1981 Chevrolet Camaro, Z28, T-tops, 350 Ci Motor on 2040-cars
Dawsonville, Georgia, United States
This is a 1981 Chevrolet Camaro with the factory Z28 Option. 1981 was the last year body style for the second generation "F Bodies". This car is in very good to excellent condition physically and mechanically. The car has spent the vast majority of its last 33 years in Georgia. I have personally inspected the floor pans and trunk pan and they are in excellent condition. This is a really solid rust free car that I drive on weekends when the weather permits. Listed below is a summary of the car's current condition: Paint and Body: The car was repainted red in the past few years, originally is was a brown car. It looks excellent but is not a show quality paint job. I would score it an 8 on a 10 point scale. The body on the car is rock solid. I have a car fax that I found in the car from 2008 which shows no reported accidents or damage. All of the window glass is factory original and marked Soft Ray. I have inspected the frame on a lift and do not see anything unusual. The car was reported with 51,775 miles in 2008 and has 56,836 today. I have no way of knowing the true mileage as the title was marked exempt by GA many years ago. This car spent most of its life in Albany, GA and has no rust in the floors or trunk. The trunk has not been splatter painted and we can pull the interior carpet for inspection should you wish. There is nothing to hide with this car from that perspective. All of the factory decals are in place and the car is certainly a high end driver as it stands today. The wheels are the factory option N90 alloy wheels and they are in excellent condition. They have all 4 center caps and the original black alloy lug nuts. There is a matching set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires in size 245/60/15 that are in excellent condition. Interior: I have just replaced the carpet. The dash has two cracks that I have filled rather than installing a dash cap. It is not an unsightly crack and filled pretty well. The original seats are in good condition, however, there is a split in the drivers seat base. Rear seats are in excellent condition. The car is equipped with a custom sound system which includes a period correct Alpine cassette player with new Rockford Fosgate speakers. All of the gauges work with the exception of the clock. All of the lights (dome, courtesy, trunk) work. The cigarette lighter works. The seat belt buzzer works. This car has not been disassembled as most have and everything is there and works as it should as I have found. If I were going to replace anything in the interior it would be the door panels and the weather seals at the door. They look good but are not perfect with imperfections from age. The headliner and trim are in good condition and it is all there. Engine and Mechanicals: The engine is the numbers matching 350ci motor and I have matched the last 6 digits to the VIN. I have felt above the gas tank and can state that the build sheet is still there and available to the next owner. I have looked the motor over and all of the factory connections and parts are still there. It still has it original Rochester carburetor and has not been modified. The A/C will work but needs to be recharged. I have just replaced the entire exhaust system with a stainless dual Flow Master set up which set me back almost $600. All of the fluids have been recently changed and the motor runs and idles flawlessly. I also changed out the spark plugs and air filter this past weekend. This car sits in my garage and does not leak oil or transmission fluid to speak of. I have not invested any time making the motor look pretty. It is all there and original to the best of my knowledge and sounds and runs great. This is an area where the next owner can take the car to the next level. The engine bay needs to be detailed but there is no rust to deal with (including the core support, it is solid). All of the lights and signals work, the horn works, the wipers work. The power windows work. The power door locks work sometimes (actuators are weak). The engine idles at 600 rpm with a great loping sound, it runs great and the transmission shifts as it should. There is no smoke or smells coming from the engine bay or exhaust. The car is also equipped with air shocks on the rear. If you take the time to check my feedback you will see that every couple of years I sell a car. All of my feedback has been positive. If you have questions, please ask. I am selling this car to purchase a new Jeep Liberty for my daughter for her high school graduation. Other than that, the car can sit right where it is sitting today. I have a clear title in my name along with odds and ends like the 81 dealership brochure and original magazine articles on the car. My buy it now is set at $11,250. A couple of weeks ago a similar car was bid up to $13,400 but did not meet reserve. Haggerty estimates the value of the car at $14,000 for a #3 car. The values on the 2nd generation "F Bodies" continue to rise and solid cars are hard to find. If you have read this far....thank you for your interest. If you need additional photos or have any questions please contact me through ebay. |

Chevy's latest Silverado videos assume we're idiots
Mon, Jul 6 2015UPDATE: This article has been revised to reflect that any mention of materials used in a future Chevrolet Silverado is speculation. Can we have a sound, rational debate about the merits of aluminum versus steel? According to Chevrolet's latest marketing videos pitting the Silverado against the Ford F-150, the answer is no. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of course, this will all be a hilarious joke when an aluminum-bodied Silverado comes in 2018. That's an if, as a member of the General Motor public relations team has reminded me that any articles regarding future product are pure speculation. Until then Chevy needs to sell the current Silverado, with its body comprised chiefly of steel, against the Ford F-150's lightweight aluminum panels. Instead of touting the merits of the "most-dependable, longest lasting pickup," the strategy seems to center around negative propaganda towards the 13th element. The tone of all three ads is almost Orwellian: steel good, aluminum bad. Of the three videos, the most fair is Silverado vs. F-150 Repair Costs and Time: Howie Long Head to Head. Basically: aluminum costs more than steel, it's more difficult to repair, and requires special equipment for body shops. In terms of Chevy versus Ford, the blue oval truck costs more and takes longer to repair - an average of $1,755 more and 34 more days in the shop, according to the ad. But why stop there when you can have pitchman Howie Long raising an eyebrow at random facts? When Silverado Chief Engineer Eric Stanczak says of the Ford, "It's manufactured in a way that combines aluminum, rivets, and adhesive in a process that's different than Silverado." Long responds, "Huh. Interesting." At the end of the video, Long says "I'd be interested to know what happens to insurance costs." Note he's not saying anything substantive. If Chevy's legal team could sign off on some facts about insurance rates, it would be in this ad. On our Autoblog Cost to Own calculator, there is no significant difference in projected insurance costs between the two trucks. But at least that ad has facts. The other two videos are pure hype. In Cages: High Stength Steel, real people are asked what they think of aluminum and steel in a room with two cages. Then a bear is released into the room, and the subjects scurry to the safety of the steel cage.
Hillary Clinton takes to campaign trail in a van called Scooby
Wed, Apr 15 2015It still seems way too early to even starting thinking about the 2016 presidential election, but candidates are already throwing their hats in the ring. Among the officially announced hopefuls so far is former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. To kick off her run for office, she recently embarked on a long-distance road trip from her home in New York to the campaign battleground of Iowa. Rather than a limo, she was driven there in a conversion van (pictured above) that Clinton named Scooby after Hanna-Barbera's famous, mystery-solving dog. According to Yahoo Autos, the vehicle itself is a Chevrolet Express that has been customized by the Explorer Van Company, and Time says that it's also armored. Clinton isn't behind the wheel, though. All those years in public office mean that the Secret Service does the driving. Of course, the vehicle in Scooby Doo was named the Mystery Machine, and Scooby was mostly brown, not black. To explain the somewhat odd naming, Clinton traveled around in a brown van during her 2000 Senate campaign in New York, and it earned the nickname Scooby, according to Time. Apparently, the moniker has stuck for her latest ride. If the start of the Clinton campaign seems early, she isn't the first White House hopeful to arrive in Iowa this year. A bunch of possible Republican candidates already met at summits in the state at least twice to gain favor ahead of the caucus there. No word on what they were driving...
