1973 Chevrolet Camaro on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: britta.burgoa@powdermail.com . I am listing my 1973 Chevrolet Camaro restomod up for sale. This is a fabulous car and has tons of very nice
options. It's a turn key restored Musclecar that needs nothing but a driver.
The car is a 73 Chevrolet Camaro Type LT. It was originally a 350, automatic car but it's been frame off restored
and converted to a big block restomod. The car currently has a healthy 1972 396 hooked to a Tremec 5 speed manual
transmission that runs back to a 12 bolt posi rear with 3:73 gears.
This car was frame off restored. The entire front subframe was removed, sandblasted, and then powder coated. It was
then re-assembled with all new bushings, body mounts, oversized sway bars, and coil springs. It received all new
brakes, rotors, and bearings. The body was media blasted, and the entire floor and frame area was Rhino lined
before being painted the same color as the body. This car is all metal. The floors, trunk, frame rails, front
fenders,and quarters were taken down to bare metal and prepped for paint. The paint job is near perfect. It's a
metallic blue with painted white SS stripes with clear coat over everything. The paint looks so fantastic that the
car has twice in the last 4-5 months won awards at local car shows. It received a top 40 award at the Doylestown
Classic Car show. There were over 450 cars in attendance that night. Also, at the beginning of the summer it won an
award at a local show for best paint. The body is super straight and the paint looks fantastic. All the door, hood,
and trunk lines are spot on. The door hinges were rebuilt so there is absolutely no door sagging. The hood is a
fiberglass 2-1/2" cowl hood that has light duty hood springs, and hood pins in the front to hold it securely in
place. The front bumpers are new repro's. They are the RS bumperettes but please be perfectly clear this car is NOT
an RS or a Z/28. The previous owner installed the RS bumperettes because he liked the look better than the full
bumper and he also installed the Z/28 badges but this car is a Type LT and NOT a real Z/28.
The entire underneath is spotless. The front subframe was powder coated, the floors, and rear frame rails were
Rhino-lined and then painted body color to really set the car off. The entire front and rear suspension were
rebuilt using new springs, shocks, brakes, new front and rear sway bars, fuel and brake lines, ect. You name it, it
was replaced with new parts. When all this suspension work was done a set of subframe connectors was also installed
assuring that the car would not flex with the power pf the big block as well as helping with handling by tightening
up the entire suspension. This car is super tight and handles well even though it has a big block up front. It
stops on a dime with front disc brakes and just had brand new rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and spring kits
installed.
The true beauty of this car is in the drivetrain. Instead of being just another 350 Camaro, this car has a period
correct 1972 396 which has been totally rebuilt. It has a steel crank, forged pistons, Crane cam with .540" lift,
double roller timing chain, mildly ported heads with roller rockers, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley 750
double pumper carb, and HEI ignition. The motor has about 5000 miles since it's rebuild and I have receipts from
the machine shop for the work performed. The motor pulls STRONG and idle's nicely with a slight lope but nothing
crazy. It has good oil pressure and never runs hot even on 95 degree days.
All of that power runs through a brand new Ram clutch to a brand new Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission. I
installed the Tremec this November and it currently has about 500-600 miles on the trans and clutch. When I did the
transmission swap from a Muncie 4 speed to a Tremec, I had the flywheel resurfaced, installed a brand new clutch
and throw out bearing, and also a roller pilot bearing. The Tremec transmission has the Hurst Blackjack offset
shifter which relocates the shifter to sit perfectly in the factory console. Unless you look underneath or closely
at the 5 speed pattern on the shift ball, you would never be able to tell that this car has a 5 speed. If you've
never drivine a Musclecar with an overdrive transmission, you don't know what you are missing. This car has the
best of both worlds. Around town it's an absolute beast with a 396 and 3:73 gears but get it out on the highway and
shift up into 5th and the cruising RPM's drop to about 2300 at 65 mph. It's fantastic.
The rest of the drivetrain is also in outstanding condition. The rear is a 12 bolt posi with Strange axles. At the
beginning of the summer I took the car to a well known hot rod shop to have a new exhaust system installed (more on
that shortly) and they noticed some slight gear oil dripping from the right brake drum. I had them pull it apart
and my right rear axle bearing had worn slightly into the axle shaft. Rather than do a cheap fix, I had them
install 2 brand new Strange axles along with new bearings and seals. Because the gear oil had gotten on the brake
shoes, I went with all new shoes, wheel cylinders, and spring kits. The rear has an Eaton posi unit along with
Richmond 3:73 gears. The entire drivetrain is solid, powerful, and a blast to drive.
The exhaust system consists of Hooker Super Comp ceramic coated headers that run back to a brand new 2-1/2" mandrel
bent exhaust system with Spintech mufflers. This car had Flowmaster's on it when I first got it and I felt like it
sounded like every single other car at a cruise night so I did some research and decided on Spintech Mufflers. They
sound healthy, flow really well, and look great tucked under the car. I took the car to Trick Works in Telford Pa
to have them custom install the entire exhaust system. They did a fantastic job of tucking the mandrel bent system
up under the car and setting the tailpipes just how I wanted with a slant cut that sits even with the rear quarter
panel.
As for the interior of the car, the dash, door panels, seats, headliner and console are all in outstanding
condition. The car has an aftermarket stereo along with rear speakers. The stereo sounds good and also has an input
plug so you can play music through your Ipod. Everything works such as wipers, heat, tilt column, turn signals, and
lights. Yes the car does have a tilt column, along with a Vintage Air A/C unit. The entire Vintage air system was
installed with the new motor and works fantastic. It blows nice and cold and has it's own custom control panel that
mounts right where the original heater controls were mounted. That's the beauty of this car. It has the classic
lines of a 73 Camaro but you can roll up your windows turn up the A/C, listen to your Ipod, all while cruising the
highway in 5th gear.
The wheels are 17" polished Torque Thrusts with 245/40/17's on the front and 275/50/17's onthe rear. The wheels and
tires fit perfectly and don't rub at all. The car has a fantastic rake yet sits nicely enough to not look slammed.
The 17" wheels and tires fill out the wheel wells so nicely that I don't think I'd ever go back to a 15" wheel. The
tires are brand new Nitto's.
I have taken tons of pictures along with 2 videos of the car to try to describe it as best as I can. I will be
adding the video's later today for your viewing. Feel free to send me an email address and I will include
additional pictures.

GM promises to add 20 EVs and fuel-cell cars to lineup, paid for by SUVs
Mon, Oct 2 2017DETROIT — General Motors outlined plans on Monday to add 20 new battery electric and fuel-cell vehicles to its global product lineup by 2023, financed by robust profits from sales of gasoline-fueled trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States and China. "General Motors believes in an all-electric future," GM global product development chief Mark Reuss said on Monday during a briefing at the company's suburban Detroit technical center. Future generations of GM electric vehicles "will be profitable," Reuss said, but added it was not clear when GM could make all its new vehicle offerings zero-emission electric cars. Regulators in China and some European countries have floated proposals to ban internal combustion engines by 2030 or 2040. "We will continue to make sure our internal combustion engines will get more and more efficient," Reuss said. GM shares were up more than 4 percent in midday New York trading on positive comments from Rod Lache, auto analyst at Deutsche Bank. Automakers, including electric vehicle market leader Tesla, lose money on electric cars because battery costs are still higher than comparable internal combustion engines. The company offered sneak peeks of three EV prototypes: a Buick SUV, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM funds its forays into new technology using a river of cash generated by old-technology vehicles popular with its core customer base in the United States heartland. In comparison, Tesla has burned through an estimated $10 billion in cash and has yet to show a full year profit. GM earned more than 90 percent of its $12.5 billion in pretax profits last year in North America, amid robust demand for its lineup of large sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks. The company's profitable operations in China rely on consumer demand for an expanding lineup of gasoline powered SUVs. GM has previously announced plans to make some of its future electric vehicles capable of driving themselves in robot taxi fleets. The company offered sneak peeks of three electric vehicle prototypes: a Buick brand sport utility vehicle, a sporty Cadillac wagon and a futuristic pod car wearing a Bolt badge. GM collaborated with Korean battery maker LG Chem to build the Bolt battery system. Company officials did not say what companies would supply batteries for the larger fleet of vehicles promised by 2023. Fuel-cell vehicles will also play a role in GM's future, the company said.
Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt
Sat, Sep 12 2015The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
