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!

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.

ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
