I bought this car to restore for myself, but have decided to concentrate on getting my sons Z28 done. This Camaro is a great restoration project. It is a 1979 Camaro RS, 90% original. The car was side swiped on the RH side in 1994. The RH fender, RH inner fender well and right door were damaged and were non repairable. The previous owner bought a NOS right fender and Inner fender well. He bought a used RH door. The rear quarter has damage but is very minor and I would repair it, not replace it. The floor pans are 100% rust free and trunk pan is 100% rust free. The only real rust on the car is the rear sail panel underneath(good luck finding one without it) and then one small spot on the right dogleg behind the right door. Interior is decent but not great. Driver seat has a couple tears in it, right seat is good and the rear seats are very good. Carpet is clean and headliner has been replaced but is once again sagging. The rear interior panels have been painted and look okay. It is driver quality interior. Car has cruise, tilt, A/C, delay wipers, and Rally Wheels. I pulled the rear seat and found the build sheet. Car was ordered for Essig Motors in Washington IL. Car was built in Norwood Ohio. The car has a NOS upper grill in it, lower grill is gone. Front and rear bumper covers are good, taillights are good but have the standard spider cracks in the reverse light lenses. This car is unmolested, still retains the catalytic convertor. Someone did add air shocks and a hitch to the car. Car has a 350 in it and it does run. I disconnected the gas line and had the car running off a gas can. I had it running for about 3-4 minutes as it is missing the radiator but it sounds good. Car is missing radiator, a/c compressor, door pulls, and sill plates. The RS is more rare than the Z28 and I have always wanted one. As soon as I found this one I had to have it. But, having one Camaro in a million pieces right now is enough, and I don't really have the time to do both cars. Located in Cambridge IL.
Also, I had to remove the ignition switch as the previous owner could not locate the keys. However, I removed it as it should so nothing is broken.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker
Wed, May 22 2024When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
