What we have here is a 1968 Z28 Camaro. This car is a documented Protection Plate car from the dealership. The car has gone through a complete rotisserie restoration. Every single wire to lightbulb, to bushing, to nut and bolt....this car has been completely dismantled, restored and meticulously put back together with complete detail and care. The car has a numbers matching drive train except the engine which was found close to the correct date code. Original MO Zapper block which was standard and rebuilt with all Z28 correct components like ..standard 1178 crankshaft...standard 30/30 camshaft, lifters, rockers, balancer, windage tray excetra. Factory Original.... everything in this car to the throttle spring is the way it came off the assembly line. The car is literally not broken into as it was driven only couple hundred miles. Every mechanical part of the car was fined tuned from the point you turn the key. From the Holley DZ original carburetor, to the timing of the engine, to the temperature .... all mechanical components compliment each other when driving. This machine was in the care of a mechanic from the 60's era before it came home. If I would compare driving this car to a musical instrument I would say a flute....Sounds so smooth. The car has no flaws. There is not a scratch, chip, or mark on the paint. The body lines and gaps are like factory. The factory original paint of Seafrost Green is a rare color and has the houndstooth seats which have also been refoamed and upholstered. This car is equiped with a restored AM/FM radio, center console, tic tac toc, power steering, power disc brakes which are all factory original. Even the brake booster and master cylinder were restored to retain the numbers on the booster which state a true Z28. This car was restored with the dynamat coat underneath the carpet to provide the sound barrier of driving. And I say, you can barely hear the car when you drive it. It is equipped with the original reproduction exhaust as well. The wheels on the car are original Z28 wheels. They are also restored with GM stamps and DF stamps on them. There is one spare rim matching the other five wheels that come with the car. The transmission is restored and is an M22 Rock Crusher transmission. The GM Z28 emblems are real and not knock off ones.. These are super rare and they are brand new and not repops...The rear end is the original posi traction BU Code 3:73 rear end with all original GM gears.. All seals have been replaced. There is no leaks anywhere. This car still retains its original glove box tire decal which also describes its status as a True Z28. This car also came with the delux steering wheel which also has been restored. Front power disc brakes with all lines....basically the whole brake system, fuel system is brand new. All suspension is brand new...Everything ..like I said....nut and bolt... ALL NEW....I installed a secondary mechanical temp gauge which will read temp contantly at 180F. This car is definately a beautiful car. They never called these cars the mighty mouse of the 60's for no reason. The car is currently in a heated container stored right now. You will not find a nicer turn key, everything works, completely restored 1968 Camaro anywhere ...Bonus ...ITS A REAL DOCUMENTED Z28 ....For my US friends. The car came from Wisconsin and I am currently the third owner. I can do all the paperwork at the border without you being there. It will leave from Blaine, Washington State. Car must obviously be shipped in an enclosed truck where I can meet the driver for pickup at the border... I will pay the 500 border fee and have all the paperwork ready for you when the car arrives to its new home. It will be made easy so you may take it to your DMV, Isure, and title it to your state. Please read and look at the pictures... All photo and receipt documentation is included with the car. Have this beauty just in time for the summer. Super low reserve for the value of this car. Tens of thousands spent on restoration for problem free turn key car. This car is a real gem ... Goodluck.

Had a question about the protection booklet. Those are photo copies in the picture. The real book is stored in our bank's safety deposit box. And yes it will go along with the car. And yes, the reserve is below 50 !

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
