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!

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
