I am listing my 1974 Z28 Camaro that I purchased in 1987 again due to a buyer default on the last auction. I am the third owner and when I purchased the car, I purchased the body and a 10 bolt rear end. I then put a 12 bolt rear end in it with 4:10 Richmond gears. The transmission is a 400 turbo with a shift kit and a 3000 stall converter and the trans was worked on by a local professional. The engine is a 454 bored 30 over with a steel LS 7 crank with dimple rods and 11:1 TRW Pistons. The intake is a twisted torker intake with a Holley 780 carb. The cam is a Competion hydraulic cam (305/ 575), and it has a Pete Jackson gear drive. The heads have double valve springs and Cam Dynamics roller rockers. I don't remember the exact size of the valves in the heads, but they we're ported and polished in the late 90s. It has an HEI ignition with an MSD 7A. There are 2 half inch aluminum fuel lines that run to the front one for the carb and one for the Nitrous. It also has a cheater nitrous system and a B&M ratcheting shifter with the nitrous button on the handle. The headers are new two inch headers and the photo is of new Flow Masters which are three inch and the pipes are three inch also that go with the car and never installed. I never really got the nitrous and the plugs dialed in right, but the car ran consistently in the mid 12 s in the quarter mile with the Hoosier Quicktime d.o.t tires on the back which are screwed to the rims. There is also a new aluminum three core radiator that was just installed this year.
There has never been any metal taken out of the car and the LS 7 scoop on the hood is a mold in type and is cracked around the mold and was like that when I purchased a vehicle. There is some paint chipping on the hood, roof, and trunk deck near the fender wells and rusting on the passenger side and some underneath. The paint job is from the early 80's and has not been painted or touched since. The metallic in the paint is the type that changes colors in the light.
I have not raced this Camaro on the street or strip since the late 90's but have driven it to car shows including this year. It has been in my garage on a cement floor since and starts and runs great. If you live close, we can go for a spin and through the quarter mile on the back road where I still shift it at six grand. I'm selling because I do not have the money to play with it or restore it. Got a sone going to college and others growing up too. This is my baby so let me know if you have any questions.
If you check out the vin, it came with the high horse 350 with the munci four speed and is an LT/Z28. The fifth digit being a "t" signifies the LT/Z28 (1S87T4N172068) The clutch peddle is still in the car wire tied out of the way. If anyone would like a video of the car running or additional photos just let me know.
THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AND IF YOU WANT IT SHIPPPED, YOU'LL HAVE TO ARRANGE THAT ON YOUR END. $500 IS DUE WITHIN 48 HRS AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AND THE BALANCE DUE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS BEING CASH, OR A CASHIER'S CHECK OR MONEY ORDER FROM A U.S. BANK WHICH WE WILL CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR LEAVES.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.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.
Chevy Volt owners log half a billion electric miles, 2015 production starts
Thu, Jun 19 2014As General Motors gets ready to start 2015 Volt production Monday, Chevrolet is looking back at some of the numbers that got the car to where it is today. The headline number is that Volt owners have collectively put more than a half-billion electric miles on their cars. The unsurprising upshot is that, if you went out and bought a Volt, you're pretty keen on getting as many electric miles out of it as possible. 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. The typical Volt driver goes 970 miles between fill-ups, GM says, and that means that 63 percent of all miles are done on battery power. General Motors executive director Larry Nitz gave AutoblogGreen a few more details on the usage habits of Volt drivers, including that 81 percent of commuting miles are electric. Two-thirds of US Volt drivers charge their vehicle 1.4 times a day, a clear indicator of drivers trying to maximize electric miles through opportunity charging. In fact, Nitz said, 90 percent of all Volt trips are done purely on electric power. GM also says that the Volt's official 35 miles of electric range is still doable for many owners who have had their car for more than 30 months. Looking ahead, we know that one upgrade for the 2015 Volt will be 4G LTE connectivity that can turn the car, like others in the GM family, into a mobile wifi hotspot. We're of course much more interested in when GM is finally going to start production of the next-gen Volt, but GM officials would only tell us that they're very excited about the still-secret vehicle, promising we'll be learning more "soon." Nitz did confirm that today's Volt drivers are most interested in three things from the next-gen model: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. He did not say whether or not GM will be able to deliver on those requests. Chevrolet Volt Owners Surpass Half a Billion Electric Miles After 30 months of use, a sampling of Volts shows consistent all-electric range 2014-06-19 DETROIT – Since its launch in late 2010, Chevrolet Volt owners have accumulated more than half a billion all-electric miles. Additionally, based on a General Motors' study of more than 300 Volts in service in California for more than 30 months, many owners are exceeding the EPA-rated label of 35 miles of EV range per full charge, with about 15 percent surpassing 40 miles of range.
The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
