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 Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Chevrolet Camaro in Korea - Click above for high-resolution image
There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
