     1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd, 75,927 miles, red with black interior. 350, close-ratio 4spd, 3:73 rear-axle ratio. The original owner had kept the vehicle until 1998 before selling to the gentleman that I purchased it from. The car is absolutely 100% rust-free with all it's original metal and paint/decals. All numbers-matching. The interior is 100% original and in excellent condition right down to the Delco AM/FM cassette radio and GM floor mats. There have never been any added tachs, gauges, etc. ever. I have documentation including the build sheet, owner's manual, sales agreement, tire/battery warranty, etc. This has been an adult-owned, well cared for Z28.

     The previous owner had a very high-dollar custom 406 small-block professionally built by "A&R Racing" in Virginia. He had removed the perfect-running 350 and preserved it. The engine swap, Griffen radiator, aluminum drive shaft, full flowmaster 3 in. exhaust, and Competition Engineering "slide-a-link" traction product have been the only modifications to the car. Everything had been very tastefully done purely for improved driveability and performance deserving of the Z28 name. The previous owner bought the car to drive and felt that the car was too sharp looking to have a low horsepower 350 under the hood. Therefore, he upgraded the engine rather than take away from the originality of the 350 by adding bolt-ons. The original 350 would just need to be cleaned/detailed and would be ready to reinstall, if so desired. The car can be easily returned back to it's original state quickly, right down to the original drive shaft and factory exhaust with the pancake-style catalytic converter which are also included with the car. I had also taken it upon myself to add color-keyed Z28 wheels to enhance the appearance. I have also saved the factory gold Z28 wheels which I will also include. The last picture shows the car with the original gold Z28 wheels.

    I have seen many F-bodies of this generation and can honestly say with 100% confidence that this is one of the nicest all-original cars I've seen. As stated above, there have been NO wrecks, NO rust, and the body is 100% original with every panel it left the assembly plant with. The doors do not sag (as typical on most F-bodies of this generation) and open and close beautifully (original hinges...see pictures).

 

    Here are some specs on the $10k 406 engine by A&R;

         The engine makes a very honest 510-hp and 490 ft-lbs of torque @6800 rpm. The engine has only the best components; custom solid camshaft, internally balanced forged callies 4340 crankshaft, 4340 forged 6" rods with floated pins, custom forged 10.5:1 flat-top pistons with ultra-lite pins...the list goes on. Many hours were spent on the Canfield aluminum cylinder heads and the Team-G intake manifold topped with a blueprinted Holley from the Carb Shop in California. The radiator is a Griffen custom-fit "use your original GM top support" radiator with two rows of 1.25 intubing that allows the engine to maintain 160 degrees. Everything has been done in as close to factory manor as possible right down to the 3" custom-bent flowmaster exhaust. NOTHING on this car was disturbed or hacked whatsoever !

        This is a true collector car with documentation, all original parts included, and is fun to drive. Please feel free to ask any questions before placing a bid. I strongly encourage any interested parties to inspect the vehicle in person. Please contact me with ANY questions. A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of auction end and balance due at pickup which shall be 7 days after auction end. I have a clear title in-hand and neither the vehicle nor the title will be released until final payment/funds have cleared. I do not have the means to deliver the vehicle, therefore the buyer is solely responsible for any/all costs and arrangements. Please contact me with ANY questions before placing a bid as any miscommunications can be costly and time-consuming for all parties involved. I will reply as promptly as possible to any inquiries. Vehicle being sold AS-IS with no warranties of any kind, express or implied. Thank you for looking.

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season

Wed, Jul 30 2014

Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?

Thu, Jan 21 2016

You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
