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!

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
