1988 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z28 Race Show Car on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:200 Color: The car was completely disassembled around
Location:

La Grange, Illinois, United States

La Grange, Illinois, United States

 I have owned this car for 15 of the last 19 years.  It started out as a pristine low mileage IROC-Z 5.7L and was transformed into the beast she is today.  OK, where to start.

Exterior:
The car was completely disassembled around 10 years ago, shaved and smoothed out all emblems and logos.  Paint is a deep base coat black with about four coats of clear.  Paint shows very well but for a true show car i would say she needs a fresh coat as it is 10 years old now.  But dont get me wrong, it may not be perfect but its still a deep gloss, zero rust, awesome looking car that gets a ton of attention.  Shaved handles open with remotes and theres an emergency pop in the well just in case.  6" fiberglass cowl hood just clears all the goodies underneath.  Chrome 18" perfect rims by Stern performance are wrapped in 255/40 Toyo Proxes up front and 265/40 Mickey Thompson drag radials out back.  All lights and signals function as they should, except no fog lights for better air flow.  Limo tints all around.

Interior:
New black carpet front and back, new head liner and visors.  No rear seats, front Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses.  6 point welded in roll cage with removeable side bars make it a ton easier to get in and out(drivers side door handle will not clear the side bar when it is installed).  Autometer gauges throughout and everything works as it should, all the way down to the speedo and fuel level.  Hurst pro shifter.  Power windows and hatch all function properly.  Factory fuel tank has welded in sump pickup and fills from inside hatch(fuel cap is hard to get open sometimes and needs a caress from a screwdriver, would suggest replacing but never got around to draining tank).  Pioneer stereo with Pheonix gold speaker front and rear and Q logic kick panels.  No A/C or heat, no surprise.

Engine and Drivetrain:
Motor is a built LS7 big block, all forged internals, studded, ported and polished Merlin heads with stud girdles, Holley carb, MSD igniton setup, Edelbrock nitrous plate sytem never used, purge in front of hood, jet hot coated hooker full length headers down to true dual exhaust out the back, Willwood brakes, pistons, and calipers all around, master cylinder works off the power steering pump pressure to make up for loss of vacuum, yes it still has power steering for ease of cruising, built TH400 reverse manual w/brake, 5000 stall convertor, line-lock, B&M deep pan, trans cooler, Moser 9" rear end, Detroit locker with 4:10 gears, 33 spline axles, racing shocks and struts, lowering springs, Spohn trans cradle with driveshaft loop, Spohn rear end drag link, willwood adjustable control arms and sway bar, Aeromotive A100 fuel pump and filters, aluminum racing radiator cars temp always around 160, digital trans temp gauge by shifter, I'm sure im missing a lot feel free to ask questions.

This car is a beast, drives straight and smooth, however due its extreme build is bein sold as-is.  This isnt your average garage build where they throw in a huge motor and run it to the track. This car has all its bases covered, wasnt hacked to pieces, gets a ton of looks, and is a blast to drive around the neighborhood and the car shows.  Shipping is solely the responsibility of the buyer, I will drive it on to a trailer and thats about it.  Let me know if you need more pics or specific pics.  Thanks for looking.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
