1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Restored Factory Ac 350 on 2040-cars
Selkirk, New York, United States
Up for sale is this immaculate and recently restored numbers matching 1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. This is a rare model Z/28 because it has factory A/C, (which does work). This is the first year for a Z/28 to offer A/C as an option.
The 2-year restoration was completed in early 2019 and the Z/28 has only been driven approximately 4000 since then
The car was totally disassembled, and soda blasted before any work was performed. In the way of bodywork both the
trunk & interior floor pans were replaced, a section of the rear frame, and the right rear quarter panel. The body
was then put on a rotisserie and painted in a 2-stage urethane black w/silver stripes (under the clear). Although
not an original color, the black definitely shows off the quality of the work and straightness of the body.
The entire suspension was taken apart, painted, and had polyurethane bushings added. New shocks, springs, brake
system, and 15” powder coated wheels w/ B.F. Goodrich T/A radials 235 x 60R x 15
The interior had new carpeting, upholstery & foam, and headliner. The original gauge cluster (which does come with
the car) was replaced with a Dakota Digital unit. The speedometer and other gauges function normally except the
odometer. Please note that some of the plastic interior pieces were not replaced and show a little age. Items
like the shifter cover, face of the gauge cluster, and some of the window trim.
All of the wiring is original, and the lights turn signals, etc. function normally. LED headlights were added.
The originals are included. As mentioned, the A/C does work and blows cold air, but the switch works only on two
positions. Off and high
As far as the 350 c.i./175 h.p. engine, Turbo 350 transmission, and 10-bolt rear differential, they appear to be
numbers matching to the car and documentation shows they were rebuilt by the prior owner and have approximately
15000 miles on them.
Some of the additional new equipment include new hoses, flushed radiator, rebuilt A/C compressor, power steering
pump, battery, gas tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, Edelbrock air cleaner, carb, & intake (original carb is included
with the car), in-line fuel filter, and an MSD distributor.
Additionally, a set of 4.11 posi-traction gears were added by one of the prior owners. Speedometer has been
calibrated for this gear ratio.

GM’s Charlie Wilson was right: Stronger regulations can help U.S. automakers
Fri, Oct 26 2018Charlie Wilson had been the president and CEO of General Motors before being nominated to become secretary of defense by Dwight Eisenhower. During his Senate confirmation hearings, he controversially said, "For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors, and vice versa." And he was right. While car companies aren't necessarily the most progressive when it comes to things that might have the slightest possibility of political blowback, General Motors should be credited for doing something absolutely forthright in this regard with its announcement that it wants the federal U.S. government not to squash the California Air Resources Board's emissions requirements but to actually create a 50-state "National Zero Emissions Vehicle" program that, in the words of Mark Reuss, executive vice president and president, Global Product Group and Cadillac, "will drive the scale and infrastructure investments needed to allow the U.S. to lead the way to a zero emission future." Filing comments to the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks is one thing. But a graphic the company developed for this announcement — shown above — is something else entirely, something that is absolutely credible, creative and clever. There is a photo of a Chevrolet Bolt EV driving along a highway, which seems to be in Marin County (based on the blurred San Francisco skyline in the background). Text on the photo states: "It's Time for American Leadership in Zero Emissions Vehicles." It seems to say, in effect, "If we want to make America great again, then we're going to do it by leading in technology, not by retreating behind weakened regulations." General Motors understands that the auto market is globally competitive, and if U.S.-based companies are going to be in the game, then they'd better be able to out-innovate the companies based elsewhere, where emissions and economy standards are not being weakened. What's good for our country ... Related Video:
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
