Chevy Camaro Z28 Iroc Convertible 5-speed 13k Orig Miles!! on 2040-cars

US $20,900.00
Year:1989 Mileage:13000
Location:

Hi Everyone,

Available is a Stunning 89 IROC-Z convertible in the most desirable color combination and drivetrain.  Car is a 305, 5.0L TPI, 5-speed. Has 13k original miles, never driven in rain in inclement weather. Deluxe cloth interior with just about all options. Most of the 13k miles were put on it by the current owner since 2005.

Blue with a gray cloth interior, Black top, very original benchmark level car. 100% original paint, no accidents ever, no rust ever, was a southern car until it was shipped up to Mass about 6-7 years ago when bought. Never been driven in any foul weather and it's always garaged.

Yes, the car has the original "ink-mark-still-showing" GoodYear Gatorback tires (which are near impossible to find and validate the mileage), as well as the original GM floor mats.  Photocopy of the original window sticker is available.  Car has no stories, just a collector owned car since day 1.  Currently on it's 4th owner. 

The following has been replaced over the years: the injectors, MAF sensor, plugs, antenna (with stationary antenna), radio (YES the original is included, none of the wires were cut when the CD player was installed), and all fluids. The battery has been replaced too.  Car is fun to drive and ALWAYS gets attention at cruise nights and car shows.

Like anything, if you want to use it to drive it, it should have the tires replaced, they are definitely old and are starting to dry rot. If you want to get real critical, the car does have a very small ding or two that you need to climb all over it to find, but it's really a very nice car. The top does have some very small wear from being down and the vinyl boot around the rear deck has the wear marks from the top (see pics, every one of these cars does this, it's due to design).  Also, the arm rests are just starting to separate (again, they all do this over time and it's easily fixable).

They are only original once and thirdgen Camaros and Firebird with low mileage and the right options / colors are starting to skyrocket in value, they have recently been in the press about how they are great to collect as they are going up in value quickly.  Buy this one to enjoy before the prices go nuts.

I am posting for a very close friend, if you have any questions, I will get you in touch with him direct.  You are welcome to view the car if serious prior to making a bid.

Serious bids only please!!  Car is located in Worcester MA, about an hour from Boston.  If you do not have the funds, please do not bid.  He may consider a partial trade for a low mile ram air trans am convertible with a 6-speed, nothing else.  I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time.  $2,000 is due within 24 hours of auction close.  The rest is due within 7 days, cash or certified bank check only.  The car must be picked up within 7 days of auction close.  The buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.  Thanks!

China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division

Wed, Jan 7 2015

An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.

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.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
