Hello you're bidding (hopefully) on my 1972 Camaro.  I wish I could keep it but Uncle Sam wants his money.  The car is kind of an odd ball.  The 1972 Camaro production year was short due to a strike (I bet you already knew that since you want a 2nd gen).  This car has a 4-speed Saginaw (least produced trans type) and was originally pewter silver (least used paint color that model year).  I tracked down the 3rd owner who was friends with the original owner.  He told me the Camaro, which from what I know has spent it's entire life in central/southern California, was custom ordered (no proof just his story maybe you'll get lucky and find the build sheet under the gas tank) from the dealership to go road racing.  This would explain why this car has non power factory front disc brakes (So you wouldn't lose vacuum and your brakes at high rpm), F41 factory performance suspension, factory Eaton posi rearend with 3.73 gears, and Z-28 rally wheels. The guy I bought the car from pulled it out of a barn in Los Banos, CA in 2006 (there was still hay stuck to the car when I got it)


Currently the car has a cheap white paint job thats flaking off as you can see in the pictures.  The Camaro has rust in all the typical places a 41 year old car would (window surrounds, bottom wheel well, lower rear quarter panels etc.) but the floor boards are in good shape and covered with POR-15.  The main portion of the trunk has surface rust, in the right corner the rust goes through.  I know it might sound bad but it really isn't when compared to mid west cars that deal with salted roads and snow.  The engine was rebuilt and put back in the car but never fired.  The heads were redone with bigger valves (2.02/1.90) and a more aggressive cam installed.  The manual trans was rebuilt at the same time.  I have a whole new interior ready to be installed in boxes (less head liner).  The dash pad is new.  I have all the original glass (the front windshield has a small crack) and a new steel cowl induction hood.  This car is a blank slate for what ever direction you want to take it (Auto cross, factory original etc.). All the pieces are there you just have to get the body and paint done.  I also have reprints of the service manual, factory assembly instruction manual, and owners manual that go with the car. The Camaro is being sold as is with no warranty. If you have any questions or want to inspect the car send me a message.  The reserve is reasonable so good luck!

How real is the Chevy Bolt EV and will it really cost $30,000?

Tue, Jan 13 2015

"This is us bragging that we can do this kind of car." That's how Michael Simcoe, GM's executive director for NA exteriors, described the Chevy Bolt EV concept, which made a surprise appearance at the Detroit Auto Show today. While there was talk of a 2017 production debut, this is for sure a concept vehicle. But that means the ideas behind the vehicle are perhaps more important than the details. For example, no one is talking about what size battery might appear in a production Bolt, but Simcoe would talk about how rapid progress in battery improvements made it possible for GM to make the bold Bolt declaration that promises 200 miles and a price tag of around $30,000 (after incentives). But if the Bolt makes it to market, it won't be until 2017 (as rumored) or later, is it really fair to promote the car as being available with a federal tax credit? For one thing, credits for plug-in vehicles may change in the next few years, but if the laws stay the same, each manufacturer is limited to 200,000 vehicles before the credits start to decline. GM is justifiably proud that it's sold over 70,000 Volts thus far, but with a new model coming out later this year and a few years to go until the Bolt potentially arrives, GM could be pushing right up against that 200,000 limit when the Bolt goes on sale. But Volt executive chief engineer Pam Fletcher told AutoblogGreen that, "We're just trying to take some of the confusion out." "Think about talking to the average consumer," she said. "First, going through the explanation of how the federal tax credit was set up, how it's being used and so on. [In the industry, we] have the luxury of understanding the nuances of that regulation, but right now people who aren't in the marketplace, they don't have the luxury of all that. It's already hard to communicate the details so we gave them data in a way that is what they're used to seeing." There was one question that drove the two-year Bolt gestation and design period, Simcoe said: What does a better battery offer a vehicle designer? "We've got a number of spaces we play in for powertrain technology and obviously electrification is one of them," he said. "With Volt 1 and then the Spark EV, with that development and batteries getting better for us, we started doing some practical packaging to deliver a vehicle which was not the traditional aero form which you see around electric vehicles.

GM will recall 3.5 million pickups and SUVs to fix brake issue

Wed, Sep 11 2019

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co is recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and increase the risk of a crash. The recall, which covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles, was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted Wednesday. NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in November 2018, and said it had reports of 9 crashes and two injuries related to the issue. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. The company did not immediately say on Wednesday how many injuries or crashes are linked to the issue but said it could impact braking in "rare circumstances." GM said dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module with a new calibration that will improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We 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.
