I bought this car a while back on a whim because of its great condition,I really don't have time to restore it as I'm already working on 3 other muscle cars.All I've done to it is change plugs,wires and adjust timing.Runs decent,has some slight smoke when revved.Could just be a rich condition.One of the best examples of a unrestored car I've seen in the southeast rust wise.Original colors were Grean/Green.I don't remember the actaul colot name at the moment.All rust is pictured.It could easily become a driver.Here's everything I can think of mecanical wise.

The Good,
1975 block 350/350 Engine and trans.Heads are 186 double hump with accessory holes dates 3/69
Engine compression between 175 and 188 checked cold and dry.Aftermarket aluminum radiator.
Clean/clear title

The Bad,
Leaks atf fluid from pump,Balancer seal leaks,power steering works,but leaks bad from box,Car has usual bad brakes associated with old drum brakes on all 4 wheels,Weak springs,leans on passenger side,Noise coming from speedo when driving needle bounces,No trunk or door keys,trunk open with screwdriver,Windshield cracked and weathered badly,

The Missing,
Trans dipstick is missing,Engine dipstick is broke off in block if you were to remove header there still plenty to grab on to ,so pulling it out should not be an issue,prvious ower just had a Mr. Gasket one sitting on top of it.There's no inner fenders or battery box.Also the plug wires on it will be replaced with others as these belong to my camaro.

    All rust is pictured
The Body,
Rust hole front bottom driver door
Floor pans solid,small rust spot driver floor board
Bottom rear of front fenders have been patched with a lap joint and spot welded,not professional IMO,but functional. "One side pictured"
Remainder of front fenders and rad support solid,not even pitting on underside of fenders or support.
Bottom rear of both quarters need some small patching,driver more than passenger
Inside of wheel lips need the smallest of metal work as can be seen.
All original quarters!!!
Package tray solid,small amount of rust on weather stripping from deck lid to truck
Dash and metal under rear widow look free and clean of rust from what can be seen which is highly unusual
Trunk floor is still intact,has the usual extensive rust pitting,if making a driver,you could easily epoxy prime undercoat/thin roll on bedliner and splatter paint the floor ad a mat and you would never know if your not looking for a show car.Chalky section in the trunk is where I put phosphoric acid on it to experiment with rust removal then had to leave suddenly,so it was not removed in time.It will come back off with a wire wheel or I believe if you reapply it will become active again and rinse away with water.
All body parts are there that have been removed in pics,Rear bumper is about the same condition as the front fairly straight with bad chrome.
Passenger side rear quarter above bumper has some bondo coming through a hole.
Driver door slightly sags needs adjusted/hinge bushings replaced
Passenger doors outside handle does not work.
Really bad DA work on exterior paint by previous owner
Overall the car has minimal rust in my opinion and is very straight.

This is everything i can think of as of now.Please email me with any other questions you may have.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
