Condition

The camaro was stripped down to its components parts and taken to Metal Finishing Services in Jackson, MS where all body and frame parts were dipped to
remove ALL rust and then e-coated. There is no hidden rust on this vehicle. This service alone costs $4,000.

All body panels are in very good shape except for the shell. The shell needs extensive work to be ready for painting. Mainly replacement sections of
the floor pan, trunk bottom, and around the back glass. The shell has also had replacement rear quarterpanels previously installed. The induction hood has a
small raised 1/4 ” section that will need to be smoothed out. Please note that the shell does not have a trim tag.

The frame was also stripped and e-coated. It is in excellent condition.

The cast steel control arms need recoating but are otherwise in good shape, but the rest of the suspension components will probably need replacing. I do have
the tie rods, and probably the rear leaf springs if desired.

The dash and console pieces are all intact, but I am unsure if they are functioning. This includes AC controls and dash instruments.

The front and rear seats are dusty but upholstered without cuts.

The door innards (cranks and such) are all there, including the door knobs and locks.

The rear axle assembly and driveshaft will need to be sandblasted and recoated.

Additional pictures are available upon request. Keep in mind all body pieces except for the shell are wrapped in adhesive backed bubble wrap which would have
to be destroyed, which I am hesitant to do outside of a serious offer on the vehicle.

You will want to bring a big trailer to pick this up. It's about 3 crates full of stuff plus the frame, shell, and all body panels.

Payment:

Reserve is $4,000 firm. $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours. This is non-refundable.  If the deposit is not placed, I will contact the next buyer in line.  Serious buyers ONLY. It is not my fault if you didn’t read or request additional pictures. The remaining payment is to be made in full at time of pickup.

No trades.

Additional pictures can be found at the link below. They are BIG, about 5 MB per. It's a sampling of the major components in the 3 crates o' stuff.


Here you can see pictures of:

Front grill
windshield wipers
glove box
various hood / door hinges.
headers
seats front and back
front and rear light covers
steering column
Hardware labeled in zip lock bags
Radiator support bracket
brake mounting bracket + brake
Rear axle assembly + housing + drum brakes
Shocks & mounts
Gas tank
Rear leaf springs & mounting brackets
Front control arms upper and lower
Knuckles that went with them.
As you can see they are in various states of condition. If you want more pictures, just send me a message and I'll get more detail for you.

Edit. The rear spoiler was not e-coated as I believe it's made out of some kind of fiberglass?

To re-iterate and answer a few questions I've received from my previous auction ...

The body panels and frame were submerged and e-coated. This is not similar to media blasting. This is much more in-depth and expensive; Simply, it doesn't
get any better. Taken from Metal Finishing Service's website:

used which is identical to the process used by most auto manufacturers. Prior to E-coating a zinc phosphate coating is applied
E-Coating is compatible with any finish coat, including powder coatings or solvent based paints. It provides superior corrosion protection , especially when
followed by a powder coat topcoat.
Typical applications include auto bodies , frames and misc. parts, outdoor furniture, oilfield equipment , marine applications and any thing requiring superior
corrosion resistance.
E-coating services are provided for manufacturers, auto restorers, equipment rebuilders and others.

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Everyone remember the Silverado 1500 Custom Sport Chevrolet showed at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? Good. Now, the company has applied the same styling treatment to its heavy-duty pickups, introducing the 2500 and 3500 Custom Sports. The two trucks appeared today at the 2015 Denver Auto Show. A monochromatic look is the order of the day, with the heavy-duty Silverados getting body colored bumpers both fore and aft as well as a body color grille. Chrome accents sit in said grille, while the shiny finish can also be found on the door handles and mirrors. Buyers of the 2500 Custom Sport will get five-spoke, 20-inch, polished wheels, while the brawnier 3500 gets 18-inch polished hoops as standard (dualies are downgraded to 17-inchers). Custom Sport models are only available in Summit White or Black. The trim package can be added to both LT and LTZ models, with a price premium ranging from $700 to $1,695, depending on the truck.

GM's Oshawa plant may close after Camaro production moves

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Most of the time, when vehicle production is moved from one assembly plant to another, it spells bad news for the former. While General Motors won't go so far as to say its Oshawa, Ontario factory, which is losing the Chevrolet Camaro to the Lansing Grand River plant, is in trouble, analysts seem to think the factory's days are numbered. Forecasts for the facility are far from positive. The loss of the Camaro this year, combined with GM's targeted shutdown of a single-shift assembly line responsible for the fleet-only Chevy Impala Limited and the Equinox crossover is a bad enough omen. But with AutoForecast Solutions CEO Joe McCabe telling The Detroit News that the plant's other two products, the Cadillac XTS and Buick Regal, aren't likely to stick around beyond 2017, things look decidedly grim at Oshawa. "There is a fairly strong chance that the plant could close," Jeff Schuster, senior VP of forecasting for LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. That doesn't mean that Unifor, Canada's auto union, and the Canadian government are going to let the factory die without a fight. And with the latter chipping in $10 billion as part of GM's 2009 bailout, you might think it has a degree of leverage in the situation. A meeting between the government and the Detroit Three at the 2015 North American International Auto Show revealed that Oshawa is already a topic of conversation. "We made it very clear that we would like to see an indication on the future of Oshawa sooner, in particular because the timing is very challenging for our supply chain to be able to adjust to potentially future orders or changes, but also to know that there are going to be future opportunities at Oshawa," Ontario's Minister of Economic, Development, Employment and Infrastructure Brad Duguid told The Detroit News. "Bottom line: It's time they made a longer-term commitment here," Unifor President Jerry Dias said, echoing Duguid's statements. It's unclear if this sort of strong talk will be enough to save 3,300-plus employees, although based on the analysts' forecasts, we doubt it.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.
