Here is a very nice classic 1969. Slight resto mod. Nothing over the top but I didn't want to build just another " clone " or " tribute " car. This is a frame on restoration. There are still a few details to taken care of on this car but I have a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a different project so sadly I have to sell this car. Bodywork and Paint The car was taken down to bare metel to properly take care of the body work. Some of the body seams were reworked and properly filled in ( not with bondo). The seams below the rear window, the seams around the front end of the car, above and below the grille. The front side markers were removed, filled in and relocated. They were also switched to 1968 side markers. I didnt the like long skinny 69 style markers. The front bumper was also reworked. I had the " horns " removed and rechromed. The car is painted a slight variation of Atomic Orange and finished off with some nice gray stripes. The rear spoiler was also reworked. It blends nicely in to the trunk deck lid. The rear lights are Marquez Design billet and I smoked the rear lenses. The bright red lenses didn't look good against the Atomic Orange. The smoked lenses play off the tinted windows nicely. Wheels are nice set of stock rally wheels. 15's in the rear mounted with Cooper Cobra Radial GT 245/60/15. On the front are 14" wheels on Coopers 225/70/14 with 2 inch drop spindles. Engine and Mechanical The 307 that was in the car was pulled and rebuilt to retain the originality. It was bored out .20 over. It has a mild RV cam, intake manifold was ported and polished. Holley 750 double pumper. The belt system was changed over to a serpentine belt drive system. Along with the serpentine setup comes an A/C pump but its not hooked up. The car was equiped with factory A/C but it wasn't able to be saved. Nice old school Holley valve covers. The alternator was taken apart, polished just enough to add a little shine, then reassembled. A nice billet spark plug wire harness keeps the wires out of the way and safe. Hooker Headers wrap around the Saginaw gearbox. Billet transmission dipstick. Optima Yellow Top Battery. Electric fan to help keep the engine cool. New gas tank. Dual exhaust that sounds awesome. The car still needs a few details to totally complete the car. Windshield wiper motor, wipers, fuel sending unit and weather stripping for upper window frame ( sorry, i dont know the technical name of that part) will just about wrap up the remaining details. The radio does not work but I just use my Big Jambox bluetooth speaker and play music from my phone, plenty loud enough. No speaker holes cut into anything. This is a fresh restoration. I barely have over 500 miles on the car since the restoration and just changed the braek in oil. If this car doesnt sell, I will be taking care of all the little details left and then take the car to Barrett-Jackson or Mecum. This camaro might not make it on to the grass at Pebble Beach but will definately hold its own at Barrett Jackson/Mecum auctions so I've been told be several people who go to these auctions and have seen this car in person. Registration is current and valid until November 2015. Nice pair of restored black california plates. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle to have satisfied his or her self as to the condition and value & to bid based upon that judgement.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Next Chevy Silverado could get this built-in tailgate step

Thu, Feb 2 2017

General Motors just received patent approval for a tailgate step in a pickup bed. And given the timing, don't be surprised if you see this on the upcoming 2019 Silverado pickup (not the mention its GMC Sierra twin), expected to arrive in late 2018. According to the patent, granted in December of last year, the whole mechanism is housed in the tailgate assemble. The magic happens when a portion of the top half of the tailgate swings down and a step folds out. There's also a handle that locks into position to help climb up into the bed. As trucks get bigger and taller over the years, it gets harder and harder to access the cargo bed. Ford's solution with the 2009 F-150 was a step that slides out from the end of the tailgate. Back then, Chevy made an ill-advised ad highlighting the feature for Ford. And while Howie Long mocked the F-150's "man step" Ford saw almost a third of its trucks with the option in the first year. The GM design seems to improve on Ford's idea as it appears to be wider and has a back to the lower step. That is, you don't have to worry about stepping through the ladder-rung design as on the F-150. Ford's tailgate step later spread to the F Super Duty, and other cargo access assists have proliferated through the truck world. On the most recent redesign, the Chevrolet Silverado took a trick from the Avalanche and added cutouts to the corners of the rear bumper that act as a foothold. Ford also offers a deployable side step, Chevrolet has running boards that scoot rearward with a kick of the boot, and Ram offers fixed wheel-to-wheel side rails. Nissan is in on the game too, with an optional folding step that tucks under the rear bumper. We don't expect Chevrolet to comment on when or if we'll see this feature in the showrooms. But given that engineers are already hard at work on the next Silverado and the timing of this patent lines right up with the new truck's development cycle, we'll be disappointed if this patent stays in the file cabinet.
