This is a 1981 Chevrolet Camaro with the factory Z28 Option. 1981 was the last year body style for the second generation "F Bodies". This car is in very good to excellent condition physically and mechanically. The car has spent the vast majority of its last 33 years in Georgia. I have personally inspected the floor pans and trunk pan and they are in excellent condition. This is a really solid rust free car that I drive on weekends when the weather permits. Listed below is a summary of the car's current condition: Paint and Body: The car was repainted red in the past few years, originally is was a brown car. It looks excellent but is not a show quality paint job. I would score it an 8 on a 10 point scale. The body on the car is rock solid. I have a car fax that I found in the car from 2008 which shows no reported accidents or damage. All of the window glass is factory original and marked Soft Ray. I have inspected the frame on a lift and do not see anything unusual. The car was reported with 51,775 miles in 2008 and has 56,836 today. I have no way of knowing the true mileage as the title was marked exempt by GA many years ago. This car spent most of its life in Albany, GA and has no rust in the floors or trunk. The trunk has not been splatter painted and we can pull the interior carpet for inspection should you wish. There is nothing to hide with this car from that perspective. All of the factory decals are in place and the car is certainly a high end driver as it stands today. The wheels are the factory option N90 alloy wheels and they are in excellent condition. They have all 4 center caps and the original black alloy lug nuts. There is a matching set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires in size 245/60/15 that are in excellent condition. Interior: I have just replaced the carpet. The dash has two cracks that I have filled rather than installing a dash cap. It is not an unsightly crack and filled pretty well. The original seats are in good condition, however, there is a split in the drivers seat base. Rear seats are in excellent condition. The car is equipped with a custom sound system which includes a period correct Alpine cassette player with new Rockford Fosgate speakers. All of the gauges work with the exception of the clock. All of the lights (dome, courtesy, trunk) work. The cigarette lighter works. The seat belt buzzer works. This car has not been disassembled as most have and everything is there and works as it should as I have found. If I were going to replace anything in the interior it would be the door panels and the weather seals at the door. They look good but are not perfect with imperfections from age. The headliner and trim are in good condition and it is all there. Engine and Mechanicals: The engine is the numbers matching 350ci motor and I have matched the last 6 digits to the VIN. I have felt above the gas tank and can state that the build sheet is still there and available to the next owner. I have looked the motor over and all of the factory connections and parts are still there. It still has it original Rochester carburetor and has not been modified. The A/C will work but needs to be recharged. I have just replaced the entire exhaust system with a stainless dual Flow Master set up which set me back almost $600. All of the fluids have been recently changed and the motor runs and idles flawlessly. I also changed out the spark plugs and air filter this past weekend. This car sits in my garage and does not leak oil or transmission fluid to speak of. I have not invested any time making the motor look pretty. It is all there and original to the best of my knowledge and sounds and runs great. This is an area where the next owner can take the car to the next level. The engine bay needs to be detailed but there is no rust to deal with (including the core support, it is solid). All of the lights and signals work, the horn works, the wipers work. The power windows work. The power door locks work sometimes (actuators are weak). The engine idles at 600 rpm with a great loping sound, it runs great and the transmission shifts as it should. There is no smoke or smells coming from the engine bay or exhaust. The car is also equipped with air shocks on the rear. If you take the time to check my feedback you will see that every couple of years I sell a car. All of my feedback has been positive. If you have questions, please ask. I am selling this car to purchase a new Jeep Liberty for my daughter for her high school graduation. Other than that, the car can sit right where it is sitting today. I have a clear title in my name along with odds and ends like the 81 dealership brochure and original magazine articles on the car. My buy it now is set at $11,250. A couple of weeks ago a similar car was bid up to $13,400 but did not meet reserve. Haggerty estimates the value of the car at $14,000 for a #3 car. The values on the 2nd generation "F Bodies" continue to rise and solid cars are hard to find. If you have read this far....thank you for your interest. If you need additional photos or have any questions please contact me through ebay. |

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Chevy 1500 454 SS with just 7 miles
Sun, Jan 4 2015When trawling the classifieds either on a buying mission or merely a time-wasting mission, we spend a lot of time poring over photographs comparing the seller's idea of "Like New!" with our idea of it. It's hard to argue with seven original miles on the odometer, though, which is what this 1990 Chevrolet 1500 454 SS has. It's being sold by Country Chevrolet on eBay, the same dealer who sold the truck to its one and only owner 25 years ago. The purchaser bought two of them and left this one in a garage under a car cover, said garage being less than seven miles away from the showroom floor. Better yet, you can buy with confidence because the seller "has collected all records," which we expect would be the slimmest manilla folder in the history of receipt-keeping. For those unfamiliar, the 454 SS was a half-ton, regular cab, 2WD pickup powered by a 454 cubic inch (7.4-liter) V8 with 230 horsepower and 385 pound-feet of torque shifting through a three-speed transmission. This was at the same time the Chevrolet Corvette used a 5.7-liter V8 producing 250 hp and 350 lb-ft. The pickup rode on exclusive wheels and only came in black with red cloth inside. The only extra-cost option on this example is an $18 locking fuel filler cap, which, according to the 454ss forum, means it should have cost about $18,460 out the door, the equivalent of about $34,000 today. At the time of writing there are zero bids, but proceedings open at $45,000 and Country Chevrolet wants $49,000 if you have to have your time capsule right now.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

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.
