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!

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.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
