Up for sale is a very nice MARYLAND INSPECTED 1986 Camaro Z-28 2 owner survivor with 81K original miles - VIN # 1G1FP87H2GN148804
Please note: I could only upload 24 pics to ebay - but I have over 100 PICS and More Info posted here: www.aceweb.us This Z-28 was built in February 1986 at the GM plant in Norwood, Ohio. It was sold to its original owner on Sept. 10th, 1986 by the Chevy dealer in Middletown, MD with 10 miles on the odometer (see pics) The next documentation available is the Maryland Emissions Inspection showing that the car passed emissions on November 13th, 1996 with 24,000 miles on it at the time. So, in its first 10 years, this Z-28 averaged only 2,400 miles per year. The AutoCheck Report is impressive – it shows an AutoCheck Score of 50 with 2 owners (I am the 2nd owner). The report also shows that this Z-28 had regular Registration Renewals every 2 years from 1995 to 2010 with a new title issued in March 2010 with 71,000 miles. In August 2013 a duplicate title was issued and then the last event on the report is when I purchased the car in September 2013 with 79,953 miles. Just so you know, I am a “car guy” and a “perfectionist nut case” …. So I set off on a mission to go through this car from top to bottom, I like everything working perfectly as it did when the car was new. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment were completely original. All of the factory wiring harnesses, clips, clamps, connectors… etc, were correct and untouched. After a good cleaning I started by flushing and changing all of the fluids:
From there, I scanned the ECM and found a Code 21 (throttle position sensor) - Code 15 (coolant temperature sensor) – and a Code 44 (oxygen sensor). I replaced all of the sensors, cleared the codes and scanned again with no problems found. The Oxygen Sensor and Coolant Temp. Sensor were new – I had a good Throttle Position Sensor in my parts box that I used. The On Board Diagnostics system works correctly - just ground the diagnostic terminal under the dash and the ECM flashes Code 12 on the SES (check engine) light as it should. From there I drove it a few miles to make sure no other codes would set – and with no codes, I went deeper into the engine with:
I pulled the original carburetor (Electronic 4BBL Quadrajet) and sent it to Carburetor USA in New Jersey for a very detailed professional rebuild. When I got the carb back it looked brand new – base adjustments done and ready to go. After installation, I adjusted the automatic choke, idle speed (high and low) , throttle valve cable - and the Electronic Idle Load Compensator which increases the idle slightly when the A/C or electric cooling fan is on. The A/C blows cold – there are no leaks, in fact, the system was still under full pressure when it was converted it to R134. With the rebuilt carburetor and all of the new tune up parts the car runs great. The automatic choke works correctly, the car starts as it should (hot or cold) , idles smooth and winds up quickly without hesitation. The transmission upshifts and downshifts smoothly and quietly as it should. I am a “nut” when it comes to “rattles and squeaks” so I literally went around and tightened the entire car. There are no annoying rattles, squeaks, clinks, clanks, clunks or thunks. On the road, this car runs great. I get out on the highway and set the Cruise Control at 65mph and it just cruises along as nice as can be. At 65 mph the tach reads about 2750 rpm, Oil Pressure reads 45 lbs with a Water Temp. of 160-170 degrees (see pics). A nice cool running engine is an engine that lasts a long time. The electric cooling fan system works exactly as it should. At about 235-240 degrees the fan kicks on and then kicks off again about a minute later when the water temp. goes down to about 210 degrees - the Idle Load Compensator increases the RPM slightly whenever the fan is on. While is was under the hood, I also installed:
The underside of the car is clean, solid and rust free other than a little surface rust here and there as one would expect on a car of this age. There are no fluid leaks that I can see – it’s clean and dry from front to back. After all of that work the Z-28 was running like a top, so I started turning my attention to the exterior cosmetics. The car was repainted at some point, but I have no way of knowing how long ago. It appears to be a decent paint job and the paint shows very nicely as seen in the pics. It looks like they taped off the original Rally Stripes so the car still has the original Rally Stripes as far as I can tell. There are no runs or overspray issues to speak of. All in all, it’s a very nice clean looking car for its age. Going by the Hagerty definitions – I would consider this a strong #3 car. After a good exterior cleaning I got started on the exterior with:
The doors don’t sag – the hinges are tight – so with the new weatherstrip kit installed, the doors close crisp and tight. There is no wind noise while driving and no water leaks at all when sitting or driving in the rain. So… with all of that done, I moved on to the interior. This car has the original stock interior that is in good condition for its age. There is the normal fading on the seats, but other than a wear spot on the side of the driver seat and small spot on the driver’s side rear seat bottom, the seats are in good original condition with no rips or tears. The dash pad is slightly warped but has no cracks – the door panel backings have seen better days but still look okay. The rear hatch area is in good overall condition – original spare tire – electronic hatch release and pull down work correctly – rear window defogger and third brake light also work correctly – as does the optional courtesy light in the rear hatch area. I pulled the spare tire and took pics of the wheel well (see pics) – bone dry and no rust issues here. While I had the spare tire out, I also installed a repro “jacking instructions” decal to the inside of the spare tire cover (see pics) I got started on the interior with a good cleaning – I took all of the seats out and used a professional steam cleaning machine on the carpet, door panels, seats and rear hatch area – then let it dry for 2 full days in the hot summer sun with the T-tops off and the doors open. It cleaned up very nicely and shows as an original interior in good condition for its age. After the cleaning I went ahead with:
That’s as far as I went with the interior. This Z-28 still has the original rear hatch shade which extends and retracts properly. It has the original (and rare) Z-28 Document Pouch that snaps up under the passenger side dash board – it has the original T-Top storage bag and it also has a pair of period correct T-Top Sun Shades. The “Glove Box” in the rear hatch area looks as if it’s never been used – the lock works perfectly as do the T-top locks and even the original courtesy light in the rear hatch area. I also have a fair amount of documentation that goes with the car (see pics). All in all – this is a great car for the money. It’s MARYLAND INSPECTED, it’s clean, it’s safe, it’s original, it’s correct, it’s straight, it’s dependable and after all of this work, its ready to run and drive anywhere with confidence. I was planning to keep going with it by redoing the interior but I decided instead to sell the Z-28 so I can restore my 1986 Firebird which was my first new car – I was recently able to reacquire it and now I want to restore it. This Z-28 would be a great “starter car” for young folks wanting a classic – it’s great if you want a nice classic car at a reasonable and affordable price – and it would be a great “family” classic and make for lots of family fun at local car shows. Values on these Third Gen Camaros are starting to increase so it’s a good investment too! IF YOU WANT MORE PICS PLEASE LET ME KNOW This Z-28 is an honest car and I am an honest “car guy” – these are the issues that I have found but not addressed. 1. the radio/cassette player does not work 2. the headliner needs to be recovered 3. small ding on driver’s side front fender 4. small scratch on driver’s door which has been touched up 5. body side molding on driver’s door is coming loose at one end 6. fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge “flutter” intermittently. 7. rear window defogger switch has a cosmetic blemish but works fine 8. needs fuse panel cover clip and diagnostic plug cover under the dash Based on the Hagerty definitions, this is a stong #3 car – and Hagerty shows an average value of $8,400 so this is your chance to get a great car and a great deal too!

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars
Sun, Jan 11 2015Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce
Malcolm Butler gets the MVP's Chevy Colorado
Wed, Feb 11 2015In the wake of the Super Bowl last week, we reported that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intended to give the Chevy Colorado awarded to him as the game's most valuable player to Malcolm Butler instead. In our informal poll (to say nothing of the hundred-plus comments that ensued), an overwhelming 86.7 percent of you, our loyal readers, agreed that it was the right thing to do. And now that's precisely what's happened. "After consulting Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady," the automaker said in the press release below, "Chevrolet presented an all-new Colorado pickup to New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler." The rookie, as you may have seen in between the commercials, made the game-saving interception that handed his team the victory, propelling Butler to stardom. "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado," said Butler upon taking delivery of his new red pickup. "It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." We can only imagine. Enjoy the truck, Malcolm; you've earned it. Related Video: Upon Further Review, Chevrolet Awards Super Bowl MVP Colorado to Malcolm Butler 2015-02-10 DETROIT – After consulting Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, Chevrolet presented an all-new Colorado pickup to New England Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, whose end zone interception preserved the Patriots' victory in Super Bowl XLIX. The Colorado was intended to be awarded to Brady, the Patriots' quarterback, in recognition of his Super Bowl Most Valuable Player award. However, Brady and Chevrolet huddled on Monday and Chevrolet determined Butler deserved recognition for his game-saving interception. "I've seen several game-changing moments in big games, and Malcom's interception last Sunday ranks up there as one of the biggest," said Brady. "I appreciate Chevrolet wanting to honor the Super Bowl's top performer, and I'm glad they have agreed to award the Colorado to Malcolm." Said Butler: "I am ecstatic that Chevrolet has chosen to reward me with a Colorado. It is just another unreal event in what has been an incredible week." The Chevrolet Colorado, 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year®, was engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and most technologically advanced midsize truck in the market. With class-leading horsepower and fuel economy along with a 4G LTE built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, the Colorado adds a new dimension to the Chevy truck line.
