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!

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
Tue, Jun 28 2022People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome. GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three. This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories
Sat, Feb 29 2020DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
