Looking for classic GM cars
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.

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-

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...

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.
