What we have here is a 1968 Z28 Camaro. This car is a documented Protection Plate car from the dealership. The car has gone through a complete rotisserie restoration. Every single wire to lightbulb, to bushing, to nut and bolt....this car has been completely dismantled, restored and meticulously put back together with complete detail and care. The car has a numbers matching drive train except the engine which was found close to the correct date code. Original MO Zapper block which was standard and rebuilt with all Z28 correct components like ..standard 1178 crankshaft...standard 30/30 camshaft, lifters, rockers, balancer, windage tray excetra. Factory Original.... everything in this car to the throttle spring is the way it came off the assembly line. The car is literally not broken into as it was driven only couple hundred miles. Every mechanical part of the car was fined tuned from the point you turn the key. From the Holley DZ original carburetor, to the timing of the engine, to the temperature .... all mechanical components compliment each other when driving. This machine was in the care of a mechanic from the 60's era before it came home. If I would compare driving this car to a musical instrument I would say a flute....Sounds so smooth. The car has no flaws. There is not a scratch, chip, or mark on the paint. The body lines and gaps are like factory. The factory original paint of Seafrost Green is a rare color and has the houndstooth seats which have also been refoamed and upholstered. This car is equiped with a restored AM/FM radio, center console, tic tac toc, power steering, power disc brakes which are all factory original. Even the brake booster and master cylinder were restored to retain the numbers on the booster which state a true Z28. This car was restored with the dynamat coat underneath the carpet to provide the sound barrier of driving. And I say, you can barely hear the car when you drive it. It is equipped with the original reproduction exhaust as well. The wheels on the car are original Z28 wheels. They are also restored with GM stamps and DF stamps on them. There is one spare rim matching the other five wheels that come with the car. The transmission is restored and is an M22 Rock Crusher transmission. The GM Z28 emblems are real and not knock off ones.. These are super rare and they are brand new and not repops...The rear end is the original posi traction BU Code 3:73 rear end with all original GM gears.. All seals have been replaced. There is no leaks anywhere. This car still retains its original glove box tire decal which also describes its status as a True Z28. This car also came with the delux steering wheel which also has been restored. Front power disc brakes with all lines....basically the whole brake system, fuel system is brand new. All suspension is brand new...Everything ..like I said....nut and bolt... ALL NEW....I installed a secondary mechanical temp gauge which will read temp contantly at 180F. This car is definately a beautiful car. They never called these cars the mighty mouse of the 60's for no reason. The car is currently in a heated container stored right now. You will not find a nicer turn key, everything works, completely restored 1968 Camaro anywhere ...Bonus ...ITS A REAL DOCUMENTED Z28 ....For my US friends. The car came from Wisconsin and I am currently the third owner. I can do all the paperwork at the border without you being there. It will leave from Blaine, Washington State. Car must obviously be shipped in an enclosed truck where I can meet the driver for pickup at the border... I will pay the 500 border fee and have all the paperwork ready for you when the car arrives to its new home. It will be made easy so you may take it to your DMV, Isure, and title it to your state. Please read and look at the pictures... All photo and receipt documentation is included with the car. Have this beauty just in time for the summer. Super low reserve for the value of this car. Tens of thousands spent on restoration for problem free turn key car. This car is a real gem ... Goodluck.

Had a question about the protection booklet. Those are photo copies in the picture. The real book is stored in our bank's safety deposit box. And yes it will go along with the car. And yes, the reserve is below 50 !

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
