1988 IROC-Z Camaro. I have owned this car for almost 11 years, and it is an exceptional 3rd gen Camaro. I don't want to sell this at all, but I never drive it anymore and I could really use the space in my garage.
I bought the car from a guy in Missouri around 2003. As far as he knew, the car had spent most of its life around that area. He had owned it for years and had put a lot of work into it. Shortly before I bought it from him he had the car painted, rebuilt the transmission, and replaced the motor. The paint job is not show quality after all this time, but it still looks fantastic. It is a metallic gm maroon color that looks great in the sun. The car still has zero rust and no real major exterior issues. There are a few chips here and there, but nothing exceptional. The original color of the car was bright red. I still have the receipt from him when he had the transmission rebuilt too. It is a 700r4 (that I believe is original) with a very stiff shift kit. When you go to accelerate it shifts very precise from gear to gear. The car was originally a carburetor 305, but he had upgraded to the 305 tune port at some point. I don't know why this was done. When I purchased the vehicle the odometer was at approximately 80,000 miles. I don't know for sure if the odometer has turned over, but if it has I'd be very surprised given the condition of the vehicle.
In the 10 plus years I've owned this I have done everything possible to maintain and take care of this car. When I originally bought it I was in college, and I just used this as a summer car and it has never been driven in the winter since I've owned it (the previous claimed he did the same too). For the first couple of years I owned this car, there were some basic repairs I had done. Most notably, I had to replace the injectors and I had those upgraded to performance rather than stock. Also, I had the fuel pump replaced and a/c repaired.
For about the last 7 years I've owned this car, it has mostly just sat in a garage in storage. However, each spring I would put insurance on it and drive it around a little and would also be sure to start it periodically when it was not being driven. The car has been meticulously maintained and could be driven anywhere with confidence at any time.
The rims are 17 inch torque thrust with yokohoma tires. They look great and were extremely expensive when purchased new. The car runs great and honestly has no issues. It has flowmaster dual exhaust and is a lot of fun to drive. In addition, I have a pretty high end Pioneer cd player with 2 10inch subs run by a Kenwood 600 watt amp that I'm planning on going with the car. Also, this car has pretty decent options for a 1988. It has power everything, 4 wheel disc brakes, and t-tops.
At this time, there are no significant issues or problems at all, but this is a 25 year old car and I'll do my best to mention all of the little quirks and minor issues I can think of. First off, the passenger side door needs adjusted or new bushings or something. I've noticed that the gap between the fender and door has widened slightly over time. The biggest imperfection with the paint is on the front passenger side of the front bumper there is a spot of the paint that was touched up that is about the size of a fist. The interior is in above average condition, but it certainly isn't perfect. The front seats have a few cigarette burns, but I've always had high quality car seat covers so its never bothered me. Lastly, since it hasn't been driven much for years the a/c isn't currently blowing cold, but everything is there and it works. The car has been converted to 134 and if you added new refrigerant, the a/c would blow cold.
In all of the time I have owned this car, I have only put on like 10,000 miles because this was always just a fun spare car. I seriously have about 15 years worth of receipts between myself and the previous owner that equal thousands and thousands of dollars worth of maintenance and repairs. I love this car and am sad to see it go, but its time. I'd love to see this car go to someone who would simply drive it more than I do. I've seen similar condition 3rd gen Camaros sell for around $7,000 to $8,000, but I'm ready for this to move so the reserve will be a lot more reasonable than this price range. I just can't imagine a lot of 80's Camaros out there that are in this condition and have this much history and paperwork that goes a long with it. If you have any questions or want to see it in person, please just ask. 309-219-1196. Call or text anytime.
***I totally understand the importance of vin checks on old used cars, but the low score is really frustrating. If you were to do a vin check there is a discrepancy in miles reported at one point and I suspect this has something to do with the engine replacement. In addition, when I purchased this car I lived in Iowa and it had a Missouri title at that point. Since then I moved from Iowa and had to retitle it to Illinois. I believe this process messed up the numbers of owners listed, but there's not much I can do about it. All I know is that I've owned this car for over 10 years and the condition speaks for itself.***

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover
Wed, Jul 25 2018Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.
