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

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?
Fri, Jul 21 2017General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
