**Update with some prices, I'll continue to update it as I get time, but feel free to ask if you're interested. And please feel free to make me an offer.**
Also, I live north (a couple of hours north) of LA, but I get down into the basin monthly. So, if you want something and live in the area, I'll meet up with you somewhere. If you live or can meet near a Whole Foods, HMart or Trader Joes, that's even better. Trackbrackets - $140 shipped. 16" Stock wheels - $400, they have 255/50/16 BFGs on them without a lot of miles, but they've been sitting in a garage for over close to 10 years now. If the going rate for those is significantly lower and you're interested, make me an offer. If you want them shipped, you pay for it, if we meet, $30 to cover gas. The wheels are up near Sacramento, I live by LA. If you live near LA, Sacramento or somewhere along I-5/99 between them, we can make arrangements to meet at some point. Bilsteins - $100, they're used, 50,000+ miles, and been sitting on a shelf for 5+ years, but you can get them re-valved (to your specs) by Bilstein, used to be $65 per shock. You pay shipping or $20 for gas. Ring and pinion set - $50, I think I got it for $60, you pay shipping. The doors - $100 each or $125 for the pair, just because because I'll need to use my trailer to move them and the cost of gas that goes with it. They're power window/locks and have the glass, motors, controls and mirrors (which is what I bought them for). I'll take them as far as Palmdale/Lancaster (Willow Springs), Bakersfield (Buttonwillow) or Victorville. The 1 complete seat, it's tan leather, power, passenger's side, been sitting in a shed for 5+ years - you pay for the shipping or gas to get it there, it's yours. The spare motor, it's a 3.8l V6 out of a 2000 or newer Camaro, had between 10,000 and 20,000 miles on it, it's the heads down, no intake manifold. I saw the car it came out of, it was rear-ended and there was no damage to the front end of the car. The yard that had it said they started it up and ran it. - $850, I'll move it as far as I'll move the doors. As to the car, make me an offer. Shoot me a PM or a response here if you're interested. I can take pictures and e-mail them if you want. Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've been on here. I've got a 99 V6 Camaro, it's got 185,000 miles on the original motor, so I know I'm not going to get squat for it. I love the car, but I 've got a kid on the way and a Chevelle that's been sitting for 10 years that I want to get done, so I have to prioritize. The torque converter clutch doesn't lock up, I can't figure out what the problem is, the car runs and can be driven, but driving it too much risks burning up the torque converter clutch. The tranny has been fully rebuilt, mechanically, it's a 4L65, it's got aftermarket clutches and band, an aftermarket torque converter w/ the non-PWM clutch material and I have Redline racing tranny fluid, it's their Type-F fluid. Besides the TCC, it runs awesome. The engine is a stock 3.8L V6 that I've tweaked with HP Tuners. It's got the Bob Bishop Corvette brake kit, Porterfield R4S pads, custom-valved Bilsteins front and rear, after market drop springs (can't remember the name of the company now), Kenny Brown subframe connectors and strut tower brace. It's got WS6 wheels (17" aluminum) w/ 275/40/17 BFGs, the front tire are new, the rears need to be replaced. The car itself has T-tops, navy blue metallic, power seats, windows, locks, stock monsoon stereo w/ tape player, no CD player. Spare parts-wise, I've got a spare motor, a spare set of Bob Bishop's aluminum Corvette brake brackets, a set of Bilstein shocks, one complete seat, one disassembled seat (a re-cushioning project that didn't get finished), a the stock 16-inch aluminum wheels, a 3.23 ring and pinion set w/ the posi (possibly two), a pair of doors (got them for the glass). If anybody's interested in anything, let me know. I'll figure out some prices (it's been so long since I've dealt with any of this, I can't remember how much half of the stuff cost) and get them posted up later. Could somebody refresh me on what the brackets sold for? I got them in the October, 2004 GP. Thanks, John

For anybody who has been ordering parts through Van Devere in Ohio, I just found out that Dal Slabaugh has retired, and Calvin, who ran Van Devere's on-line ordering site, has also retired.
According to the guy that I talked to, they plan on shutting down the website, and are no longer going to sell parts at the wholesale +10% price. That sucks. John

As it says, a stock, or ported and polished one will also work, but I need it with the ends.
Thanks, John

I have a set of 16x8 Chrome Firebird/TA wheels, the straight spokes, not the swirlies. They have 255/50/16s on them(BFG Comp T/A's), 2 are in good shape, and 2 don't have much tread left on them.
They're sitting at my father-in-laws, taking up space, and I haven't been able to sell them. I'm not going to just give them away, but I need a (decent) adjustable tubular Panhard rod. I'm willing to trade the wheels and tires for a Panhard rod, and you pay the shipping for the rod and tires. If anyone's interested, let me know. Thanks, John

As it says, I have a 1LE 21mm rear bar, which is too much for my rear end. I'd like to trade for somebodies 19 or 17mm rear bar. PM me here, or e-mail me, streetgang52@hotmail.com.
Thanks, John |
