I'm helping my father to sell his 1972 Chevy Camaro. He's owned it a few years, and the previous owner really couldn't tell him a whole lot about the particulars of the car. So most of what we know about it has been through bits and pieces of working on it. I think it can best be described as a race car that someone tried to convert back into a street vehicle. I'll try to be as thorough as I can with what I know.
What it is and what it has:
1972 Cheverolet Camaro. It's NOT a Z/28, one of the previous owners affixed the badges.
400 Small block bored .30 over. It's not a 350.
Dart aluminum heads (I'll try to get the serial for them)
Solid roller camshaft (unknown lift and duration)
Roller rockers
Holley 750 double pumper
Edelbrock Torker Single plane intake
MSD6AL ignition system
Accel Super Coil
12 bolt rear end
350 turbo transmission
Aluminum raditor
TRW forged/domed pistons
Accel 8.8 Plug wires
8 Gallon fuel cell mounted in the trunk
Electric fuel pump mounted in the back
Roll cage
Race bucket seats
Hurst shifter
Electric fan
Hooker super competition headers
3" exhaust dumping right in front of the back tires through glasspack mufflers
Nitrous
Fiberglass cowl hood (maybe 6")
More about the car:
A best guesstimate of the compression is that it is above 11 to 1 or higher, so no regular gas in this beast. The car has nitrous that I've never pulled the trigger on. I think it's a 150 horse shot, but I could be completely off on that and I've never looked into it. The car has the power steering disconnected and removed, so it's a bit of a bear to steer. The motor is chained to the frame. It has ladder bars and looks like it had the attachments for wheelie bars in the back. I've got a set of slicks to go with the existing wheels that go with the car. It's got a monster tach and a push button starter. We installed the aluminum radiator and a high torque starter from summit for easier cranking. The battery is mounted in the back and has a switch on the back that you can turn the car on and off with. I think we guesstimated the gearing at 4:10's, but the speedo doesn't work so we could be way off. I have no idea what the stall speed is on the converter. I think it may have had a trans brake at one time. There's a 'mystery button' on the console, along with another button on the shifter which I assume is for the nitrous. It's got the skinny tires in the front and fat in the rear. They are American racing rims, I can get the particulars on the tires if you want them.
The car is a bit of an animal, and it's only streetable in the loosest sense of the term. It needs some TLC as far as tuning goes to get things in better shape and it's beyond my skill set or time. It's set far longer than it should have but drives fine. There's some rust at the back corners of the doors and a ding in the ridge at the center of the door on the passenger's side. It would probably do better as a near turn key race car vs. someone trying to change it back to street. The back seat has been pulled and there's been some aluminum put under the carpeting. The paint isn't in bad shape but it does have some age. It's loud enough to scare animals and small children.
Let me know if you have any questions or need any additional pictures. Good Luck!

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
It's possible to go 111 miles on electricity in the new Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 8 2016Wayne Gerdes at CleanMPG put the 2016 Chevrolet Volt in Premiere trim through a few closely watched on-the-road tests over a few days. One of them was a run from full charge to EV-only exhaustion, and at the end of the trip Gerdes had traveled 111.0 indicated miles on a single charge, 111.9 according to his Garmin. What's the catch? He guessed his average speed was about 20 miles per hour, which was 15 and 20 mph around town and "a few miles" at 50 mph on the highway. The EPA says the new Volt should go 53 miles on battery power. In the 2011 Volt, rated at 38 electric miles, Gerdes got 75.5 miles on a charge. The upshot is that at urban driving at average speeds should get drivers the EPA rated 53 e-mpg without fuss. He wasn't so impressed with performance in Charge Sustaining Mode, though. During one run that covered 101.2 actual miles in CSM, using 1.691 gallons, the Volt got 59.8 mpg. Speaking of driving in CSM only, Gerdes said it's less efficient here than in competitors from Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai, but that's one of the few performance-related complaints he had. Elsewhere around the PHEV, Gerdes liked improvements to the eight-inch display and rear-view camera, build and design quality, the much quieter ride, and the switch to regular fuel. The six-foot Gerdes found the cabin space still cozy, especially in the back where ingress and egress could be a challenge for people of a certain stature. He lamented the fact that he couldn't find instantaneous fuel and energy consumption or among the many readouts, and would prefer the sedan kicked into glide mode sooner. In spite of that, he declares the Volt II "a full blown electric car." Head over to CleanMPG for the rest of his assessment.
