It rides beautifully and is incredibly reliable.
We enjoy taking it to local and regional cars shows when the weather is nice and it is always a standout
entry winning awards very frequently. The color is Honduras Maroon (only about 1700 made in this color). The
interior seats were replaced a few years ago as was the instrument cluster (NOS) and all of the gauge faces. The
Wonderbar radio is original but has been rebuilt to include digital circuitry and AM/FM capability. New speakers
were added at the same time. The convertible top is black and has one small tear but the frame is in great
condition and the mechanism works well. I have the original color matched hardtop for the car and it is in
beautiful condition. These hardtops (if you can find them!) sell in excess of $7000.00. The hard top has its one
storage cart and dust cover which will go with the car. About two years ago I had a full custom warning harness
installed made by Lectric Limited....they are the gold standard in custom wiring harnesses. I have replaced the
original Harrison radiator with a custom Be Cool aluminum radiator which assures that the engine runs cool and
doesn't overheat, even in the warmest temperatures. I do however have the original Harrison radiator and it will go
with the car. A few years ago, I found some original spinner hub caps for the car and I installed Coker radials in
the original 1 1/4" whitewall style. Everything I have done with my car has been to keep it as original as possible
and as reliable as possible because I honestly like driving it, not worrying about it. I have lots of memorabilia
with this car (models, manuals, etc) as well as a three ring binder with all of the service records and receipts
for special upgrades and equipment purchased and installed over the last 11 years. This car is a real gem and the
new owner is really going to not only get a classic, but a great running one as well!!

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division
Wed, Jan 7 2015An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.
