Up for sale is this very fun, customized, Mad Maxian 83 Chevy Camaro. I've had this car for 3 years and it has been a blast. I need more room in the garage and so now its time to let the baby go. I bought this car to race autocrosses with, not knowing really what autocrosses were all about, so I decided to track down a car from my youth. I had no idea that a stock 30 year old car wasn't really the best choice. More on that later. This was a Michigan car and in surprising great condition considering the kind of winters Michigan gets. Virtually rust free. Got it home and did my first autocross. That's when the Camaro began to change.
For those of you who don't know what autocrosses are, its basically a big go-kart track made out of cones in a parking lot. You drive through the course as fast as you can without hitting any cones. Immensly fun considering you never go more than 45 mph. This is where I learned that my Camaro was not as up to the task of an autocross as say, a Miata. Thus my adventure began with one goal. Go faster and turn better. Here's a list of the changes: Interior Gutted the interior. Took apart the dash and removed all duct work. Removed heat exchanger. Removed seats. New GT steering wheel. New Sunpro temp gauge. New Sunpro boost gauge (there is no turbo-I just like dials) Installed green indicator light for electric fans. Removed AC and heating control panel. Removed radio. Installed racing seat. Installed 4 point harness. Painted interior black. Exterior/engine Painted the car black using the "wet look". Very unique. Kind of feels like rhino liner. Appears matte black. Confuses everyone who looks at it. Swapped out stock headlights for round ones. 16" 84 Corvette rims with 265/45ZR16 tires all around. A bit bald. 2.75in wheel spacers to accomodate the corvette tires. Installed lowering springs all around - approx 2in drop. New adjustable Summit Racing shocks in the rear. New gas filled struts in the front. New ball joints. New poly steering bushings. New steering gearbox fast ratio. New steering shaft with no rag joint (custom aftermarket) New radiator. New transmission cooler. New subframe connectors installed (bolt-in). 2 New electric fans - 10 and 14in I believe. New Wonderbar in addition to front anti-sway bar (old). Removed mechanical engine fan. Removed A/C system. Removed windshield wiper container. New distributor cap. New wires. New 165 degree thermostat installed. New thermostat sensor installed. Disconnected computer. Installed new plugs this year. New carb hat. Custom cold air intake with washable Spectre cone filter. Custom exhaust headers with no catalytic converter 2.25in half pipe half flex pipe going to single cherry bomb. New rear anti-sway bar. Changed rear differential fluid and seal. I believe that's all. Alot of blood sweat and beers went into this puppy. It's not for everybody as its obviously been played with a lot by me as well as the previous owner. I didn't do much to the engine really. Changed the oil a bunch, always used conventional. Always ran premium gas. Transmission fluid has been drained and refilled since I've had it as well as the coolant. New brake fluid. I've only put 1896 miles on the car so its been babied really. Someone before me did an engine swap. 350's weren't offered in 83. I believe a rebuilt 1980 truck engine was dropped in (thats all I could find out based on engine codes). Someone else also did the cat removal. Other than that when I got it, it was pretty much stock. Its a blast to drive. Burnouts are no problem (only one tire though). Loud, strong pull, solid shifting. Steering has been greatly improved. Virtually no body roll. Very fun at autocross now! Comes with a few extras: Original set of berlinetta rims. New set of brake pads. A muffler I used for a little while. An extra cherry bomb - had both running one year but it was too loud! Spare tire. Great project car. Could be good for true racing - throw a roll cage in there. Feel free to ask any questions - I will do my best to answer them. No warranties - No returns! A $250 - Deposit is required within 48 hours of the close of auction. Buyer will have 7 days to pickup or remove the vehicle. Car is listed locally. I reserve the right to close the auction early if it sells. Below are some vids of it in action 070514 National Trail |

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs
Tue, Oct 13 2015General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component.

Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.
GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers
Fri, Jan 1 2016Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:
