More infos regarding my cat at: adriannesquibb@juno.com . My 1969 Camaro Z11 Indy Pace Car. This is a numbers matching vehicle.
This one is a bit unique in that it is from the factory with convertible - manual trans – A/C, a rare
combination. It has 350/300Hp, front disk brakes, manual steering, manual windows, manual top. It runs and sounds
great. Obviously, it is a major head-tuner when it’s out on the road. It’s definitely a fun car to own.
I don’t know a lot about its history. I purchased it from the Volo Car Museum in Volo, IL in Aug of 2002 for
$29,995. It had broken suspension, worn interior and rusted up engine compartment.
I had the car fully vetted and inspected by Duffy’s Classic Cars immediately after purchase. They verified
authenticity and numbers matching. A previous owner riveted in a trunk floor and from underneath you can see the
original trunk floor is rusted through under the well for the convertible top. Rest of the car is sound. The body
sheet metal is great. Doors hang properly. The paint is not great. It appears to have been repainted at some
point. That paint, although it looks great from 15’ away, is chipping and spider web cracking in areas.
During my ownership, I have spent thousands of dollars upgrading or restoring primarily the suspension, interior
and engine compartment. I have put only a few thousand miles on the car, and it has seen only sunny weather.
I’ve probably washed it twice. No idea how old(or safe) the Goodyear tires are at this point.
Primary work performed: engine rebuilt by local muscle car shop in late 2011, new suspension, new interior, engine
compartment completely renovated (except firewall paint). As a result of this work, I have hundreds of new and
original parts left over – far too many to list, but they include all AC components/hoses, steering wheel,
partial cowl induction parts, extra carb(not correct), original dash fuel gauge, brake booster, alternator, and on
and on. I have receipts for over $14,000 invested.
I know this is going to be hard to believe, but the headlight doors are working properly!! As of this writing.
Can’t guarantee that for the future.
The interior is completely new. For the purposes of this ad, “New” means I installed it. It could have
happened in 2004 or 2007, so technically it’s not new(2015), but it also has sat virtually unused since
installed. I upgraded to the rosewood steering wheel. I rebuilt the seats down to replacing worn or broken
springs, as needed. The clock shows correct time twice a day. The sending unit in the fuel tank needs to be
replaced.
Engine was completely rebuilt by a local muscle car shop in 2011, has less than 300 miles on the rebuild.
I have added stainless brake lines, new fuel lines, new suspension, new exhaust, new clutch/pressure
plate/through-out bearing, all new AC components, all new ignition components, wire harnesses, washer system, cowl
induction system, brake booster and components, voltage regulator and similar electrical components, radiator
recently re-cored, vacuum lines, headlight door rebuild, new decals, and so on.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
