This all numbers matching Z28 COPO has been certified by Jerry MacNeish as one of less than 8 known to exist with
all original build sheet to prove authenticity (see pics below). Many claim to have the rare COPO 9796 option but
without original buildsheet or window sticker (as seen here) it's simply hearsay. This Z28 COPO Special Race
Spoiler package for the 1970 Camaro was designed to allow Chevrolet to continue to dominate the SCCA Trans-Am Race
Series. After testing the standard issue D80 short spoiler showed significant lift at speeds in excess of 120MPH.
The new COPO 9796 high spoiler helped down force at higher speeds and was a significant improvement in the areas of
stability and cornering traction in SCCA Trans-Am racing series. In order to comply with SCCA race rules, a limited
number of these cars were built in late April 1970, and starting in June, also included the front spoiler as part
of this package. As shown on the buildsheet and documented by MacNeish, this car was built in late June of 1970.
This example originally finished in Mulsanne Blue, with the optional deluxe blue interior. This COPO Z also retains
its original "born with" LT1, TH400 automatic transmission and 3.73 posi rear. The list of options from the factory
per the buildsheet and MacNeish is as follows:
*Very rare and true Z28 COPO example.
COPO 9796
U80 Rear Speaker
U76 windshield Antenna
U63 AM radio
U35 Electric clock
U27 Glove box lock
U14 IP Gauges

D35 L and R side mirrors
B42 Luggage comp mat
A01 Tinted Glass
AS1 Standard front horn
M40 Special 3-speed automatic transmission
J52 Disc Brakes
Z87 Deluxe Interior, blue with black comfort weave
G80 Positraction, 3.73 ratio
F41 Special Performance Suspension
D80 Spoiler equipment, superceded by COPO 9796AA three piece spoiler (Includes front spoiler equipment as well)
Z28 Special Engine and equipment
Since MacNeish authenticated this car nearly a decade ago, we've done a lot to get it to the next level, we painted
the car in it's original mulsanne blue with black stripes per build sheet, along with redoing the interior with the
rare correct comfort weave blue with black deluxe interior (sourced the last of the original fabric). We
refurbished the wheels and added the original bias-ply F-60 Firestone wide ovals. This is a rust free car with all
original sheet metal still on the car. The engine has never been out of the car and since she runs amazing as is,
we've opted to keep much of the engine bay original at this time, though as you can see in the pictures, is very
presentable as is. This past summer, we were pleased to have her accepted to the prestigious Hillsborough Concours
D'elegance where the COPO Z placed 3rd in class! (5 point deduction for no fire extinguisher in car, otherwise we
would've placed 2nd or perhaps 1st!)

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
