Rear Suspension: GM 8.5" 10-Bolt from 2nd gen Camaro, stock '53 leaf springs, 1" lowering blocks

Body: Clean original body, decklid smoothed, pass door handle shaved, never completed drives side. Hood peak started but not finished. Has some minor rust on rear lower quarters and panel below decklid, as well as front floor pans, but easy fix. No rust anywhere else. Have all trim pieces including extra pieces. Taillights are '54 chrome bezels with aftermarket Lee bubble lenses. Headlights are original bezels and new headlights.

Interior: Original bench seats, recovered in the 90's with blue fabric/velour, looks decent. No carpet, headliner is original and needs to be replaced but have all bows, no door panels, but have door panel trim pieces, arm rests, and backer panels to be recovered or used as pattern. Have misc Bel-Air interior trim pieces to dress up the interior as well. Chrome garnish moldings in driver quality, dash is complete minus radio, have ashtray and glovebox. Complete instrument cluster. Stewart Warner fuel level gauge works. Good clean original glass throughout, only vent windows show age, all glass rubber in decent shape. Door hinge pins rebushed and open & close nicely.

Wheels/Tires: Stock 15"x6" Steel Wheels with chrome "spacer" caps. BF Goodrich 6.70-15 Bias Ply Wide White Wall Tires in great shape. Not many miles, but are showing age from sitting.

Misc: New Brass/Copper Aftermarket Radiator, New Hoses, New Belts, New Fluids, Oil Filter Relocation Kit, Dual Reservior Master Cylinder under floor, lots of extra parts. Have all bumpers, trim, extra front grille, misc trim pieces, all fasteners, all factory removed parts and extras.

Other: The alternator was robbed off this car and used on another vehicle, it was a Delco 10si, I might have another one I will toss in if I can find it. The brake master cyl was removed to fit new hoses and never reinstalled, two bolts and the hoses and it's done. It has speed bleeders on the front brakes for one-man bleeding. The oil filter relocation kit was to clear the stock '89 exhaust manifolds and was never mounted permanent, it could easily be mounted, or removed as the filter clears the manifolds fine. The exhaust was never hooked up to the manifolds. Was planning to build custom headers and a new exhaust system altogether, but didnt get that far. Easy to connect the pipes to the manifolds. The manifolds are original '89 with smog ports that were welded up, I have a set of identical manifolds without the smog ports that look better but are not installed. The firewall was smoothed, air vents left intact and they do work. Headlights, Taillights, Brake Lights, and Ignition all work. Car will need a new battery. I will include all extra parts and pieces I have for this car.

This is an easy project and can be put back on the road with a weekend of tinkering. Finish the body & paint and toss the interior back in and have a fine custom car that can be driven anywhere.

This car was a stalled project. In 2007 it got the engine/trans installed, rebuilt suspension, wiring, etc etc etc, and was running & driving in 2008, but never saw more than a few miles to work out the bugs. It got put on the backburner to work on other projects and has sat undriven since then, but was started every couple of months since. It has always been stored indoors, hasn't spent a night outside since we got it in 2007. This was an Oklahoma car, so the body is in decent condition. The title is a clear Oklahoma Title.

I'm sure I am forgetting things, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask via messaging and I will reply ASAP.

The car is located in North Austin, Texas. Will need to be towed away. No refunds, no returns, sold as-is.

 

**************************PHOTOS OF EXTERIOR WERE TAKEN WHEN THIS CAR WAS PULLED OUT OF MY SHOP THE DAY I MOVED, IT WAS PUT INTO THE NEW GARAGE ON THE SAME DAY. PLEASE EXCUSE THE DUST. I WILL TAKE NEW PHOTOS IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO AND WILL UPDATE THIS AD WITH THEM ASAP, THANKS.*****************************

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
