Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : christopherpedroncelli@juno.com .

Complete numbers matching, documented, 24,500 original mile 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. I have documented ownership history, (actually a three ring binder) OEM sales literature, owner's manual, Warranty (i.e. Protect O Plate) Kodak Photos of this car from years ago, extra keys, Parts and Repairs Receipts, and Z28 authenticity certificate. This is a Norwood built car, and so marked on the build tag. This is a survivor car that has been freshened up with an engine re-build 1000 miles ago in 2008. Re-built professionally to factory specifications. The correct heads received a Three angle valve job, and the engine has been fully balanced, line bored, and cylinder honing. New seals in heads and all new engine gaskets of course. I have receipts describing materials, and the exact engine work that was performed. Shop that did the work is very reputable, and in business today. Concours correct Factory style Gardner exhaust with the OEM style Transverse muffler (expensive!). The correct carburetor has been re-built. The original "W" marked aluminum intake manifold is in place, and the Exhaust manifolds are original......and were NOT replaced with headers as so many others have been. Brand new AC / Delco Battery. Again, Re-build occurred at 23.5k miles, so this engine only has 1000 miles on it since re-build. Needless to say, this 360HP LT1 Chevrolet small block 350 runs very strong. 4.11 gears in the 12 Bolt Rear end, and the 1970 Z28 was the only small block Chevrolet Camaro to get a 12 bolt rear end. M22 Rock Crusher Transmission shifts perfectly, and its' synchronisers were adjusted at time of engine re-build by the same shop. All I have done is lubricate the correct Hurst shifter. Clutch is perfect. Steering is nice and tight, with no slop in the steering box. Original interior with no extra speakers etc. (i removed after market speakers and replaced the package tray with a Concours correct replacement). Correct AM radio. I have the original smog pump (see photo of it and the air pump rails in a box) and the original tail pipes, along with the original wood grain dash face and original spare good year bias ply tire and jack accessories. The under chassis has just been freshened up which before retained its original orange oxide primer. The shocks were replaced with new AC / Delco units. Original floor pans. Paint has been touched up on the edge of the floor pans, and the door jams, the cowl (hence the paint on the Cowl tag that was scraped off) and a couple a few other places. Sheet metal is superb, and NO rust anywhere, including the trunk area. Car has the more rare, taller version of the rear spoiler for 1970. I have a photo (old Kodak snap shot!) of the car in the early 1970's with this in place. Correct 8k Tachometer, 150 MPH Speedometer, (both optimistic! :)) Horn, heater, exterior lights, interior lights, wipers and gauges work correctly. CLOCK is even running.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

GM recalls 638,000 U.S. SUVs, trucks for unintended braking

Sat, Nov 2 2019

WASHINGTON — General Motors is recalling 638,000 U.S. sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks because a wheel-speed sensor could fail and cause unintended braking, it said Thursday. The recall covers 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. The sensor failure could result in unintended activation of the driveline protection system, and cause unintended braking of the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor. That could cause the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash, the Detroit automaker said. GM said it was not aware of any crashes relating to the issue but found 150 field claims alleging the condition caused unintended braking or lateral vehicle motion. A GM dealer in May submitted a warranty report relating to the issue in a 2018 GMC Yukon, and two days later, a GM brand quality manager submitted the report to GMÂ’s Speak Up For Safety program that tracks potential safety issues, which prompted a GM investigation and testing.
