Hi Everyone,

Available is a Stunning 89 IROC-Z convertible in the most desirable color combination and drivetrain.  Car is a 305, 5.0L TPI, 5-speed. Has 13k original miles, never driven in rain in inclement weather. Deluxe cloth interior with just about all options. Most of the 13k miles were put on it by the current owner since 2005.

Blue with a gray cloth interior, Black top, very original benchmark level car. 100% original paint, no accidents ever, no rust ever, was a southern car until it was shipped up to Mass about 6-7 years ago when bought. Never been driven in any foul weather and it's always garaged.

Yes, the car has the original "ink-mark-still-showing" GoodYear Gatorback tires (which are near impossible to find and validate the mileage), as well as the original GM floor mats.  Photocopy of the original window sticker is available.  Car has no stories, just a collector owned car since day 1.  Currently on it's 4th owner. 

The following has been replaced over the years: the injectors, MAF sensor, plugs, antenna (with stationary antenna), radio (YES the original is included, none of the wires were cut when the CD player was installed), and all fluids. The battery has been replaced too.  Car is fun to drive and ALWAYS gets attention at cruise nights and car shows.

Like anything, if you want to use it to drive it, it should have the tires replaced, they are definitely old and are starting to dry rot. If you want to get real critical, the car does have a very small ding or two that you need to climb all over it to find, but it's really a very nice car. The top does have some very small wear from being down and the vinyl boot around the rear deck has the wear marks from the top (see pics, every one of these cars does this, it's due to design).  Also, the arm rests are just starting to separate (again, they all do this over time and it's easily fixable).

They are only original once and thirdgen Camaros and Firebird with low mileage and the right options / colors are starting to skyrocket in value, they have recently been in the press about how they are great to collect as they are going up in value quickly.  Buy this one to enjoy before the prices go nuts.

I am posting for a very close friend, if you have any questions, I will get you in touch with him direct.  You are welcome to view the car if serious prior to making a bid.

Serious bids only please!!  Car is located in Worcester MA, about an hour from Boston.  If you do not have the funds, please do not bid.  He may consider a partial trade for a low mile ram air trans am convertible with a 6-speed, nothing else.  I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.  $2,000 is due within 24 hours of auction close.  The rest is due within 7 days, cash or certified bank check only.  The car must be picked up within 7 days of auction close.  The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  Thanks!

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]

Tue, Sep 27 2016

UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.
