Ebay isn't a game...Only bid if you're serious and going to follow through...I still drive it regularly so miles may be slightly more! This is a nice Camaro I've owned for 3 years, but know a lot of the history of from the late 90's. To start off, it's a Type LT that is supposed to be burgundy in color, but as we can see, it's black with blue painted stripes and the pinstripe around the stripes is purple. The painted stripes run all the way down to the front and rear valances. The hood is a 6" Glasstek bolt on fiberglass hood. It was painted around 1998 and actually has held up well! There's some scratches here and there, and at one time it looks like the driver's door rubbed the front fender. The only rust is pictured and it's on the lower front valance where the license plate bracket would go. I would call the body 8 out of 10 with a paint job making it a 10.

On the drivetrain...It's got a 350 in it with Dart iron heads, Comp Cams 292H Magnum cam, full roller rockers, Edelbrock air gap intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb with electric choke, MSD 6AL ignition with MSD Pro Billet distributor and MSD Super Conductor wires. It does have headers on it that goes into a Flowmaster American Thunder full system. It has one muffler longways (factory position) that has 2 pipes going into it and 2 pipes going out. It sounds great! It has a big block radiator in it, electric fans, and billet pulleys on it along with a vacuum canister so there's no lack of vacuum with the big cam.

The transmission is a 700R4 with about a 3000 stall converter in it and a B&M console MegaShifter it in. It shifts really hard and is a blast! The rear end is from a 79 Trans Am WS6 so it has the rear sway bar along with the disc brakes, so yes it does have 4 wheel disc brakes. The rear end has an Auburn Gear Pro differential and 4.11 gear ratio. It works great with the 700R4 so you're not turning real high RPMs going down the road!

The frame on this car has had frame connectors welded in along with traction bars added. All suspension bushings are polyurethane and there is a larger front sway bar. Between all of that and the 16X8 American Racing wheels, it handles great!

The interior is basically stock and was replaced in the late 90's. As you can see, it does have Auto Meter liquid-filled gauges and an Auto Meter Monster tach as well. The radio is a Kenwood CD player with 4 6X9 speakers in the rear deck and 2 4" speakers in the dash that sound great to.

All receipts that I have had for this car since I've owned it go with it...As far as what I've done to it: New fuel pump, alternator, battery, Edelbrock carb, MSD distributor, wires, spark plugs, 4 shocks, 2 tires, Kenwood CD player and front 2 speakers, new trunk and door lock cylinders, headlight, among other things.


Here's a link to a YouTube video of the interior and it starting after sitting for 3 days...  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ-ZmfA9kKw&feature=youtu.be"> </a>


This is a fun car that can be driven daily (I have from time to time), gets lots of compliments, and turns a ton of heads. Hard to find them nice like this!

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV

Thu, Apr 23 2015

Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax makes 369 lb-ft for $3,730 premium

Tue, Jul 28 2015

Since announcing the new Chevrolet Colorado in late 2013, there has been absolutely no secret that the 2.8-liter Duramax diesel would wind up under the hood of the midsize pickup truck for the 2016 model year. It has been a long wait for those wanting the oil-burner, but thankfully, the anticipation is nearly at an end. Chevy is finally officially unleashing details about the four-cylinder, which churns out 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The diesel is available in both LT and Z71 Crew Cab trims, and there's the choice of two- or four-wheel drive. All come with a six-speed automatic gearbox with a standard automatic-locking rear differential. An electronically controlled two-speed transfer case comes on four-wheel drive models, as well. The Z82 trailering package also arrives on all of the Duramax pickups and includes an exclusive integrated trailer brake controller. The first shipment of diesels arrives at dealers this fall with a price of $3,730 on top of a comparably equipped version with the 3.6-liter V6. Customers opting for the Duramax are getting more capability from the Colorado. With a 7,700-pound tow rating on two-wheel drive examples (7,600 pounds with four-wheel drive), drivers can haul 600-700 pounds more behind the truck than its petrol V6 counterpart. Fuel economy numbers haven't been announced yet, but are expected to top the gasoline versions. The engine is also B20 bio-diesel compatible. Beyond being just a good hauler, Chevy is throwing cutting-edge tech into these models. For example, this is the company's first application of a Centrifugal Pendulum Vibration Absorber on the transmission's torque converter. The device is a dampener that cancels out torsional vibration from the engine for a more comfortable ride for occupants. There's also a driver selectable exhaust brake system that uses engine compression to help slow down the truck and reduce brake wear. You can read more about the nuts and bolts of the diesel in Chevy's press release below. Chevrolet Introduces Colorado Duramax Diesel All-new turbo-diesel expands lineup with unparalleled capability, efficiency DETROIT – The fastest-selling truck in the market now offers an available turbo-diesel engine. The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel takes midsize truck capability and efficiency to unprecedented levels.
