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!

A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728

Fri, May 6 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
