Thanks for looking at our 1974 Chevrolet Camaro.  This car has fresh paint and interior, new tires and wheels and a very strong rebuilt small block 350 and transmission.  It's FAST AND LOUD so if your looking to sneak around, this isn't your car. You can depend on firing half a dozen car alarms in your trip through the parking lot.  In underground parking, you can make mayhem while devastating car alarms to your hearts content.

We bought the car as an unfinished but running project.  The motor and trans had been completed rebuilt but otherwise the car looked pretty sad. 

We found that indeed the engine and trans were very strong.  We suspect she's a 383 stroker but aren't sure.  The car runs cool in LA traffic.  Headers feed Flowmasters into short pipes that end at the axle. The B&M QuickSilver shifter works flawlessly.

Thanks to her 1974 Birthday, this beauty is SMOG EXEMPT in California.  No  annual testing or requirements. 

This is a Factory Air Conditioned car but the compressor is not present.

Tilt Steering Wheel,  Aftermarket AM FM CD with removable face.  Just installed new 6X9 Speakers on the new package shelf.  Tons of volume and bass.  Sounds great.

Glass is good all around. Passenger door glass may need adjustment.  New rubber door seals, roof rail seals, window fuzzies, etc.  We understand that this is the sought after small back window model?

New upholstery, headliner, carpet and door panels. Grant steering wheel. Updated dash.

Fresh Repaint to factory original white.  Later model hood scoop. Pans and trunk are solid

New 18" REV Wheels and Sumitomo tires. 20 lock lugs and key.  New Gabriel air shocks.

Runs and drives well.  Lots of attention and always welcome at cruise nights and weekend car gatherings.

Will post engine pics. Ran out of light and time.

This Camaro is currently licensed, registered and insured in California.  No sensors, gps, abs, tpms or any other pms. The most complicated part of this Camaro is likely the radio.

The California title is clean and issued in the sellers name.

Included is a complete build book with receipts, build pictures on CD and other documents related to this car. 

Values on these pre-smog Camaro's continue to escalate as collectors realize how few cars are left.

Parts are plentiful and reasonable.  Get this nice one and you'll be right back to 1974 in a bad ass way. 

Open to southern California area partial, up or down vehicle trades.  pre 1975 Muscle cars, Volvo P1800, Metropolitan, Alfa Romeo, Porsche 911, 240Z 260Z 280Z, older Cadillac, Camaro, Mustang, Vintage race cars, older Jaguars, British sports cars, kit cars, project cars, 1948-1986 interesting cars.  No boats, motorcycles or aircraft please.

 Thanks for all of your questions and comments!!  Posting a few more shots of the Camaro.  In doing so, I'm reminded of the hipo Edelbrock intake and carburetor, HEI ignition and the other upgrades this car has had.  New front marker lenses are in the back seat. (see pics)  Quite a car and seeing anything like this in the parking lot is pretty rare indeed.  Good luck bidders!

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet

Mon, May 12 2014

Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.

Chevy to offer new Cruze as a hatchback in the US

Mon, Jun 22 2015

Chevrolet plans to offer a five-door hatchback version of the new Cruze in the United States, according to the latest intel from Automotive News. In addition to the sedan form we're familiar with, the outgoing Cruze was offered as a hatchback in some markets overseas, but not in America – a decision which Mark Reuss, GM's EVP in charge of product development, characterized as "a pre-bankruptcy planning mistake." The new Chevy Cruze is set to debut later this week. Although the American automaker has yet to confirm which bodystyles will be offered where, AN reports that a five-door model was already shown to dealers at their national meeting in Las Vegas last week. AN points out that the Ford Focus with which the new Cruze will be contending is offered as both a sedan and hatchback in America, with the latter accounting for some 40 percent of sales.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
