AUTOGUY Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) In the process of updating some things on the car. I am thinking about the American Racing Torque Thrust II's in 17", then some paint, a new top, Gears and trans Re-build with Stall converter. I have owned this car for almost 24 years. I have a pile of new GM parts for it including a Super Sport "Domed" hood and all Chrome trim in the wrappers. Going for the Look and stance of the Black car. Just bought this on ebay too...

Silverado55 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 thats an awesome car. do you plan on leaving it that color? i imagine you do, but man, the black chevelle is awful hot. i've always been a fan of them, although i'd prefer a first gen camaro over pretty much any other. it wasnt until 1970 that chevy started to mess up the amazing body styling. sorry, a little foff track, but anywho, awesome car. i imagine it'll look even nicer when finished, although it looks amazing. be sure to keep us updated.

AUTOGUY Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) The car will be re-painted the same color. It is the original color and the engine, trans and rear are all numbers matching, so they will not be changed either.

packjh Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Cool car, looks like the motor is the only thing that looks in GREAT condition, i would still love to have it.

SS Silv Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Cool looking car. I think I bigger wheel would look sweet. at least an 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum 1 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 She's gorgeous IMO those wheels are a little too deep-dish for a muscle car but it's not about me and I'd still drool at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car is all original except for a re-paint and I swapped the Bench seat for the Buckets and console. The Chrome is all original as well. How can you think that the engine is the ONLY thing in Great Condition for a 35 year old car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 That is a cool car Autoguy - have you modified the suspension any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) That is a cool car Autoguy - have you modified the suspension any? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Added Rear SS sway Bar, Gas Shocks and upgraded the front Swaybar with a WS6 Trans Am 1 1/4" with Poly Bushings. This was all done about 18-20 years ago. I just got motivated to get it in better shape than it has been so I spent some time today doing the rear seat, a New GM OEM NOS Grill and Grill Emblem, and will be installing the hood a bit later today. My goal is to have it painted, new top, rebuilt trans, rear gears and wheels and tires by next Spring/Summer as time and cash allows. I actually have new tires ordered for it. 275/60/15 and 245/60/15 BFG Radial T/A's. I also have a set of Am Rac. TTO Original Torque Thrust Wheels for these tires to go on, but I had a hard time finding the front 15x7's. The rear 15 x 8's are mounted and balanced, and I found a set of 15x7's at Summit Racing. Hopefully they will be here this week. I was going to go with the 17" Torque Thrust II's, but I think the TTO's look better for this type or car. It gives it a Yenko type look. Anyone care to photoshop the wheels on the gold car onto mine for me? Edited July 30, 2006 by AUTOGUY (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
