Tread Cracking/FMVSS 110 Report Receipt Date: JAN 28, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V044000 Component(s): TIRES Potential Number of Units Affected: 5,876 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BUICK ENCLAVE 2015 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE 2015 GMC ACADIA 2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Buick Enclave vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 14, 2015, 2015 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 20, 2015, and 2015 GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured December 9, 2014, to January 16, 2015, and all equipped with Goodyear P255/65R18 Fortera HL tires. These vehicles are equipped with tires that may experience tread cracking. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims and Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less." CONSEQUENCE: If the tire treads crack, a loss of tire pressure and possible tire failure may result, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the tires that were manufactured within a specific date range, free of charge.
