1970 Chevrolet Camaro on 2040-cars
Cranfills Gap, Texas, United States
Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : christopherpedroncelli@juno.com .
Complete numbers matching, documented, 24,500 original mile 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. I have documented ownership history, (actually a three ring binder) OEM sales literature, owner's manual, Warranty (i.e. Protect O Plate) Kodak Photos of this car from years ago, extra keys, Parts and Repairs Receipts, and Z28 authenticity certificate. This is a Norwood built car, and so marked on the build tag. This is a survivor car that has been freshened up with an engine re-build 1000 miles ago in 2008. Re-built professionally to factory specifications. The correct heads received a Three angle valve job, and the engine has been fully balanced, line bored, and cylinder honing. New seals in heads and all new engine gaskets of course. I have receipts describing materials, and the exact engine work that was performed. Shop that did the work is very reputable, and in business today. Concours correct Factory style Gardner exhaust with the OEM style Transverse muffler (expensive!). The correct carburetor has been re-built. The original "W" marked aluminum intake manifold is in place, and the Exhaust manifolds are original......and were NOT replaced with headers as so many others have been. Brand new AC / Delco Battery. Again, Re-build occurred at 23.5k miles, so this engine only has 1000 miles on it since re-build. Needless to say, this 360HP LT1 Chevrolet small block 350 runs very strong. 4.11 gears in the 12 Bolt Rear end, and the 1970 Z28 was the only small block Chevrolet Camaro to get a 12 bolt rear end. M22 Rock Crusher Transmission shifts perfectly, and its' synchronisers were adjusted at time of engine re-build by the same shop. All I have done is lubricate the correct Hurst shifter. Clutch is perfect. Steering is nice and tight, with no slop in the steering box. Original interior with no extra speakers etc. (i removed after market speakers and replaced the package tray with a Concours correct replacement). Correct AM radio. I have the original smog pump (see photo of it and the air pump rails in a box) and the original tail pipes, along with the original wood grain dash face and original spare good year bias ply tire and jack accessories. The under chassis has just been freshened up which before retained its original orange oxide primer. The shocks were replaced with new AC / Delco units. Original floor pans. Paint has been touched up on the edge of the floor pans, and the door jams, the cowl (hence the paint on the Cowl tag that was scraped off) and a couple a few other places. Sheet metal is superb, and NO rust anywhere, including the trunk area. Car has the more rare, taller version of the rear spoiler for 1970. I have a photo (old Kodak snap shot!) of the car in the early 1970's with this in place. Correct 8k Tachometer, 150 MPH Speedometer, (both optimistic! :)) Horn, heater, exterior lights, interior lights, wipers and gauges work correctly. CLOCK is even running.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards
Tue, Jul 1 2014Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
