Up for sale is a very nice MARYLAND INSPECTED 1986 Camaro Z-28 2 owner survivor with 81K original miles - VIN # 1G1FP87H2GN148804
Please note: I could only upload 24 pics to ebay - but I have over 100 PICS and More Info posted here: www.aceweb.us This Z-28 was built in February 1986 at the GM plant in Norwood, Ohio. It was sold to its original owner on Sept. 10th, 1986 by the Chevy dealer in Middletown, MD with 10 miles on the odometer (see pics) The next documentation available is the Maryland Emissions Inspection showing that the car passed emissions on November 13th, 1996 with 24,000 miles on it at the time. So, in its first 10 years, this Z-28 averaged only 2,400 miles per year. The AutoCheck Report is impressive – it shows an AutoCheck Score of 50 with 2 owners (I am the 2nd owner). The report also shows that this Z-28 had regular Registration Renewals every 2 years from 1995 to 2010 with a new title issued in March 2010 with 71,000 miles. In August 2013 a duplicate title was issued and then the last event on the report is when I purchased the car in September 2013 with 79,953 miles. Just so you know, I am a “car guy” and a “perfectionist nut case” …. So I set off on a mission to go through this car from top to bottom, I like everything working perfectly as it did when the car was new. Under the hood, the engine and engine compartment were completely original. All of the factory wiring harnesses, clips, clamps, connectors… etc, were correct and untouched. After a good cleaning I started by flushing and changing all of the fluids:
From there, I scanned the ECM and found a Code 21 (throttle position sensor) - Code 15 (coolant temperature sensor) – and a Code 44 (oxygen sensor). I replaced all of the sensors, cleared the codes and scanned again with no problems found. The Oxygen Sensor and Coolant Temp. Sensor were new – I had a good Throttle Position Sensor in my parts box that I used. The On Board Diagnostics system works correctly - just ground the diagnostic terminal under the dash and the ECM flashes Code 12 on the SES (check engine) light as it should. From there I drove it a few miles to make sure no other codes would set – and with no codes, I went deeper into the engine with:
I pulled the original carburetor (Electronic 4BBL Quadrajet) and sent it to Carburetor USA in New Jersey for a very detailed professional rebuild. When I got the carb back it looked brand new – base adjustments done and ready to go. After installation, I adjusted the automatic choke, idle speed (high and low) , throttle valve cable - and the Electronic Idle Load Compensator which increases the idle slightly when the A/C or electric cooling fan is on. The A/C blows cold – there are no leaks, in fact, the system was still under full pressure when it was converted it to R134. With the rebuilt carburetor and all of the new tune up parts the car runs great. The automatic choke works correctly, the car starts as it should (hot or cold) , idles smooth and winds up quickly without hesitation. The transmission upshifts and downshifts smoothly and quietly as it should. I am a “nut” when it comes to “rattles and squeaks” so I literally went around and tightened the entire car. There are no annoying rattles, squeaks, clinks, clanks, clunks or thunks. On the road, this car runs great. I get out on the highway and set the Cruise Control at 65mph and it just cruises along as nice as can be. At 65 mph the tach reads about 2750 rpm, Oil Pressure reads 45 lbs with a Water Temp. of 160-170 degrees (see pics). A nice cool running engine is an engine that lasts a long time. The electric cooling fan system works exactly as it should. At about 235-240 degrees the fan kicks on and then kicks off again about a minute later when the water temp. goes down to about 210 degrees - the Idle Load Compensator increases the RPM slightly whenever the fan is on. While is was under the hood, I also installed:
The underside of the car is clean, solid and rust free other than a little surface rust here and there as one would expect on a car of this age. There are no fluid leaks that I can see – it’s clean and dry from front to back. After all of that work the Z-28 was running like a top, so I started turning my attention to the exterior cosmetics. The car was repainted at some point, but I have no way of knowing how long ago. It appears to be a decent paint job and the paint shows very nicely as seen in the pics. It looks like they taped off the original Rally Stripes so the car still has the original Rally Stripes as far as I can tell. There are no runs or overspray issues to speak of. All in all, it’s a very nice clean looking car for its age. Going by the Hagerty definitions – I would consider this a strong #3 car. After a good exterior cleaning I got started on the exterior with:
The doors don’t sag – the hinges are tight – so with the new weatherstrip kit installed, the doors close crisp and tight. There is no wind noise while driving and no water leaks at all when sitting or driving in the rain. So… with all of that done, I moved on to the interior. This car has the original stock interior that is in good condition for its age. There is the normal fading on the seats, but other than a wear spot on the side of the driver seat and small spot on the driver’s side rear seat bottom, the seats are in good original condition with no rips or tears. The dash pad is slightly warped but has no cracks – the door panel backings have seen better days but still look okay. The rear hatch area is in good overall condition – original spare tire – electronic hatch release and pull down work correctly – rear window defogger and third brake light also work correctly – as does the optional courtesy light in the rear hatch area. I pulled the spare tire and took pics of the wheel well (see pics) – bone dry and no rust issues here. While I had the spare tire out, I also installed a repro “jacking instructions” decal to the inside of the spare tire cover (see pics) I got started on the interior with a good cleaning – I took all of the seats out and used a professional steam cleaning machine on the carpet, door panels, seats and rear hatch area – then let it dry for 2 full days in the hot summer sun with the T-tops off and the doors open. It cleaned up very nicely and shows as an original interior in good condition for its age. After the cleaning I went ahead with:
That’s as far as I went with the interior. This Z-28 still has the original rear hatch shade which extends and retracts properly. It has the original (and rare) Z-28 Document Pouch that snaps up under the passenger side dash board – it has the original T-Top storage bag and it also has a pair of period correct T-Top Sun Shades. The “Glove Box” in the rear hatch area looks as if it’s never been used – the lock works perfectly as do the T-top locks and even the original courtesy light in the rear hatch area. I also have a fair amount of documentation that goes with the car (see pics). All in all – this is a great car for the money. It’s MARYLAND INSPECTED, it’s clean, it’s safe, it’s original, it’s correct, it’s straight, it’s dependable and after all of this work, its ready to run and drive anywhere with confidence. I was planning to keep going with it by redoing the interior but I decided instead to sell the Z-28 so I can restore my 1986 Firebird which was my first new car – I was recently able to reacquire it and now I want to restore it. This Z-28 would be a great “starter car” for young folks wanting a classic – it’s great if you want a nice classic car at a reasonable and affordable price – and it would be a great “family” classic and make for lots of family fun at local car shows. Values on these Third Gen Camaros are starting to increase so it’s a good investment too! IF YOU WANT MORE PICS PLEASE LET ME KNOW This Z-28 is an honest car and I am an honest “car guy” – these are the issues that I have found but not addressed. 1. the radio/cassette player does not work 2. the headliner needs to be recovered 3. small ding on driver’s side front fender 4. small scratch on driver’s door which has been touched up 5. body side molding on driver’s door is coming loose at one end 6. fuel gauge and oil pressure gauge “flutter” intermittently. 7. rear window defogger switch has a cosmetic blemish but works fine 8. needs fuse panel cover clip and diagnostic plug cover under the dash Based on the Hagerty definitions, this is a stong #3 car – and Hagerty shows an average value of $8,400 so this is your chance to get a great car and a great deal too!

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark
Thu, Dec 27 2018The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
