1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd on 2040-cars
Tinley Park, Illinois, United States
|
1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd, 75,927 miles, red with black interior. 350, close-ratio 4spd, 3:73 rear-axle ratio. The original owner had kept the vehicle until 1998 before selling to the gentleman that I purchased it from. The car is absolutely 100% rust-free with all it's original metal and paint/decals. All numbers-matching. The interior is 100% original and in excellent condition right down to the Delco AM/FM cassette radio and GM floor mats. There have never been any added tachs, gauges, etc. ever. I have documentation including the build sheet, owner's manual, sales agreement, tire/battery warranty, etc. This has been an adult-owned, well cared for Z28. The previous owner had a very high-dollar custom 406 small-block professionally built by "A&R Racing" in Virginia. He had removed the perfect-running 350 and preserved it. The engine swap, Griffen radiator, aluminum drive shaft, full flowmaster 3 in. exhaust, and Competition Engineering "slide-a-link" traction product have been the only modifications to the car. Everything had been very tastefully done purely for improved driveability and performance deserving of the Z28 name. The previous owner bought the car to drive and felt that the car was too sharp looking to have a low horsepower 350 under the hood. Therefore, he upgraded the engine rather than take away from the originality of the 350 by adding bolt-ons. The original 350 would just need to be cleaned/detailed and would be ready to reinstall, if so desired. The car can be easily returned back to it's original state quickly, right down to the original drive shaft and factory exhaust with the pancake-style catalytic converter which are also included with the car. I had also taken it upon myself to add color-keyed Z28 wheels to enhance the appearance. I have also saved the factory gold Z28 wheels which I will also include. The last picture shows the car with the original gold Z28 wheels. I have seen many F-bodies of this generation and can honestly say with 100% confidence that this is one of the nicest all-original cars I've seen. As stated above, there have been NO wrecks, NO rust, and the body is 100% original with every panel it left the assembly plant with. The doors do not sag (as typical on most F-bodies of this generation) and open and close beautifully (original hinges...see pictures).
Here are some specs on the $10k 406 engine by A&R; The engine makes a very honest 510-hp and 490 ft-lbs of torque @6800 rpm. The engine has only the best components; custom solid camshaft, internally balanced forged callies 4340 crankshaft, 4340 forged 6" rods with floated pins, custom forged 10.5:1 flat-top pistons with ultra-lite pins...the list goes on. Many hours were spent on the Canfield aluminum cylinder heads and the Team-G intake manifold topped with a blueprinted Holley from the Carb Shop in California. The radiator is a Griffen custom-fit "use your original GM top support" radiator with two rows of 1.25 intubing that allows the engine to maintain 160 degrees. Everything has been done in as close to factory manor as possible right down to the 3" custom-bent flowmaster exhaust. NOTHING on this car was disturbed or hacked whatsoever ! This is a true collector car with documentation, all original parts included, and is fun to drive. Please feel free to ask any questions before placing a bid. I strongly encourage any interested parties to inspect the vehicle in person. Please contact me with ANY questions. A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of auction end and balance due at pickup which shall be 7 days after auction end. I have a clear title in-hand and neither the vehicle nor the title will be released until final payment/funds have cleared. I do not have the means to deliver the vehicle, therefore the buyer is solely responsible for any/all costs and arrangements. Please contact me with ANY questions before placing a bid as any miscommunications can be costly and time-consuming for all parties involved. I will reply as promptly as possible to any inquiries. Vehicle being sold AS-IS with no warranties of any kind, express or implied. Thank you for looking.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
