Hey guys, I know some of you know I write for GMInsidenews.com, and I review new GM vehicles. I wanted to change up and maybe review a classic GM vehicle, so if you guys have one, or know someone who has one, please shoot me a PM.
I am looking for, right now, unmodified cars that have been kept up for review.

The Saturn might not be a bad idea....
Any model, any year, as long as it is a GM product, dead or alive brand.

Remember that I will be driving the car, so if you or whoever is not down with the idea of someone else driving the car, then we won't review it.

4 people at a lil car met were familiar with the car today... they even got the story right!

Oh, that well eliminate most classic cars.

So given these are articles written for a new GM vehicle fan boy site, are these articles destined to just show how much ' better' new cars are-

Squirrel

What about a 90 454 SS pickup, big system, exhaust, and bore... get it running and you can gladly drive it haha

It wont be a comparison article, but more of a "remember when" historic article, and any comparisons made with a vehicle that it might be linked to that is currently on sale.

Do you not have a classic GM car in your driveway?

Do some comparisons of that driving to say the new barge GM released under the guise of a "camaro".

Tough to do that when the car has had a massive powertrain upgrade, but I did think of something like that, hopefully sometime in the spring of 2012. We will cross that bridge when we get there though...

LTb1ow

Wheres that confounded bridge?

He may find an owner who would let him drive the car, but if it's a valuable classic the owner would be in the passenger seat telling him what to do the whole time.

I honestly can't think of anybody who is still stock enough to qualify. Most people ditched the points ignition, bias ply tires, and stuff like that.

BigAls87Z28

07-28-2011, 10:40 PM

I'm not looking for super-stock.

07-28-2011, 10:47 PM

You can drive my LT1 car if I can give your eulogy.

Blacdout96

I'm not looking for super-stock.

How about my Camaro. Stock internal V6 engine, upgraded suspension, stock interior. It's a V6, so it's not super at all, but isn't stock either :lol:

my dad has a 65 vette, 327 4 speed muncie just has a cam and some head work, im not too sure if he would be up for it but it would be worth it to ask, not original paint but he painted it when he was 18 so it was close to original lol

Bringing it back up. I know there are a few Grand National owners out there. Anyone with a stock appearing GN out there want to take pictures this Sunday?

sweetbmxrider

11-10-2011, 05:55 PM

I have a pretty stock 95 camaro, does that help?

LTb1ow

11-10-2011, 06:00 PM

I don't have any Grand Nationals, but I do have the pink slip to a 1995 Z28!

I have a 41k mile 1956 Olds and another 56 coming to the shop next week if you are interested. same colors too.

Thanks TA, will let you know.
Again, anyone with a Grand National that is available this weekend, let me know.

pm RAIST he has a really nice one.

Hi, just getting to this. I need to know what the review will be. I know where a stock GN is, but it has been asleep for a while and will be cranky like his owner :)

so you want to drive a classic. What does that mean? around the block, the whole weekend, take it home for a while, take it on a track? And how stock do you need it to be, mine has a modern 4 speed auto and a some chassis tweaks, all hidden of course.

I read GMinside news all the time...

Oh yea, if you bring over a new Camaro convert with a manual, that would help :D

BigAls87Z28

11-11-2011, 08:58 PM

It wouldn't be for driving, though that would be cool. I am driving the Buick Regal GS this week, and wanted to snap a few shots with a GN for a closing shot.

KevinW

11-11-2011, 09:52 PM

I can ask. we are about 45 min from you. He has a regal too.

PaceCarNut

11-12-2011, 03:42 AM

I have 4 that would qualify for what you are looking for.

'69 Z-10 Camaro RS/SS 350/300 Turbo 350
'87 Buick GN Hardtop
'87 Buick Turbo T T-Type Hardtop
'90 IROC Camaro Convertible

The '87 el Camino has a modified drivetrain, otherwise stock with S-10 Extreme wheels.

When you planning to do this?

I am fine with you driving them, just have to come over and help wash them first! :-)
