Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

About 7-8 years ago had agreed to buy one that gen. 70 I think, GS, was painted the 90's Impala SS Black cherry red. Had a ZZ502, and he had cut the hood and welded in a Turino GT hood scoop to be functional into the air cleaner. It looked "factory."

 

Well, the guy called, said he was ready to sell, maybe a week or two more before the paint was perfect (had about 10 coats, was the guys' hobby).....

 

Never called again. He was an older guy, I assume he died in those two weeks(or a former coworker who also liked the car bought it out from under me). I still had my 1969 RS at the time so I never sought out what happened for sure.

 

Wasn't nearly as upset as I was about that 89 BMW M6 that was sold on eBay a few days before the day I was to pick it up.

I did. I forgot how damned quick that thing is!

Tomorrow it's back to snowy crappy weather.

Just a couple more things and it's time to start installing to find all the other parts I need.

Finally printed a mod list to have on hand at the cruise in's. I can rarely remember more than 10 quickly.

 

At the bottom I put " If your REALLY interested, I might accept your offer" in case I find another muscle-car-fangirl with a rich daddy like I did with my former Camaro. [emoji38]

Lol, anyone read the C&D article about the 6th gen reveal a few days ago? They say bet on the Camaro to have around 400 HP since the Vette has 460. Yeah, a downgrade to 400 makes sense. [emoji23] Guess they never pay attention to their own stats pages.

 

Or, ya know, the ZL1.

400 HP is so 2011.

Bought her a new Air Filter :) but it will be at-least another month before she sees the light of day with all the snow we still have :(

Even with 460 it's not like it would touch a Vette. Sometimes GM needs to just get over themselves. They could advertise it as 459.9 if it made them feel better.

In a couple years GM will release a 6th gen LT2 with 500 HP then the LT3 with 520 and the camaro will keep the LT1

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
