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.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
