1971 Original Rally Sport Camaro.  I bought this about a year ago and planned on restoring it, but plans have changed.  Motor is a 350 2bbl originally, and now has a weiand intake and Holley 4bbl that could use a rebuild.  Also has the original TH350 transmission. All this was explained to me form the previous buyer.  Motor had a valve issue the last owner said.  He bought a set of remanufactured DART 400 heads (cast iron) replaced the originals and the 2bbl intake with a 4bbl and drove it for 1 year in early 2002.  Car then was in dry storage until I bought it a year ago, and hadn't ran for a couple years.  I syphoned all the bad gas out did a couple oil changes, new fuel pump, plugs, and filters and got it to run.  It runs good, but it needs to be gone through before driving.  I would put new tires on it, and double check the brakes (There are no leaks and peddle is firm, but I haven't looked at them.  Shifter needs a new cable, due to it being a little sloppy but it shifted in all gears when I drove it to where it is stored now.  (Approx 2 miles) None of the electrical has been butchered and the EEC is still present under the hood.

 

Info I received on the car.  This car was restored in the late 90s with half quarters, and a driver’s door.  The interior was changed then from sandalwood to the black you see in the pictures.  Original color of the car is code 62 Burnt Orange, which you can still see on the inner and outer rocker pic that I posted.  The interior is code 777 Sandalwood interior, and the vinyl top was Code F brown originally.  The original rally sport steering wheel is present and in great shape, the dash and staple shifter trim is wood grain.  The gauge carrier tabs are broken and I have a new OER piece that goes with the car.  The past owner as I stated had it in dry storage with the windows open, as well as the hood and trunk to keep moisture out.

 

The body work is coming through where the half quarters were put on as you can see in the pictures.  The floors are original and solid, along with the rockers, front fenders, doors, hood, and radiator support are all good.  The battery tray is gone and the portion of the inner fender under the battery tray is rusted, the trunk lid has a spot in the driver side corner that is rusted as well.  The trunk pan right in the center is a little rusty and has pin holes.  The vinyl top is in good shape with no tears, the windshield and rear window do not leak and the channels are not rusted.  The windshield does have a crack and would need to be replaced, the rest of the glass is fine.

 

Lights all worked except the low beams.  The dash lights worked, and the heat blows.  This is a really really good solid platform for a quick resto, or tune it up for cruising this year as it is.  Color combo is awesome with the white interior.  All and All great chance to own a Rally Sport Camaro.

 

Besides the gauge carrier that goes with the car, and the original heads and 2bbl carb and intake manifold.  I also have a new Goodmark outer rear wheel house that I received in a load of parts.  Also a couple of brand new factory assembly manuals as well.

 

This is a New York car and comes with a Transferable Registration only as titles were not issued for car of this age here in NY.  A bill of sale will come as well.

I am away during the week and it will be hard for me to answer any questions.  Car is being sold as is and will need to be trailered home.  If you are the winning bidder email me with your phone number and I will be able to call you on Friday around 5 Eastern Standard Time.

 

Good Luck and happy bidding.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
