Note on motor as I have verified, and have Chevy Master Mechanics confirm  to my own satisfaction only:

Stamped :   T 121 P 

Casting number: 3932388  4 Bolt Main

 

The casting number 3932388 is rare because not many cars much less Camaro's got this block casting number that are known. The book Chevrolet By the Numbers 1965-69 says this engine was put in 1969 passenger cars and Camaro's. Their notes say this: 
"Very little is known about this block. It seems that most blocks were Tonawanda cast and built, but some Norwood assembled Z28's used this block with Flint-produced engines. From all indications the block is identical to #3932386. It has been found in Passenger cars with the 350/300hp engine suffix code stamping. At least four SS 350 and at least two Z28 Camaros were built with this block, with casting dates ranging from L 20 8 to C 11 9. At least one Camaro was built it September 1969 with this block. Other cars could have received this rare block, but it is unknown which or why. Most #3932388 blocks are dated from September to December 1968."

Some History: California  Custom Camaro Car builder's personal "driver"  -  READ:  THIS Chevy IS A DRIVER not a concours all original museum show piece - leave your tire kickers and magnets at home.  Previous Owner did all the mods, interior  and paint himself and DROVE IT DAILY til I found it up for sale in storage in CA where I spent a year and thousands of dollars more on it so it could be driven daily once again and with COLD A/C.  This is a unique car with most every chrome piece, body trim, interior trim still on it and not having to hunt for parts, and being able to get on the LA express at +90mph was the main reason I own it now.  I also enjoy that it's a "sleeper" -  looks stock but it's not. 


The Fine Print:  This vehicle was fully prepped to drive home from Malibu to Phoenix some seven years ago; it did not leak one drop of fluids anywhere at anytime on the road and for many years thereafter.  Do to idleness it will need more attention to seals and both the speedometer and/or cruise control do not appear to function any longer .  There are no known defects beyond what is stated here and  I do not offer any express warranty nor do I imply there is one: This is an old-school Chevy that can always use attention and something new or replaced. I do not know the actual mileage my title (CA Salvage) shows 89,832 miles when I bought it in 2007, it is possible I added between 5,000 and 10,000 miles total.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

GM alerting truck and sedan owners to a do-over on brake recall

Wed, Jan 29 2020

A recall campaign intended to address issues with braking systems on certain 2019 General Motors trucks and sedans may have introduced a new issue, the automaker has acknowledged, and thousands of owners driving repaired vehicles may need to return to their service departments for another update.  The update addresses a fix that was pushed out to owners of more than half a million brand-new GM trucks and sedans that could potentially lose partial braking function, according to the Detroit Free Press. The original software fix helped address situations where the vehicles' anti-lock braking systems would become disabled, which in turn would prevent electronic stability control from activating. Vehicles subject to the recall would often experience software glitches that prevented them from properly communicating the operational state of these systems, meaning drivers would have no idea that their brakes may not behave as expected in an emergency. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 were all recalled in the original campaign.  Unfortunately, the early version of this fix appears to have introduced yet another software glitch, indicating that the original fix did not do the trick. Those who have not yet had their cars serviced can rest easy; they will only receive the most up-to-date version of the software fix.  Related video
