This vehicle has been documented from day one, literally down to wiper blades and oil changes. Photos of paperwork are included in the 87 pictures at the link at the top and bottom of this listing. This vehicle is numbers matching (body panels/windows/wheels/drivetrain). The car has had a previous restoration so the paint is not original, but still in real nice shape. There is no rust under this vehicle and very little rust overall, the worst spot being behind the drives side rear wheel (picture in link). The quarter panel can easily be saved if you choose to fix but it never really bothered me enough to respray. The car is garage kept (and always has been) so it does not see water besides washes. Rocker panels are very good and other general problematic areas are solid as well.

The engine runs very well and starts right up, even on cold says. Transmission shifts smoothly and all gauges work as they should. No leaks, no burning oil, fluids are correct. Recent documented tuneup, brakes,tires and cat converter. This car passed NJ inspection with no problems and is still currently inspected.  Interior is in very nice shape as well. Period correct Kenwood cassette player has been installed as well as period correct pioneer speakers and amplifier. This is a 4 speaker option car. Radio can be converted back to original with ease as all wiring is still oem and correct. I will include the oem rear speaker grills as well with the sale.

The only thing this car really needs is a new belt for the Air Conditioning, Inner hood insulation some new weather stripping for doors (do not leak, just getting old) and a new front right bumper grill as it had cracked when I was washing the car. All in these parts will cost you about $200 to $300 depending on if you get them new or used. The car has a clean title and it is in hand with no liens. If you are looking for a great show winning car that you can drive every weekend and enjoy the way a muscle car is meant to be enjoyed, this is the one for you. It is garage kept, but not a garage queen. 

Hagerty rates these cars in very fair/poor condition at just under 10k to upwards of 40k in perfect condition. The insurance appraiser put this car right around 22k, as it was repainted and has small body issues, but remains all original in all other aspects ad far as body/interior and drivetrain. I am listing the car for only 7000 with no reserve!

My name is Steve and I can be contacted anytime with questions at 908-361-3616 or via ebay message. I can send you any pictures you need or any information you may want, that way you are comfortable bidding. HERE!

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
