This is a beautiful 1985 I bought it in early 2011 from the previous owner who had it for 15 years. The Autocheck report shows this as a 2 owner, however this is not accurate, as the previous owner did not buy it new. It had a Goodwrench 350 and Edelbrock carb already installed when I got it. It's had a partial restoration since I've owned it, it's been painted, color sanded and buffed, and had many new parts installed, including both fuel tanks and sending units, fuel selector valve and switch, Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, master cylinder, brake booster, heater core, blower motor, billet grill,driver's side window motor, new door/window seals, new rear glass and seal, headliner, dash cap, door hinge pins and bushings and many other miscellaneous parts. I added the BF Goodrich MTs and Mickey Thompson wheels. I do have the original factory rally wheels, original bench seat (needs work), and the original Silverado fender trim. The truck has never been lifted, and the steering and suspension is all very tight. I was in the processing of changing the interior to black, and it still needs carpet and a seat cover (the later model bench seat is in decent condition, but has some stains and a tear in the driver's side that has been sewn up). The lumbar support in the seats is connected and functional. I was also planning to do a spray-in bedliner. As you can see in the pictures, the inside of the bed is very straight and rust free, this truck has mainly been used as a driver and not abused.

The issues that I'm aware of are: the cruise control does not work, the a/c works and still has R12 refrigerant in it, but the compressor is a little noisy. There are a couple places in the paint where there is some slight color variance, and I believe this is due to a different color primer being used in these areas. It doesn't show in the pictures, and I didn't see this for several days after I got it back from being painted, however I wanted to point it out. There are also a lot of rock chips on the rocker panels that have been touched up, you can see this in one of the pictures. The passenger side window motor is getting weak and will need to be replaced.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.

Franchitti, Kanaan, and Dixon prank young IndyCar driver

Fri, May 22 2015

The 20-year-old Sage Karam is a rising star in racing after scoring the 2013 Indy Lights Championship and taking ninth place in the 2014 Indianapolis 500. He's now competing for Chip Ganasi Racing, one of the top teams in the IndyCar Series, and counts this year's pole sitter Scott Dixon and former winner Tony Kanaan as teammates. Of course, being so young and a new member of the squad, some lighthearted hazing is to be expected. Dixon, Kanaan, and three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti decided to play a little prank on Karam. While ostensibly detailing his Chevrolet Camaro, the three joking racecar drivers turned it into the Karamo. Check out the video above to see exactly what that means. After some scary crashes going into this year's event, it's refreshing to watch some cheery things happening at Indy.
