1986 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z28 on 2040-cars
Huntley, Illinois, United States
This Iroc-Z was the loaded Camaro of its time. It originally came with the 5.0 V8 (F). I believe I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car in 2002. At that time the owner had bought a BRE 383 Stroker crate motor (approx. $5,000). He started a family and had to sell so I bought it and invested a lot of money in finishing off the build. The biggest cost was installing a fully laptop tunable Accel 6.0 DFI Engine Management System. Several years ago a rod broke and I had the motor fully rebuilt. I changed careers and didn’t even pull it out (other than occasional starts) for a couple years there to save money but it only has about 2,500 miles on it since the rebuild. I am currently driving it and I baby it. I would guess it hasn’t been over 70 mph since the rebuild. New performance heads were added during the rebuild and the engine builder estimated the motor setup should make around 500 horse. Moreover, torque is really what this motor is known for. I have not dyno tested it however. I do know simply with street tires I cannot hook up the power without easing on the pedal; it can also spin the tires easy upon shifting around 50 mph. It’s an absolute monster and has the complete quality sound of a well-built muscle car from idle to cruising. As you can tell from the pictures the paint looks great. The previous owner had it repainted and you can see there are no black lines around the bottom of the car like many Irocs, and I think it looks so much sharper.
It’s a very tough decision to sell since I think of the work and money that went into making it run so strong and clean as it does now. However I’ve wanted to also experience other vehicles and can’t without money from this car. I am looking to get a 47-53 pickup and would be open to such trades.
Issues: There is minor/surface rust as seen in the pics in small areas under the hood, hatch, and inside bottom of the doors. I sprayed these with rust stop and have garaged/stored the car so the rust hasn’t really changed at all in the 12 years I’ve had it. It could easily be repaired if you wanted to spend time on it. Other minor things that are cheap fixes that I just haven’t had time to do: Needs new wire or connecter for wipers as they shut off but sometimes it takes many turns to get it, headlights take a couple times to shut off, gear selector indicator can stick and doesn’t always show what gear you are in, psgr door lock works but seems a little tired, dash is in perfect shape except one corner (see pic). Steering wheel could use a rewrap.
I will list some of the mods but there are too many to list everything. I have tons of receipts. My guess is the spending on upgrades/rebuilds alone is $20,000. I have original parts including the original red seats (faded but no tears), a/c, and extra set of T-tops that go with the car. Within last 10,000 miles rebuilt 700R4 transmission. B&M Shift kit B&M ratchet shifter TCS Torque (stall) Converter Tires-2 fronts est. 8-10,000 miles on them, 1 of the rear about 2,000 miles, the other rear unsure but still fine BRE 383 Stoker with all the bells and whistles from pistons, cam, lifters ect…. Edelbrock T.E.S Headers into 3 inch pipe, high flow cat converter, and $$$ Borla exhaust with intercooled tips Edelbrock Hi-Flo TPI Manifold 30lb. fuel injectors BMR 3 point strut tower brace Lakewood adjustable panhard bar SSM subframe connectors Aftermarket rear control trailing arms Bilstein shocks Racing bucket seats Brakes: Front -Wilwood Discs, pads, and 4 piston calipers, Back-New stock discs, pads, rotors in about the last 10,000 miles Pioneer speakers and Pioneer EQ adjustable 4X45wts CD player New black carpet (original carpet was too faded red) New window switches New head liner cover and speaker covers … $500 due immediately upon auction close. Accepted methods of payment are PayPal and cash (no personal checks). If necessary we could meet at a bank for a money order/cashier's check. The car can be picked up/driven away or shipped. You will have to arrange any shipping but I’d be happy to help with it as needed. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks for looking!

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission
Thu, Apr 25 2019General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt
Wed, Aug 13 2014With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.
