This is an excellent opportunity for vintage Camaro collectors. 1972 Z28, four speed, with some rare factory
options. Same owner since 2002. Originally an Oklahoma car. Still has 1978 Oklahoma inspection sticker affixed to
original windshield. Runs and drives as well as it looks. Impeccable repaint of the original Cranberry Red finish
with Black stripes. All original glass, chrome, stainless, and interior. Undercarriage is primarily original.
Odometer reads 50,942. There is no documentation, but the owner history and condition of car indicates this is the
original mileage. Less than 800 miles logged since 2002. Since the repaint, only driven to exercise the mechanical
components and driven to a few shows and cruises. Otherwise, stored in a secure garage. One of less than 1,000 four
speed Z28’s manufactured in 1972. These don’t come up for sale often, as the extremely low production numbers
classify them as rare examples. This is one of the nicest 1972 Z28’s you will find for sale that have only
undergone partial restorations and maintained most original components in unmolested form.

EXTERIOR:
As stated above, dry Oklahoma car most of it’s life. All original body panels are laser straight. This was a
frame up restoration, due to the excellent condition of the car. Body was disassembled, all panels were massaged
and prepped, and refinished in the original factory code 75 Cranberry Red with code YF8 Black stripes. The quality
of paint would be accurately described as excellent. The finish is uniform. No irregularities. No blotches or
uneven shades or hues. Buffed to a mirror gloss. Hours were dedicated to aligning and fitting all body panels.
Please look at the file of photos. Fits and gapment are precise and excellent. Bumpers are original and in
excellent condition. Remaining original chrome, stainless, emblems, and brightwork also in excellent condition. D80
front and rear spoiler. Original tinted glass is in excellent condition. Dual color keyed sport mirrors. First year
for the course grille mesh, and grille is in great shape. Z28 five spoke sport wheels have been refinished, with
trim rings and center caps. BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, P235/60R15. Z21 exterior style package- Body colored door
handle inserts, bright accented parking lights, headlights, and backup lights. Bright accented window, body, sill,
and hood moldings.
ENGINE AND DRIVE TRAIN:
The heart of this beautiful Z28 is the 350 Cu. In. LT1 engine built to LT1 specs. Correct 3970010 casting number,
but not the original block. Casting date is L58, indicating a four bolt main block built for 1969 production..
The remaining components of the build are the correct OEM LT1 parts. Correct Holley four barrel carburetor-
List#6239- GM#3999263. 780 CFM. Carb functions perfectly. Automatic choke works well. Correct Z28 aluminum hi rise
intake manifold. Correct 2.02”/1.60” heads. 76.18cc combustion chambers. 9:1 compression. Solid lifters,
.458” intake and .484” exhaust. Forged crank. Flat top pistons. Single point distributor with vacuum. Dual
snorkel air cleaner. Stock exhaust manifolds have been replaced with Hooker Competition Series headers. Full
aluminized dual exhaust with transverse muffler. New heavy duty radiator.
This engine was rated back in 1972 at 255 HP. Keep in mind, due to more stringent insurance and government
regulations, GM started publishing net horsepower ratings, taken at the rear wheels with all accessories installed.
Previous years used gross horsepower, taken at the flywheel with no accessories installed. Therefore, even though
the HP did fall off a little bit on paper (also due to reducing compression from 11:1 to 9:1), the Z28 still had
plenty of power. For comparison, the 1972 396 was rated at 240 HP.
Eleven inch heavy duty clutch. Muncie M21 four speed transmission. Ten bolt rear differential with optional 4.10
gear with posi traction. Aftermarket bolt on adjustable traction bars have been installed. Original F41 suspension
with heavy duty shocks and springs. Rear stabilizer bar. One inch front stabilizer bar. Power disc brakes on the
front, drum on the rear. Manual steering. Undercarriage still displayed the original factory undercoating. At the
time of the repaint, the restoration shop put the car on the rack, cleaned and touched up the undercoating. The
idea was to adhere as closely to factory appearance as possible.
INTERIOR:
Complete interior is original, with the exception of the carpet and sill plates. When the car was repainted, all
the seals, weatherstripping, and jam seals were replaced. The quality of paint in the door jams and inner doors is
the same as the exterior of the car. Also, look at the photos of the bottom of the doors. Seats, door panels,
headliner and package shelf in excellent shape. Dash and dash pad also in excellent condition. Remote driver
mirror. Factory AM 8 track stereo. 6,500 RPM redline tachometer. 130 MPH speedometer. Fuel, amps, water temp
gauges. Clock. Stewart Warner oil pressure gauge installed under the dash. Hurst shifter. Remote trunk release
located in glove box. Factory sport wheel.
TRUNK:
Trunk is untouched original, with original splatter paint. Solid as a rock. New spare is mounted on the original
wheel. Original jack is present. Even the original jack cover is still in place.
This beautiful Z28 would be a valued addition to any Camaro enthusiast’s collection. Search the internet. Very
few 1972 examples are offered for sale, due to rarity and low production numbers. Don’t miss this opportunity.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan
Wed, Mar 15 2017GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones – timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
