Condition

The camaro was stripped down to its components parts and taken to Metal Finishing Services in Jackson, MS where all body and frame parts were dipped to
remove ALL rust and then e-coated. There is no hidden rust on this vehicle. This service alone costs $4,000.

All body panels are in very good shape except for the shell. The shell needs extensive work to be ready for painting. Mainly replacement sections of
the floor pan, trunk bottom, and around the back glass. The shell has also had replacement rear quarterpanels previously installed. The induction hood has a
small raised 1/4 ” section that will need to be smoothed out. Please note that the shell does not have a trim tag.

The frame was also stripped and e-coated. It is in excellent condition.

The cast steel control arms need recoating but are otherwise in good shape, but the rest of the suspension components will probably need replacing. I do have
the tie rods, and probably the rear leaf springs if desired.

The dash and console pieces are all intact, but I am unsure if they are functioning. This includes AC controls and dash instruments.

The front and rear seats are dusty but upholstered without cuts.

The door innards (cranks and such) are all there, including the door knobs and locks.

The rear axle assembly and driveshaft will need to be sandblasted and recoated.

Additional pictures are available upon request. Keep in mind all body pieces except for the shell are wrapped in adhesive backed bubble wrap which would have
to be destroyed, which I am hesitant to do outside of a serious offer on the vehicle.

You will want to bring a big trailer to pick this up. It's about 3 crates full of stuff plus the frame, shell, and all body panels.

Payment:

Reserve is $4,000 firm. $500 paypal deposit within 48 hours. This is non-refundable.  If the deposit is not placed, I will contact the next buyer in line.  Serious buyers ONLY. It is not my fault if you didn’t read or request additional pictures. The remaining payment is to be made in full at time of pickup.

No trades.

Additional pictures can be found at the link below. They are BIG, about 5 MB per. It's a sampling of the major components in the 3 crates o' stuff.


Here you can see pictures of:

Front grill
windshield wipers
glove box
various hood / door hinges.
headers
seats front and back
front and rear light covers
steering column
Hardware labeled in zip lock bags
Radiator support bracket
brake mounting bracket + brake
Rear axle assembly + housing + drum brakes
Shocks & mounts
Gas tank
Rear leaf springs & mounting brackets
Front control arms upper and lower
Knuckles that went with them.
As you can see they are in various states of condition. If you want more pictures, just send me a message and I'll get more detail for you.

Edit. The rear spoiler was not e-coated as I believe it's made out of some kind of fiberglass?

To re-iterate and answer a few questions I've received from my previous auction ...

The body panels and frame were submerged and e-coated. This is not similar to media blasting. This is much more in-depth and expensive; Simply, it doesn't
get any better. Taken from Metal Finishing Service's website:

Metal Finishing Services uses non-destructive thermal and chemical processes to remove paint or other coatings from metal surfaces. We can handle parts
ranging in size from small fasteners to 10 tons and 20' long. Customers include manufactures, equipment rebuilders, engine overhaul shops, antique car
restorers, contractors and many others.
For manufacures, we strip paint line rejects, racks and hangers

Rust Removal Services

Metal Finishing Service uses a non-destructive alkaline electro-chemical derusting process. No metal loss or hydrogen embrittlement results, unlike processes
using acids or abrasive cleaning. Parts up to 20' feet long and 10 tons can be handled.
For manufacturers, parts rejected by quality control due to rust are derusted.
For engine overhaul shops and equipment rebuilders rust can be removed from both exposed areas and internal passages such as water jackets and heat
exchangers.
We are able to derust badly rusted sheet metal parts for car restorers without causing further damage. We even do work for museums.
Electrocoating Services
Metal Finishing Services provides electrocoating (E-Coating) on parts as a primer. This is an immersion process where parts are placed in a bath and an
electrical voltage is used to attract the paint to all areas of a part, including inaccessible areas such as the inside of pipes. A black cathodic epoxy coating is
used which is identical to the process used by most auto manufacturers. Prior to E-coating a zinc phosphate coating is applied
E-Coating is compatible with any finish coat, including powder coatings or solvent based paints. It provides superior corrosion protection , especially when
followed by a powder coat topcoat.
Typical applications include auto bodies , frames and misc. parts, outdoor furniture, oilfield equipment , marine applications and any thing requiring superior
corrosion resistance.
E-coating services are provided for manufacturers, auto restorers, equipment rebuilders and others.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

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.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
