Up for bid is my 1981 Chevy Camaro. This is a very nice car, both in and out! It’s plenty nice to pull into your local car show, pop the hood, and be proud! I’ve put a lot of money and time into this car, especially the past year. It’s what I consider to be a very nice weekend driver. Car gets all kinds of compliments every time out. This is a NO RESERVE auction! Car will be sold to the highest bidder! Be sure to check out the 70 plus photos and video! ***Please do not bid unless you have the cash, and are prepared to purchase the car for your bid amount.*** Body & Paint Car has a nice paint job that is just a little over 3 years old. It is a PPG base/clear coat paint job. There are no bubbles, dents, or bad blemishes. Each rocker panel has a run in the clear coat under the rear door jamb corner. Not noticeable unless you're down there. Being a few years old, there are a few rock chips and a couple light scratches, but they are minor. Overall it's a very nice and straight paint job. Just take a look at the pictures, and I think you’ll be impressed. There currently are no rust issues with the car. Before paint, it had one rocker panel replaced and the other rocker had a section replaced. The driver side rear quarter panel was replaced. There were a couple bad spots in the floor that were cut out and a patch welded in. Mainly the passenger side toe board. The lower rear tail pan under the bumper was also worked on. Any problem areas were replaced with new steel, not bondo! Frame rails, trunk, etc. are all nice and solid. Car has frame ties that are bolted on. All window and t-top trim has been blacked out. I rebuilt the door hinges. The windshield is new. Car has a steel cowl hood. Very nice tail lights that are hard to find in good shape. Z28 fender flares, spoilers, fender vents, and emblems. Suspension, Brakes, & Wheels I stripped down and detailed the front subframe and suspension. Front suspension was all gone through and rebuilt. I used all stock type replacements except for the coil springs. Those are Moog 5608 which dropped the front end just a little. Body/subframe bushings are polyurethane. The rear suspension is all original other than new shocks. Brakes were all gone through. New steel lines up front and to the rear axle. New rotors, bearings, pads, hoses, rebuilt master cyl, rebuilt calipers, etc. Wheels were media blasted and refinished. They have new trim rings, center caps, and lug nuts. Tires are brand new B.F. Goodrich Radial TA’s. 255/60r15 in the rear and 235/60r15 up front. Interior Whole interior has been gone through. I refurbished the dash and gauge bezel. Seats have new upholstery and seat buns. Door panels, carpet, and some of the t-top trim is new. Window felts are new and the weather stripping is in good shape. The headliner was recovered. All gauges are working. The original clock was removed and an oil pressure gauge put in its place. There’s a modern CD stereo installed. Engine - Drivetrain - Exhaust The engine is a 350. I was told by the previous owner that it had been rebuilt. I tore it down to the short block, and all looked good. I used the short block as is, and added all of the following new parts… GM Performance Vortec Heads (milled .045" to bump up compression a little) Edelbrock RPM Vortec intake Edelbrock 600cfm carb (manual choke) Elgin cam 224/234 @.50, 465/488 lift, 112lc Howards lifters, pushrods, valve springs GM self aligning rockers Pertronix Flame Thrower HEI distributor Water pump Aluminum radiator Chrome 100 amp alternator Chrome fuel pump Chrome pulleys, valve covers, etc. Everything is new except for the short block. Compression is calculated to be about 9.8 to 1. Engine runs great. No leaks. It has less than 20 miles on it since I've gone through it! Transmission is a th350 with a 2000-2200 stall converter. Rear end is a 10 bolt posi with 3:42 gears. New Ceramic headers into Pypes Performance 2.5” stainless steel x-pipe exhaust. Flowmaster mufflers dumped at the rear axle.
