26. Engine has had some work done to it - it seems to have a cam - I do not know the details of the cam though - I have had the car to some LT1 experts - they say yes it has a cam - but that is about it
27. Leather interior - power driver's seat
28. Title in hand - no title issues
Things that I think should be done -- to complete car -- right now the car is an inspected, good looking, great driver -- these items will just make the whole car a bit better:
1. Driver side exhaust manifold is leaking -- ticking sound -- needs new gasket
2. Exhaust system has several small leaks in it where the different pipes come together -- need patched or just refitted
3. Redo suspension -- new springs & struts,-- priced at Summit racing less than $200.00 for parts
Part number Description qty
M09-cc635 Rear coil spring pair 1
M09-60114 Front coil spring 1
M09-K6573 Bearing Plate 2
MON-904962 Suspension strut mount 2
4. there is a "check engine" code showing -- due to lack of back pressure on exhaust - Install catalytic converter on car
5. Replace rotors & brakes -- I have new rotors & brakes for all four corners ($375.00) just have not installed them yet
6. Power antenna needs to be replaced - Ebay under $50 -
Other known issues:
1. When the car is under extreme load -- very high RPM's the engine will bog down -- seems like a miss -- since I do not normally push the car to this extreme it is not a priority on the "to-do" list -- this is one of the reasons I purchased the Jet 14005 to mess around with -- just have not got to that part of the process yet
2. The steering wheel controls on the right side of the wheel - controls the radio - the controls work fine, but do not light up at night
