1988 Camaro Iroc Convertible in very good condition. New carpet, top, tires, exhaust. Routine maintenance done since Ive owned the car the last 8ish years. Exterior is very clean with a few, meaning literally 3 to 4 stone chips from driving, paint blemishes. There is no rust, meaning a key will not poke through or even dent the body. The frame is fine but if you expect to see an Emron painted frame, its not there. There are a couple hard to find bubbles near the IROC decals that have been there since Ive owned the car. The body is truely 99% straight, NOT PERFECT. Engine compartment is clean but NOT detailed show. All componants work including PW, PL, PT, PS driver side, PM, AC, CC from the resume button but not from the set button, horn, radio- Pioneer currently in it but original was saved. Top was never stored down. If you have had a convertible and kept the top down for any length of time, it messes up the back window. Wheels are decent. Look good in pics but two DO HAVE some curb rash. AGAIN NOT PERFECT. Interior is the weakest but thats relative. The carpet is new but the seats are driver quality NOT SHOW. There is discolored material on the passenger side and a small hole in the driver side fabric.Door panels are near perfect. Console is not cracked nor is the dash. Overall this is a very nice driver quality car. NOT SHOW. It would do well at a local Dog and Suds type show but not true judged for points show. DO NOT expect this car to be a show stopper. I would put this car at a high #3+ to 2- using the collector car guide. If you happen to be an actual car guy, you know that NADAs guide is full of sh$t and not even close to realistic values. That is why I dont base any car sales or purchases off that junk. I am more than happy to let you come inspect, drive, have a friend check out the car, whatever, just dont wait until the day before and ask me to drop everything to make it happen. Check my feedback. Im an Oldsmobile collector and bought this for my wife because she thinks a Cutlass is too big. A Corvette was not going to happen for her so she got this instead. It has been rarely driven so its time to go. I can be available to ship but THATS ON YOU to set up and make happen. I can email any pics you want. Send me your direct email and Ill get on it. Title is in hand. Regards

Forgot to add. Any extra parts in the garage go with the car. I wont have any need for them. Dont have a head count but remember a taillite assembly, an extra upper plastic conv cover, door panel and probably switches for back ups.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

GM patent reveals new two-stage turbocharger

Fri, Jun 24 2016

Modern turbochargers may be some of the best ever made, but performance is something that engineers are always trying to improve. According to GM Inside News, General Motors (GM) is hoping to alleviate some of the negative aspects of a two-stage turbocharger setup with a newly-patented design. The patent, that was filed on May 19, 2016, reveals a clever bypass system that allows the engine, a four-cylinder unit, to optimize both the low-pressure and high-pressure inlets for its respective functions. According to the filing, a conventional two-stage turbocharger setup is engineered to allow both turbines to operate simultaneously at low and mid engine speeds. At high engine speeds, only the low-pressure turbine works. The setup can't isolate either the low or high pressure side, which can impair low-end performance. GM's new two-stage turbocharger setup looks to eliminate this by linking the high-pressure turbo to the exhaust manifold through the high-pressure inlet duct. The low-pressure turbo is attached to the high-pressure turbo by a low-pressure inlet duct, which is linked to a connecting channel. A single actuator that is housed in the exhaust manifold creates a bypass that can opens the high-pressure inlet or close the connecting channel. Depending on what the engine load and speed is, the ECU guides the actuator—a single rotating spindle with discs corresponding to flanges on the high and low pressure sidesÂ—to isolate one of the two turbos. Isolating the turbos allow the respective inlets to be engineered for the best possible fluid dynamic performance. The setup should increase performance and decrease lag. There's no word on what car this setup will make an appearance on, but it will most likely be used in premium vehicles before trickling down to the rest of GM's vehicles.

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
