I bought this car to restore for myself, but have decided to concentrate on getting my sons Z28 done.  This Camaro is a great restoration project.  It is a 1979 Camaro RS, 90% original.  The car was side swiped on the RH side in 1994.  The RH fender, RH inner fender well and right door were damaged and were non repairable.  The previous owner bought a NOS right fender and Inner fender well.  He bought a used RH door.  The rear quarter has damage but is very minor and I would repair it, not replace it.  The floor pans are 100% rust free and trunk pan is 100% rust free.  The only real rust on the car is the rear sail panel underneath(good luck finding one without it) and then one small spot on the right dogleg behind the right door.  Interior is decent but not great.  Driver seat has a couple tears in it, right seat is good and the rear seats are very good.  Carpet is clean and headliner has been replaced but is once again sagging.  The rear interior panels have been painted and look okay.  It is driver quality interior.  Car has cruise, tilt, A/C, delay wipers, and Rally Wheels.  I pulled the rear seat and found the build sheet.  Car was ordered for Essig Motors in Washington IL.  Car was built in Norwood Ohio.  The car has a NOS upper grill in it, lower grill is gone.  Front and rear bumper covers are good, taillights are good but have the standard spider cracks in the reverse light lenses.  This car is unmolested, still retains the catalytic convertor.  Someone did add air shocks and a hitch to the car. Car has a 350 in it and it does run.  I disconnected the gas line and had the car running off a gas can.  I had it running for about 3-4 minutes as it is missing the radiator but it sounds good.  Car is missing radiator, a/c compressor, door pulls, and sill plates.  The RS is more rare than the Z28 and I have always wanted one. As soon as I found this one I had to have it.  But, having one Camaro in a million pieces right now is enough, and I don't really have the time to do both cars.  Located in Cambridge IL. 

 

Also, I had to remove the ignition switch as the previous owner could not locate the keys.  However, I removed it as it should so nothing is broken.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
