Sharp Car With A 700r4, And 4 Wheel Disc Brakes...no Reserve! on 2040-cars
Alton, Illinois, United States
Ebay isn't a game...Only bid if you're serious and going to follow through...I still drive it regularly so miles may be slightly more! This is a nice Camaro I've owned for 3 years, but know a lot of the history of from the late 90's. To start off, it's a Type LT that is supposed to be burgundy in color, but as we can see, it's black with blue painted stripes and the pinstripe around the stripes is purple. The painted stripes run all the way down to the front and rear valances. The hood is a 6" Glasstek bolt on fiberglass hood. It was painted around 1998 and actually has held up well! There's some scratches here and there, and at one time it looks like the driver's door rubbed the front fender. The only rust is pictured and it's on the lower front valance where the license plate bracket would go. I would call the body 8 out of 10 with a paint job making it a 10. On the drivetrain...It's got a 350 in it with Dart iron heads, Comp Cams 292H Magnum cam, full roller rockers, Edelbrock air gap intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb with electric choke, MSD 6AL ignition with MSD Pro Billet distributor and MSD Super Conductor wires. It does have headers on it that goes into a Flowmaster American Thunder full system. It has one muffler longways (factory position) that has 2 pipes going into it and 2 pipes going out. It sounds great! It has a big block radiator in it, electric fans, and billet pulleys on it along with a vacuum canister so there's no lack of vacuum with the big cam. The transmission is a 700R4 with about a 3000 stall converter in it and a B&M console MegaShifter it in. It shifts really hard and is a blast! The rear end is from a 79 Trans Am WS6 so it has the rear sway bar along with the disc brakes, so yes it does have 4 wheel disc brakes. The rear end has an Auburn Gear Pro differential and 4.11 gear ratio. It works great with the 700R4 so you're not turning real high RPMs going down the road! The frame on this car has had frame connectors welded in along with traction bars added. All suspension bushings are polyurethane and there is a larger front sway bar. Between all of that and the 16X8 American Racing wheels, it handles great! The interior is basically stock and was replaced in the late 90's. As you can see, it does have Auto Meter liquid-filled gauges and an Auto Meter Monster tach as well. The radio is a Kenwood CD player with 4 6X9 speakers in the rear deck and 2 4" speakers in the dash that sound great to. All receipts that I have had for this car since I've owned it go with it...As far as what I've done to it: New fuel pump, alternator, battery, Edelbrock carb, MSD distributor, wires, spark plugs, 4 shocks, 2 tires, Kenwood CD player and front 2 speakers, new trunk and door lock cylinders, headlight, among other things. Here's a link to a YouTube video of the interior and it starting after sitting for 3 days... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZ-ZmfA9kKw&feature=youtu.be"> </a> This is a fun car that can be driven daily (I have from time to time), gets lots of compliments, and turns a ton of heads. Hard to find them nice like this! |

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint
Sun, Feb 6 2022Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
