1985 Camaro Iroc-z on 2040-cars
Ocklawaha, Florida, United States
Ok,up for bidding is my 85 Iroc-Z..it is all original other than the
paint,tires,battery,carpet,headliner and stereo..it was recently re
painted and was done right..doors were removed,all interior
removed..etc.. Basically the complete car was taken apart other than
drivetrain,painted
in pieces and re assembled with some new parts that needed replaced..things that were replaced are as follows. Door to window weatherstripping.(window sweeps) Front windshield(safelite) Trunk/hatch seal(lone star) Exterior door handles.(a+auto) Carpet(acc auto carpets) Headliner(installed the new style ABS plastic backing board and reupholstered in factory correct material)(acme brand) the rear speaker covers were also reupholstered in the same material Tires..245/50/16 (falkens) Wheel centercaps( GM licensed parts) Parking light housings(brand new GM parts) Fog light grill(brand new GM part) Door hinge bushings,rollers and pins(hawks 3rd gen) That's all that had to be replaced,everything else was still in great condition and just needed cleaning.. Re assembly was done very carefully and put back to all factory specs.The power drivers seat works in all 6 positions and both front seats still even have the plastic covers that Chevrolet added to cover the ugly metal seat tracks.The doors open and close beautifully..just like they were when the car was new. The rear window louvers I was told were original to the car too but I do not see them included on the window sticker or the invoice so I don't know for sure if they were or not..they come with the car regardless and can easily be removed if you don't like them. I have the clean carfax report on the car that was done on 4/10/2014..it has been a Florida car it's entire life and it shows..I also have the dealership invoice and window sticker for the car so anyone can see that this is a true legitimate Iroc-Z and not just any car wrapped in stickers and badges..it is not showroom condition underneath but is very clean and rust free..still sports the original exhaust system and catalytic converter..just had a synthetic oil change,all suspension greased and brakes gone through..one of the wheel cylinders were leaking so they were both replaced..has the original Iroc aluminum drums on the rear brakes. The original wheels are in great shape with very minor scrapes on the lip of one front..none are cracked or bent.. The interior as you can see in the pics is almost absolutely perfect..the front seatbelts are a little dirty and there are 2 very small cracks in the plastic stitching on the driver side..not too bad for a nearly 30 year old car.. The dash pad is in excellent condition with no visible cracks..(there is one small crack just behind the windshield on the driver side that is not even noticeable..if anyone wants to see a pic of this crack I will gladly add a photo of it. All options the car came with can be seen in the pic of the dealer invoice I have attached and everything it came with is still on/in the car and in working condition except the factory floor mats..those are long gone.. The bad on this car..it has the notorious chevrolet puff of smoke at start up from bad valve seals..car has been stored quite awhile and thus causing the seals to dry out and most likely break..the power mirrors are not working,I am assuming the control switch is bad..and the air conditioning works but when it is running the compressor clutch constantly runs engaged..it does not cycle on and off like it's designed to do..not sure if this can really be classified as a (bad) thing since it is in working condition and blows super cold,just want all information disclosed that I am aware of. One thing it could probably use besides the valve seals is new front sway bar bushings..they look pretty worn and sloppy..I have a new set that will be included with the car..I may even put them on the car if my time permits.. And lastly,the power antenna does not go down.. Other than that,everything seems fine with the car,the engine is very strong and responsive..the transmission shifts smooth..and the car handles awesome!! Also has the original spare tire with the jack and the inflator can for the spacesaver spare tire. I am selling this car to build a convertible camaro that I had to have..otherwise I would just keep it hidden in my garage and drive it occasionally.Unfortunately I don't have room to keep them both. Car will come with the history report,the dealer invoice,the window sticker,owners manual and the sales brochure booklet. Here is some of the history I found on the rarity of the color..this information I obtained from The iroc zone..it is a website dedicated to documentation and just for enghusiasts of these cars. 1985 was the introduction year of the iroc-z and was also the introduction year of the 215 hp. tuned port injection engine..of all 21,177 Irocs produced in its first year only around 3,000 of them were painted in the code 50 yellow. This is everything I can think of that I know about the car so,as always,feel free to ask any questions and I will get them answered ASAP..if you want to talk to me one on one just message me a name,number and best time to call. Thank you

On May-06-14 at 18:15:23 PDT, seller added the following information: I just want to add some info here..I didn't prepare this listing very well and I apologize for adding the info now,but I cannot make edits on the mobile app so had to wait until I could do it from home pc....like I said to begin with,I want to disclose everything I know about the car.If I would have known there would be this much activity on the listing this early I would have spent more time proofreading it and taken notes before posting..here are the things I want to mention. On May-07-14 at 16:11:17 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi,just adding an update for everyone that is interested and have been watching this...I tried the new tach filter and oil pressure switch today and no luck,the oil pressure gauge and tachometer are still reading higher than they should be..so looks like some attention to the gauge cluster itself will be required if it bothers the new owner that they do not read accurately..the battery,fuel and temp gauges all seem to be reading accurately.. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
