Thanks for looking at our 1974 Chevrolet Camaro.  This car has fresh paint and interior, new tires and wheels and a very strong rebuilt small block 350 and transmission.  It's FAST AND LOUD so if your looking to sneak around, this isn't your car. You can depend on firing half a dozen car alarms in your trip through the parking lot.  In underground parking, you can make mayhem while devastating car alarms to your hearts content.

We bought the car as an unfinished but running project.  The motor and trans had been completed rebuilt but otherwise the car looked pretty sad. 

We found that indeed the engine and trans were very strong.  We suspect she's a 383 stroker but aren't sure.  The car runs cool in LA traffic.  Headers feed Flowmasters into short pipes that end at the axle. The B&M QuickSilver shifter works flawlessly.

Thanks to her 1974 Birthday, this beauty is SMOG EXEMPT in California.  No  annual testing or requirements. 

This is a Factory Air Conditioned car but the compressor is not present.

Tilt Steering Wheel,  Aftermarket AM FM CD with removable face.  Just installed new 6X9 Speakers on the new package shelf.  Tons of volume and bass.  Sounds great.

Glass is good all around. Passenger door glass may need adjustment.  New rubber door seals, roof rail seals, window fuzzies, etc.  We understand that this is the sought after small back window model?

New upholstery, headliner, carpet and door panels. Grant steering wheel. Updated dash.

Fresh Repaint to factory original white.  Later model hood scoop. Pans and trunk are solid

New 18" REV Wheels and Sumitomo tires. 20 lock lugs and key.  New Gabriel air shocks.

Runs and drives well.  Lots of attention and always welcome at cruise nights and weekend car gatherings.

Will post engine pics. Ran out of light and time.

This Camaro is currently licensed, registered and insured in California.  No sensors, gps, abs, tpms or any other pms. The most complicated part of this Camaro is likely the radio.

The California title is clean and issued in the sellers name.

Included is a complete build book with receipts, build pictures on CD and other documents related to this car. 

Values on these pre-smog Camaro's continue to escalate as collectors realize how few cars are left.

Parts are plentiful and reasonable.  Get this nice one and you'll be right back to 1974 in a bad ass way. 

Open to southern California area partial, up or down vehicle trades.  pre 1975 Muscle cars, Volvo P1800, Metropolitan, Alfa Romeo, Porsche 911, 240Z 260Z 280Z, older Cadillac, Camaro, Mustang, Vintage race cars, older Jaguars, British sports cars, kit cars, project cars, 1948-1986 interesting cars.  No boats, motorcycles or aircraft please.

 Thanks for all of your questions and comments!!  Posting a few more shots of the Camaro.  In doing so, I'm reminded of the hipo Edelbrock intake and carburetor, HEI ignition and the other upgrades this car has had.  New front marker lenses are in the back seat. (see pics)  Quite a car and seeing anything like this in the parking lot is pretty rare indeed.  Good luck bidders!

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break

Sat, Jun 19 2021

General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.   Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
