Up for sale is a 1969 camaro that we are sure is a SS, ( has front disc brakes, quick ratio steering box, dual fuel lines,12 bolt rear, unsure if its a posi, multi leaf springs, dual exaust and the factory hangers are still intact) it has all the Rs items on it it appears, vacuum hoses, lower reverse lights on tail panel, hideaway head lights ect, but there really isnt a way that ive found to say without a doubt its a RS, so the car will be sold as a SS with RS options. The car has been stored away since the mid 80s but as you can see it hasnt been stored inside all its life. car is originally hugger orange with black interior, but is now white with white houndstooth interior. the engine in the car is not the numbers matching engine to the car it is 3932388 which decodes to a 69 350 255hp block, car hasnt ran for multiple years but is not seized i was able to rotate it by hand. trans is a turbo 400 i believe but im not 100% sure it could be a turbo 350 but again has not been used in years. car ran and drove when parked. The body on the car is in pretty decent shape, the trunk pan will need replaced, only a partial though not a full, on both quarters there is rust starting to show right around the lip of the wheel well, and a small amount on the rocker panels. havent pulled the top off to see whats under there but it feels pretty solid. inside the car you can see the seat skins are weathered and will need to be replaced, the carpet isnt to bad and neither is the headliner, there is a console without gauges, and it doesnt have a tach in the dash like it should. The car will need some work but it is all there and is a good start to building a nice muscle car. We purchased this car in hopes of restoring it but it seems we have to many cars, finished and projects and not enough room so this one will have to go

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
