1986 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z28 on 2040-cars
Huntley, Illinois, United States
|
This Iroc-Z was the loaded Camaro of its time. It originally came with the 5.0 V8 (F). I believe I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car in 2002. At that time the owner had bought a BRE 383 Stroker crate motor (approx. $5,000). He started a family and had to sell so I bought it and invested a lot of money in finishing off the build. The biggest cost was installing a fully laptop tunable Accel 6.0 DFI Engine Management System. Several years ago a rod broke and I had the motor fully rebuilt. I changed careers and didn’t even pull it out (other than occasional starts) for a couple years there to save money but it only has about 2,500 miles on it since the rebuild. I am currently driving it and I baby it. I would guess it hasn’t been over 70 mph since the rebuild. New performance heads were added during the rebuild and the engine builder estimated the motor setup should make around 500 horse. Moreover, torque is really what this motor is known for. I have not dyno tested it however. I do know simply with street tires I cannot hook up the power without easing on the pedal; it can also spin the tires easy upon shifting around 50 mph. It’s an absolute monster and has the complete quality sound of a well-built muscle car from idle to cruising. As you can tell from the pictures the paint looks great. The previous owner had it repainted and you can see there are no black lines around the bottom of the car like many Irocs, and I think it looks so much sharper.
It’s a very tough decision to sell since I think of the work and money that went into making it run so strong and clean as it does now. However I’ve wanted to also experience other vehicles and can’t without money from this car. I am looking to get a 47-53 pickup and would be open to such trades.
Issues: There is minor/surface rust as seen in the pics in small areas under the hood, hatch, and inside bottom of the doors. I sprayed these with rust stop and have garaged/stored the car so the rust hasn’t really changed at all in the 12 years I’ve had it. It could easily be repaired if you wanted to spend time on it. Other minor things that are cheap fixes that I just haven’t had time to do: Needs new wire or connecter for wipers as they shut off but sometimes it takes many turns to get it, headlights take a couple times to shut off, gear selector indicator can stick and doesn’t always show what gear you are in, psgr door lock works but seems a little tired, dash is in perfect shape except one corner (see pic). Steering wheel could use a rewrap.
I will list some of the mods but there are too many to list everything. I have tons of receipts. My guess is the spending on upgrades/rebuilds alone is $20,000. I have original parts including the original red seats (faded but no tears), a/c, and extra set of T-tops that go with the car. Within last 10,000 miles rebuilt 700R4 transmission. B&M Shift kit B&M ratchet shifter TCS Torque (stall) Converter Tires-2 fronts est. 8-10,000 miles on them, 1 of the rear about 2,000 miles, the other rear unsure but still fine BRE 383 Stoker with all the bells and whistles from pistons, cam, lifters ect…. Edelbrock T.E.S Headers into 3 inch pipe, high flow cat converter, and $$$ Borla exhaust with intercooled tips Edelbrock Hi-Flo TPI Manifold 30lb. fuel injectors BMR 3 point strut tower brace Lakewood adjustable panhard bar SSM subframe connectors Aftermarket rear control trailing arms Bilstein shocks Racing bucket seats Brakes: Front -Wilwood Discs, pads, and 4 piston calipers, Back-New stock discs, pads, rotors in about the last 10,000 miles Pioneer speakers and Pioneer EQ adjustable 4X45wts CD player New black carpet (original carpet was too faded red) New window switches New head liner cover and speaker covers … $500 due immediately upon auction close. Accepted methods of payment are PayPal and cash (no personal checks). If necessary we could meet at a bank for a money order/cashier's check. The car can be picked up/driven away or shipped. You will have to arrange any shipping but I’d be happy to help with it as needed. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks for looking!

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
