I have a black, manual transmission, 1998 V6 Chevy Camaro for sale. The car has ~118,000 miles on it and it comes with two sets of tires and rims. A set of winter tires is currently on the car and these are mounted on Z28 rims. The stock rims have all-season tires and one tire didn't pass inspection, so I didn't put that set on it. You'll need to replace two of the tires. The other two have life left on them. I do have another all-season radial not on a rim that will work and your welcome to take it. It will replace the tire that didn't pass inspection, but the treads won't match. Suffice it to say, this car comes with lots of tires and rims.
Here are some details about the car.
The car is a good runner! It has only been driven in the summer and early fall for the last six years and has probably seen maybe 1,500 miles a year since then. There's nothing mechanically outstanding about this vehicle. It has the original exhaust that runs fine. The undercarriage is in good shape. The brakes are in fine shape and the car passed inspection without a problem (except for the one tire). The brakes do NOT pulsate, which is common with the Camaro if driven in the snow. It has not been driven in the snow in six years. The interior is in good shape, although there is wear and age on some panels. Fog lights work perfectly. All the window motors are working, but a little slow. The power locks, trunk release, and security system work fine. The air conditioner works fine and blasts frigid-cold air very well. The battery was replaced in 2009. The alternator was replaced in 2010. All the marker lights, turn signals, and headlights are operational. It comes with two new remotes. All scheduled maintenance and oil changes were done on time, with oil changes performed well ahead of schedule (every 1,500 miles) when the car was new. I always use synthetic oil.
One nice feature of this car is the upgraded sound system. When I bought the car in late 1997, I had the original stereo, speakers, and audio wiring removed. Gold-plated wiring was installed with a Boston Acoustics speaker system throughout the car. Tweeters are custom installed on the dash and the high frequencies project off the windshield to produce a nice sound field that centers the audio in the middle of the cabin. An Alpine amplifier is installed in the rear pit of the vehicle and all the wiring runs to this. The head unit is an Alpine CDA9805 50W (x 4) system coupled with a BBE crossover and 11-band EQ w/fader. I intended to custom build a subwoofer over the rear pit and wire it into the amp. The BBE crossover would manage the subwoofer and all the other speakers. I never got around to installing this, but it's an upgrade that could be added to the car. The Boston Acoustics speakers were replaced with a new system in 2006 that offered better low end. The car is a fun car to drive and I love the audio system in the vehicle. It's always been a primary part of the driving experience, for me.
Now for the problems. This car is fifteen years old, so you have to accept a few things.
The right side of the dash cluster is out. In 2004 it stopped working and then sometime in 2005 it started working again and then shortly afterward it stopped again. It might just be an intermittent problem that requires the cluster to be reseated; I'm not sure. I never pursued having it fixed. The dash cluster works fine, otherwise, and I can see the mileage by shining a flashlight at an angle over the odometer. All the gauges operate fine.
There's a scratch and dent on the hood around the front passenger headlight (see pics) from the car lunging forward in the garage and hitting a wheelbarrow. :-( There is some paint peeling off the lower front grill. There are a few scratches and door dings from being parked in parking lots over the years (normal stuff for a fifteen year-old car). The hood was replaced from a minor deer hit at a slow speed (~20 MPH). The deer flopped on the hood and dented it. It was replaced in 2005.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I can supply more pics, if interested. Come and give it a test drive. I'd like to find it a new home. With a wife and new baby, this car doesn't fit into our family structure. I need to sell it and get an SUV.

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old
Fri, Feb 13 2015The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.
