1986 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z28 on 2040-cars
Huntley, Illinois, United States
|
This Iroc-Z was the loaded Camaro of its time. It originally came with the 5.0 V8 (F). I believe I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car in 2002. At that time the owner had bought a BRE 383 Stroker crate motor (approx. $5,000). He started a family and had to sell so I bought it and invested a lot of money in finishing off the build. The biggest cost was installing a fully laptop tunable Accel 6.0 DFI Engine Management System. Several years ago a rod broke and I had the motor fully rebuilt. I changed careers and didn’t even pull it out (other than occasional starts) for a couple years there to save money but it only has about 2,500 miles on it since the rebuild. I am currently driving it and I baby it. I would guess it hasn’t been over 70 mph since the rebuild. New performance heads were added during the rebuild and the engine builder estimated the motor setup should make around 500 horse. Moreover, torque is really what this motor is known for. I have not dyno tested it however. I do know simply with street tires I cannot hook up the power without easing on the pedal; it can also spin the tires easy upon shifting around 50 mph. It’s an absolute monster and has the complete quality sound of a well-built muscle car from idle to cruising. As you can tell from the pictures the paint looks great. The previous owner had it repainted and you can see there are no black lines around the bottom of the car like many Irocs, and I think it looks so much sharper.
It’s a very tough decision to sell since I think of the work and money that went into making it run so strong and clean as it does now. However I’ve wanted to also experience other vehicles and can’t without money from this car. I am looking to get a 47-53 pickup and would be open to such trades.
Issues: There is minor/surface rust as seen in the pics in small areas under the hood, hatch, and inside bottom of the doors. I sprayed these with rust stop and have garaged/stored the car so the rust hasn’t really changed at all in the 12 years I’ve had it. It could easily be repaired if you wanted to spend time on it. Other minor things that are cheap fixes that I just haven’t had time to do: Needs new wire or connecter for wipers as they shut off but sometimes it takes many turns to get it, headlights take a couple times to shut off, gear selector indicator can stick and doesn’t always show what gear you are in, psgr door lock works but seems a little tired, dash is in perfect shape except one corner (see pic). Steering wheel could use a rewrap.
I will list some of the mods but there are too many to list everything. I have tons of receipts. My guess is the spending on upgrades/rebuilds alone is $20,000. I have original parts including the original red seats (faded but no tears), a/c, and extra set of T-tops that go with the car. Within last 10,000 miles rebuilt 700R4 transmission. B&M Shift kit B&M ratchet shifter TCS Torque (stall) Converter Tires-2 fronts est. 8-10,000 miles on them, 1 of the rear about 2,000 miles, the other rear unsure but still fine BRE 383 Stoker with all the bells and whistles from pistons, cam, lifters ect…. Edelbrock T.E.S Headers into 3 inch pipe, high flow cat converter, and $$$ Borla exhaust with intercooled tips Edelbrock Hi-Flo TPI Manifold 30lb. fuel injectors BMR 3 point strut tower brace Lakewood adjustable panhard bar SSM subframe connectors Aftermarket rear control trailing arms Bilstein shocks Racing bucket seats Brakes: Front -Wilwood Discs, pads, and 4 piston calipers, Back-New stock discs, pads, rotors in about the last 10,000 miles Pioneer speakers and Pioneer EQ adjustable 4X45wts CD player New black carpet (original carpet was too faded red) New window switches New head liner cover and speaker covers … $500 due immediately upon auction close. Accepted methods of payment are PayPal and cash (no personal checks). If necessary we could meet at a bank for a money order/cashier's check. The car can be picked up/driven away or shipped. You will have to arrange any shipping but I’d be happy to help with it as needed. Feel free to ask me any questions. Thanks for looking!

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet
Mon, May 12 2014Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
