I'm helping my father to sell his 1972 Chevy Camaro. He's owned it a few years, and the previous owner really couldn't tell him a whole lot about the particulars of the car. So most of what we know about it has been through bits and pieces of working on it. I think it can best be described as a race car that someone tried to convert back into a street vehicle. I'll try to be as thorough as I can with what I know.
What it is and what it has:
1972 Cheverolet Camaro. It's NOT a Z/28, one of the previous owners affixed the badges.
400 Small block bored .30 over. It's not a 350.
Dart aluminum heads (I'll try to get the serial for them)
Solid roller camshaft (unknown lift and duration)
Roller rockers
Holley 750 double pumper
Edelbrock Torker Single plane intake
MSD6AL ignition system
Accel Super Coil
12 bolt rear end
350 turbo transmission
Aluminum raditor
TRW forged/domed pistons
Accel 8.8 Plug wires
8 Gallon fuel cell mounted in the trunk
Electric fuel pump mounted in the back
Roll cage
Race bucket seats
Hurst shifter
Electric fan
Hooker super competition headers
3" exhaust dumping right in front of the back tires through glasspack mufflers
Nitrous
Fiberglass cowl hood (maybe 6")
More about the car:
A best guesstimate of the compression is that it is above 11 to 1 or higher, so no regular gas in this beast. The car has nitrous that I've never pulled the trigger on. I think it's a 150 horse shot, but I could be completely off on that and I've never looked into it. The car has the power steering disconnected and removed, so it's a bit of a bear to steer. The motor is chained to the frame. It has ladder bars and looks like it had the attachments for wheelie bars in the back. I've got a set of slicks to go with the existing wheels that go with the car. It's got a monster tach and a push button starter. We installed the aluminum radiator and a high torque starter from summit for easier cranking. The battery is mounted in the back and has a switch on the back that you can turn the car on and off with. I think we guesstimated the gearing at 4:10's, but the speedo doesn't work so we could be way off. I have no idea what the stall speed is on the converter. I think it may have had a trans brake at one time. There's a 'mystery button' on the console, along with another button on the shifter which I assume is for the nitrous. It's got the skinny tires in the front and fat in the rear. They are American racing rims, I can get the particulars on the tires if you want them.
The car is a bit of an animal, and it's only streetable in the loosest sense of the term. It needs some TLC as far as tuning goes to get things in better shape and it's beyond my skill set or time. It's set far longer than it should have but drives fine. There's some rust at the back corners of the doors and a ding in the ridge at the center of the door on the passenger's side. It would probably do better as a near turn key race car vs. someone trying to change it back to street. The back seat has been pulled and there's been some aluminum put under the carpeting. The paint isn't in bad shape but it does have some age. It's loud enough to scare animals and small children.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any additional pictures. Good Luck!

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The 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.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
