I purchased this Camaro from the original owner in December 2013.  At the time, it had 37,000 miles on it.  As can be seen in the odometer photo, it now has 40,000 +. 

I replaced the factory sound system with a high end Pioneer.  It has a CD/DVD player and also a built in navigation system and hands free telephone.  The microphone is in the center of top of windshield so it can pick up the voice of both driver and passenger.  There is a satellite radio antennae which is mounted in the windshield side of the dash. It’s wired so the DVD player can be used while driving (for the passenger’s pleasure).  There is a back-up camera.  Since the video can be on the entire time the car is moving, I use the back-up camera screen as a rearview mirror which is really handy as the rear window in the convertible top is really small.  All factory speakers were replaced with new ones.  The highs are crisp, and the lows are solid with no rattling. There was also a subwoofer and amp installed in the trunk.  Total cost for the sound system was about $2,000.  All original sound equipment goes with the car.

At the same time, I had the windows tinted, including a windshield eyebrow.  That was another $200.  I then put 17 inch wheels and tires on the car- another $1,200. 

I ran this ad once before with very little response, so I decided to put it back on with the original equipment.  The 17 inch tires don’t have 500 miles on them.  The factory 16 inch tires are not brand new-but as can be seen in the photo, there is a lot of tread left on them. 

Shortly after I purchased the vehicle, I got a 2-1/2 inch cowl induction hood.  When I had it painted, I had the headlight buckets painted to match (as I never thought that black look was appealing). There goes another $1,000, 

Clearance lights on all four corners have been replaced with black lenses.  All original lights go with the car. The cowl hood goes with the car.

The original owner had replaced the original top with a factory one just before I purchased the car.  The top is so taut that several people have asked me if it really goes down, or is a padded hardtop.

There are a few chips in the front bumper cover.  I’m not going to count them, because there may be a couple of more by the time it is sold, and I don’t want to be pinned to a number. As can be seen in a couple of the photos, there is a scuff on the side of the driver's seat from the original owner sliding in and out. After a couple of weeks, I no longer noticed it-but just wanted to point it out. 

The dent in the passenger's rear quarter panel was on the car when I purchased it. As you can see, it is barely noticeable (the original owner had to point it out to me). The scratch on the top of the fender happened in the body shop when I was having the hood painted. They covered the whole car with plastic to prevent overspray from the hood getting on the car. I feel when they trimmed the plastic they scratched it. However, since they deny it, there is nothing I can do now. As is obvious, unless you look at it head on, you can't even see it.

Please keep in mind, this car is almost 20 years old and it is not a 100 point show car, but it is a way above average driver. As I have nothing to hide, I would prefer people take a test drive before bidding-but that is up to you.  I am located approximately an hour and a half northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas; about one hour south of the Missouri state line on highway 65.

For something that is unmodified, the car sure feels like it has a lot of power.  I was very pleasantly surprised at the gas mileage I was getting-around 25 mpg on open road.

Once I got all this work done, and drove it for a short time, I realized I just didn’t enjoy it that much.  I’m used to sports cars, and this car just feels big to me -although I think most people would be tickled to death with it!  I bought the Miata (which can be seen in some of the photos, as I thought it would suit me better.  I liked it just fine.   However I no longer have the Miata as it was sideswiped by a deer.  I am now in the process of buying a Porsche as I feel that will satisfy my wants/needs.

Anyone interested in shipping, I will not make the arrangements, but I will work with your shipper any way I can-just about any time, any day as I am retired (yes, even old farts like cool cars!)  The original owner was also older.  

I’m quite sure I’m leaving something out.  I will try to answer any questions as honestly as possible.  If anyone wants photos from other angles, please let me know.

 I know this car has a lot of years/miles left in it.

I forgot to mention, the car presently has the factory wheels and hood on it (but everything mentioned in the ad goes with it).

I am not a professional photographer (I'm not even a good amateur photographer)-but if anyone wants additional photographs from any angle or any close-ups, please let me know and I will do the best I can. If anyone would like to look at the item before bidding, it is located approximately 1-1/2 hours northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas.

CNG Chevy Impala launch delay grows to a year

Fri, Jun 12 2015

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel was announced in Washington D.C. in late 2013 by Dan Akerson and was supposed to be on sale by the summer of 2014. Capable of running on gasoline and compressed natural gas, the sedan was said to offer a novel solution at a time when gas prices were high. The vehicles still haven't arrived at dealers, though, and according to Automotive News, a quality issue has set back the launch even a few months more. Using a modified 3.6-liter V6 with hardened valves and valve seats, the Bi-Fuel Impala has separate tanks for gasoline and CNG that it can switch between on the fly. When running on the cheaper natural gas, the sedan was estimated to get 19 miles per gallon in the city and offer 150 miles of range, and the total driving distance was predicted at around 500 miles. The base price was set at $38,210, after the $825 destination charge. The only other major tradeoff was a smaller trunk to accommodate the extra fuel. However, the first shipments of the bi-fuel models now aren't expected until mid-July – about a year later than the scheduled launch. A memo to dealers obtained by Automotive News said the sedan "has been delayed by a second quality hold" to look at the CNG system. The exact details surrounding this problem haven't been released. "We have identified a solution to the delay and are working hard to implement it within the next few months," General Motors spokesperson Chad Lyons said to Automotive News. Around 200 Bi-Fuel Impalas have been made, but none are yet in the hands of customers. Dealers should be able to order 2016 model year examples starting in the third quarter of this year.

GM reworking mandatory OnStar plans for some 2024 models

Tue, Mar 21 2023

For the 2023 model year, GM added its OnStar and Connected Services plan as standard equipment to a large number of Buick, GMC, and Chevrolet vehicles. Folding the $1,500 retail price into the MSRPs of models like the GMC Acadia and Buick Encore plumped up prices beyond the usual year-on-year bumps. Looks like there's a reversal in play for 2024, GM Authority reporting that many of the models fitted with OnStar and Connected Services — now called OnStar Premium — will step down to three years of OnStar Remote Access standard.   OnStar Remote Access comes with these features: Remote key fob, vehicle locate, and remote personalization through mobile and in-vehicle apps. Three additional features can be added to the plan: OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle hotspot, and Super Cruise. Owners can also upgrade to OnStar Premium if they choose.  Higher trims like Buick's Avenir and GMC's Denali, plus the GMC Hummer and the Cadillac Escalade will retain OnStar Premium as standard equipment. That suite starts with Remote Access and adds: Automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance and recovery, OnStar Guardian, in-vehicle app access, unlimited streaming, three years of Super Cruise on vehicles with the hardware, and six months of SiriusXM radio. The Escalade puts a cherry on top with three years Sirius XM instead of six months. The Remote Access plan normally charges $14.99 per month. We're not sure yet if GM will subtract the cost of OnStar Premium from the MSRP and add the $540 for OnStar Remote Access, or if the trial period comes free of charge. Even if that's what happens, the change could take nearly $1,000 off the MSRP of a car like the GMC Acadia before any 2024 increases. We'll know more as the 2024MY models roll out and prices are announced. Related Video 2022 Buick Enclave Avenir revealed

Chevy, Kid Rock in Confederate flag row with civil rights group

Mon, Jul 13 2015

Two of Detroit's own are ensnared in controversy today. In an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, mulleted musician Kid Rock told those protesting the Confederate Battle Flag to "kiss my ass." Now, Chevrolet, which is sponsoring Rock's summer concert tour, is under fire for its support. "We are committed to our sponsorship of Kid Rock's summer tour and are confident that he will provide his fans, many of whom are proud Chevrolet owners, with a spectacular concert experience that celebrates American Freedom," a Chevy spokesperson told The Detroit Free Press last week. The company also uses the Kid Rock anthem Born Free in its pickup truck advertising. The company's position is not sitting well with the Detroit chapter of the National Action Network, though, which has called on GM to pull its support for the embattled artist. "It's obvious to us that, by supporting [Rock], while he's making inflammatory statements, General Motors becomes an accomplice if they allow him their support to stand behind his statements," the Rev. Charles Williams II, NAN's Detroit chapter director, told the Freep. As controversial as Rock's comments are, it's not entirely clear when the last time he actually waved that flag was. The Freep reports that several concertgoers don't recall seeing the flag during his most recent tour, or even over the last few years of concerts. In a 2002 interview with the paper, Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, said that the flag had been used as a symbol of southern rock and a rebel spirit, saying: "It's not about hatred or being a racist. I like Southern rock music, and a lot of people died under that flag for beliefs they had, right or wrong. But it stands for rebel, and my love of Southern rock." Related Video:
