Up for sale is a 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 with a rare 5-speed manual transmission (Getrag 284). The car has about 225k miles on it, but the engine has only 120k miles on it. The transmission is original. This car has been my daily driver for years. I don’t have enough time to dedicate to this car and I’d like to find it a new home. I’m looking for someone within the Z34 or wbody community to buy this car and keep it going for years to come.

The car overall is in fair shape. It is a daily driver, but it could use some work (see “issues” below). I will also include various new parts I accumulated over the years that I never installed or never needed (such as a water pump and brake pads, although they are not needed).

Clear title. Cash buyer, in-person only. Car is located in Minneapolis MN.  Feel free to ask questions.

New Parts & Recent Work:

Brand new battery

Brand new ignition module

New starter

New rear struts

Newer rear brake lines, rotors, calipers, and pads

Timing belt (205k miles)

Clutch (155k miles)

Has NGK iridium plugs

Has cold air intake and cone filter

 

Issues:

-Shifting issues – it requires more force than usual to move the shifter to the left side to shift into 1st and 2nd. Each gear still works and there is no grinding. Both shifter linkage cables appear to be fine, so I assume it is an issue with the internal gear selector forks.

 

-Headlights (needs dimmer switch, which will be included but needs to be installed – in the meantime the high beams work)

 

-Parking brake (needs new cables and lever – have parts, just need to be installed)

 

-Needs new ABS sensors (I’ve been driving without them for years)

 

-Minor oil leak(s)

 

-Driver’s side door latch and lock (must remain unlocked in order to function properly – I have a replacement from a salvage yard that needs to be installed)

 

-Driver’s side power window (I have a new motor and regulator that need to be installed)

 

-A/C (not sure if it needs a Freon refill or a new compressor)

 

-Likely needs alignment

 

-Will need outer tie rods soon (have parts, just need to be installed)

 

-Trunk leaks small amount of water occasionally (have new weather stripping, just needs to be installed)

 

-Catalytic convertor rattles a bit, nothing significant.

 

-Head unit needs to be reinstalled (alpine CDA 7863 included)

 

-Rear speakers need to be reinstalled or aftermarket speakers with boxes can be hooked up to existing aftermarket wires)

 

-Rust forming over wheel wells and a couple other common areas

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.
