This is a nice Camaro I've owned for 3 years, but know a lot of the history of from the late 90's. To start off, it's a Type LT that is supposed to be burgundy in color, but as we can see, it's black with blue painted stripes and the pinstripe around the stripes is purple. The painted stripes run all the way down to the front and rear valances. The hood is a 6" Glasstek bolt on fiberglass hood. It was painted around 1998 and actually has held up well! There's some scratches here and there, and at one time it looks like the driver's door rubbed the front fender. The only rust is pictured and it's on the lower front valance where the license plate bracket would go. The floorboards and everything else is rock solid. I would call the body 8 out of 10 with a paint job making it a 10.

On the drivetrain...It's got a 350 in it with Dart iron heads, Comp Cams 292H Magnum cam, full roller rockers, Edelbrock air gap intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb with electric choke, MSD 6AL ignition with MSD Pro Billet distributor and MSD Super Conductor wires. It does have headers on it that goes into a Flowmaster American Thunder full system. It has one muffler longways (factory position) that has 2 pipes going into it and 2 pipes going out. It sounds great! It has a big block radiator in it, electric fans, and billet pulleys on it along with a vacuum canister so there's no lack of vacuum with the big cam.

The transmission is a 700R4 with about a 3000 stall converter in it and a B&M console MegaShifter it in. It shifts really hard and is a blast! The rear end is from a 79 Trans Am WS6 so it has the rear sway bar along with the disc brakes, so yes it does have 4 wheel disc brakes. The rear end has an Auburn Gear Pro differential and 4.11 gear ratio. It works great with the 700R4 so you're not turning real high RPMs going down the road!

The frame on this car has had frame connectors welded in along with traction bars added. All suspension bushings are polyurethane and there is a larger front sway bar. Between all of that and the 16X8 American Racing wheels, it handles great!

The interior is basically stock and was replaced in the late 90's. As you can see, it does have Auto Meter liquid-filled gauges and an Auto Meter Monster tach as well. The radio is a Kenwood CD player with 4 6X9 speakers in the rear deck and 2 4" speakers in the dash that sound great to.

All receipts that I have had for this car since I've owned it go with it...As far as what I've done to it: New fuel pump, alternator, battery, Edelbrock carb, MSD distributor, wires, spark plugs, 4 shocks, 2 tires, Kenwood CD player and front 2 speakers, new trunk and door lock cylinders, headlight, among other things.

This is a fun car that can be driven daily (I have from time to time), gets lots of compliments, and turns a ton of heads. Hard to find them nice like this!

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
