For sale to a GOOD HOME ONLY is a rock solid 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with actual, true, one owner miles. Not only are the low miles, provenance and condition important here but the Sunset Orange Metallic exterior is probably THE hardest color to find. Let alone in this condition. In the opening comments we stated that the vehicle is for sale to a GOOD HOME ONLY. This vehicle has been Simon's only child. Unfortunately due to a stroke this vehicle is now available for sale. REST ASSURED, if there is any word that a potential new owner is wanting to modify, customize, bolt on high performance crap, put on a hood scoop, stick some goofy neon lights underneath, slap on some stupid 12 inch tall "street" spoiler, drop in a 13 inch television screen or otherwise alter this vehicle into some "piece of art" then please look elsewhere because we have no interest in passing this on to you. At a minimum, If you plan on doing these things then don't be a moron and tell us about your intentions. It would be wise to keep it to yourself. The owner has been in tears over this and the last thing he needs is to have his memories of this car tarnished with thoughts of it's demise. Now that we have that out of the way, let's move on to the Camaro.
Simon purchased the Z28 brand new and has been the only owner since that time. The vehicle has not been altered in any way from it's original form at all other then after purchase, he spent $149 (back then) at the local Zeibart to have the vehicle rust protected. The vehicle has been stored in his garage during the winter months and has NEVER NEVER NEVER seen a Michigan winter. The original tires were recently replaced due to cracking and age but they ride smoothly, quiet and perform perfectly. He always kept the Camaro's paint protected with wax. This was done every spring, summer and fall since new. The vehicle has absolutely positively never ever been smoked in. Simon does not smoke and would not even allow anybody to drink or eat while riding. This Z is equipped with power windows, power locks that WORK PROPERLY. The tilt and cruise control WORK PROPERLY. All of the buttons on the steering wheel for the radio functions and the radio itself WORKS PROPERLY. The T-Tops DO NOT LEAK nor are any of the rubber seals around the windows rotted from age like most of the ones you see. There are absolutely NO warning lights displayed nor has there been any warning lights displayed. As stated, the tires are new. The vehicle was just in for a fluid change and inspection where it passed with no known issues. The exterior is amazingly glossy with no paintwork or repairs anywhere on the body. It literally shines like a new car. Interior is rip, tear and wear free. No odors and no excuses. I personally drove this vehicle last week and put about 250 miles on it. I was most surprised by the LACK of squeaks and rattles. This sucker is amazingly quiet while driving and going over bumps. Other then the roar of the V8 engine it even handles and sounds like a new car. THE ONLY ITEMS I NOTICED that I would like to disclose are as follows. The brakes work perfectly and according to the inspection have lots of life left. BUT there is a SLIGHT and I mean SLIGHT pulsation when the brakes are heated and applied. Most wont even notice but as picky as I am, I did notice it. My guess is over time and miles, the new owner may have to turn the front rotors at some point. Most parts stores do it for $10 bucks a side. The only other thing that I noticed is the bottom of the rectangular exhaust tips are starting to get some rust most likely due to the exhaust vapors sitting in them after the vehicle is turned off. The exhaust seems quiet at idle AND when I stomp on it so I am guessing this is more cosmetic then anything else but again, I did notice it. There are no scratches and the undercarriage is rust free. I have included photos of the underbody to prove that. The vehicle has the T-Top sunshade attachments that are still in the wrapper they came in. I took a photo of that as well. I hope I covered everything but if you need further information feel free to email me. Interestingly enough, 42000 Camaro's were built in 2002. There were only 1875 (about 4%) of that total production line produced in Sunset Orange including SS, Z28 and base Camaro vehicles. 30000 of the 42000 had rear defoggers which THIS Z28 HAS . 28000 of the 42000 had leather wrapped steering wheels with the radio buttons on them which THIS Z28 HAS. 24000 of the 42000 had removable T-Top panels which THIS Z28 HAS. 19000 of the 42000 produced had Traction Control which THIS Z28 HAS. Simon's Camaro is highly optioned but with the leather delete. This really helps narrow down an estimate of how many (if any) other Camaro's were ever built and equipped like this one. Subtract the estimates of the base and SS production figures then consider the high option content and rare exterior color. Those numbers alone bring this one down to at best, 1 of a few hundred. Then how many were ordered with tons of options but cloth seat surfaces??? 1 of 50??? Then how many had this interior color??? 1 of 25??? How many had the chrome wheels instead of the flat silver wheels???? Then how many are stock, unmolested, still on the road and have super low original miles???Well we know of 1 and that is the one for sale here today. In a few years when everyone is clamoring to get there hands on these which one do you think will be worth the most? I could be wrong but usually the most valuable are unique colors, options and condition of which this Z28 has hit every category. This vehicle is not a new $40,000 Camaro meaning it does not come with a warranty. The vehicle is sold as-is where is. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges, title, plate and taxes in your home state. If you are truly interested in the vehicle I can price some shipping rates for you through a friend of mine that is in the business. DO NOT jerk my time off just because you are "curious" and have nothing better to do. I am gainfully employed, work hard and am very busy. I do not have time to chit chat about the history of Chevrolet. But if you are on the fence about shipping then email me your zip code and I can try and get a quote for you. I will answer emails as fast as I can and will forward any info you need as fast as I can but to serious buyers only. The family is very sad to see this go and Simon is even more upset. He always said how this Camaro called his name and he treated this car better then anything or anyone else. We are very prayerful that it does end up in a home that will love it as much as he did and we are confident it will be as reliable and dependable as it was for Simon. I will add any information that is appropriate as I get it and post it on the listing. Any bidders with 5 or less feedback MUST contact me before placing bid . By placing the winning bid you are entering into a legal agreement to PURCHASE the car NOT get first dibs on looking at it. Please make sure your husband, wife, banker, mother, father etc are fine with you purchasing this vehicle before you bid!
Again, please feel free to email me with any important questions. Good luck and God bless!

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover
Wed, Jul 25 2018Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
