Columbus, Ohio, United States

Up for sale is this very fun, customized, Mad Maxian 83 Chevy Camaro. I've had this car for 3 years and it has been a blast. I need more room in the garage and so now its time to let the baby go. I bought this car to race autocrosses with, not knowing really what autocrosses were all about, so I decided to track down a car from my youth. I had no idea that a stock 30 year old car wasn't really the best choice. More on that later. This was a Michigan car and in surprising great condition considering the kind of winters Michigan gets. Virtually rust free. Got it home and did my first autocross. That's when the Camaro began to change.
For those of you who don't know what autocrosses are, its basically a big go-kart track made out of cones in a parking lot. You drive through the course as fast as you can without hitting any cones. Immensly fun considering you never go more than 45 mph. This is where I learned that my Camaro was not as up to the task of an autocross as say, a Miata. Thus my adventure began with one goal. Go faster and turn better. Here's a list of the changes: Interior Gutted the interior. Took apart the dash and removed all duct work. Removed heat exchanger. Removed seats. New GT steering wheel. New Sunpro temp gauge. New Sunpro boost gauge (there is no turbo-I just like dials) Installed green indicator light for electric fans. Removed AC and heating control panel. Removed radio. Installed racing seat. Installed 4 point harness. Painted interior black. Exterior/engine Painted the car black using the "wet look". Very unique. Kind of feels like rhino liner. Appears matte black. Confuses everyone who looks at it. Swapped out stock headlights for round ones. 16" 84 Corvette rims with 265/45ZR16 tires all around. A bit bald. 2.75in wheel spacers to accomodate the corvette tires. Installed lowering springs all around - approx 2in drop. New adjustable Summit Racing shocks in the rear. New gas filled struts in the front. New ball joints. New poly steering bushings. New steering gearbox fast ratio. New steering shaft with no rag joint (custom aftermarket) New radiator. New transmission cooler. New subframe connectors installed (bolt-in). 2 New electric fans - 10 and 14in I believe. New Wonderbar in addition to front anti-sway bar (old). Removed mechanical engine fan. Removed A/C system. Removed windshield wiper container. New distributor cap. New wires. New 165 degree thermostat installed. New thermostat sensor installed. Disconnected computer. Installed new plugs this year. New carb hat. Custom cold air intake with washable Spectre cone filter. Custom exhaust headers with no catalytic converter 2.25in half pipe half flex pipe going to single cherry bomb. New rear anti-sway bar. Changed rear differential fluid and seal. I believe that's all. Alot of blood sweat and beers went into this puppy. It's not for everybody as its obviously been played with a lot by me as well as the previous owner. I didn't do much to the engine really. Changed the oil a bunch, always used conventional. Always ran premium gas. Transmission fluid has been drained and refilled since I've had it as well as the coolant. New brake fluid. I've only put 1896 miles on the car so its been babied really. Someone before me did an engine swap. 350's weren't offered in 83. I believe a rebuilt 1980 truck engine was dropped in (thats all I could find out based on engine codes). Someone else also did the cat removal. Other than that when I got it, it was pretty much stock. Its a blast to drive. Burnouts are no problem (only one tire though). Loud, strong pull, solid shifting. Steering has been greatly improved. Virtually no body roll. Very fun at autocross now! Comes with a few extras: Original set of berlinetta rims. New set of brake pads. A muffler I used for a little while. An extra cherry bomb - had both running one year but it was too loud! Spare tire. Great project car. Could be good for true racing - throw a roll cage in there. Feel free to ask any questions - I will do my best to answer them. No warranties - No returns! A $250 - Deposit is required within 48 hours of the close of auction. Buyer will have 7 days to pickup or remove the vehicle. Car is listed locally. I reserve the right to close the auction early if it sells. Below are some vids of it in action 070514 National Trail |

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
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.
