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!

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?

Mon, Feb 27 2017

We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
