1988 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z28 Race Show Car on 2040-cars

Year:1988 Mileage:200 Color: The car was completely disassembled around
Location:

La Grange, Illinois, United States

La Grange, Illinois, United States

 I have owned this car for 15 of the last 19 years.  It started out as a pristine low mileage IROC-Z 5.7L and was transformed into the beast she is today.  OK, where to start.

Exterior:
The car was completely disassembled around 10 years ago, shaved and smoothed out all emblems and logos.  Paint is a deep base coat black with about four coats of clear.  Paint shows very well but for a true show car i would say she needs a fresh coat as it is 10 years old now.  But dont get me wrong, it may not be perfect but its still a deep gloss, zero rust, awesome looking car that gets a ton of attention.  Shaved handles open with remotes and theres an emergency pop in the well just in case.  6" fiberglass cowl hood just clears all the goodies underneath.  Chrome 18" perfect rims by Stern performance are wrapped in 255/40 Toyo Proxes up front and 265/40 Mickey Thompson drag radials out back.  All lights and signals function as they should, except no fog lights for better air flow.  Limo tints all around.

Interior:
New black carpet front and back, new head liner and visors.  No rear seats, front Corbeau seats with 5 point harnesses.  6 point welded in roll cage with removeable side bars make it a ton easier to get in and out(drivers side door handle will not clear the side bar when it is installed).  Autometer gauges throughout and everything works as it should, all the way down to the speedo and fuel level.  Hurst pro shifter.  Power windows and hatch all function properly.  Factory fuel tank has welded in sump pickup and fills from inside hatch(fuel cap is hard to get open sometimes and needs a caress from a screwdriver, would suggest replacing but never got around to draining tank).  Pioneer stereo with Pheonix gold speaker front and rear and Q logic kick panels.  No A/C or heat, no surprise.

Engine and Drivetrain:
Motor is a built LS7 big block, all forged internals, studded, ported and polished Merlin heads with stud girdles, Holley carb, MSD igniton setup, Edelbrock nitrous plate sytem never used, purge in front of hood, jet hot coated hooker full length headers down to true dual exhaust out the back, Willwood brakes, pistons, and calipers all around, master cylinder works off the power steering pump pressure to make up for loss of vacuum, yes it still has power steering for ease of cruising, built TH400 reverse manual w/brake, 5000 stall convertor, line-lock, B&M deep pan, trans cooler, Moser 9" rear end, Detroit locker with 4:10 gears, 33 spline axles, racing shocks and struts, lowering springs, Spohn trans cradle with driveshaft loop, Spohn rear end drag link, willwood adjustable control arms and sway bar, Aeromotive A100 fuel pump and filters, aluminum racing radiator cars temp always around 160, digital trans temp gauge by shifter, I'm sure im missing a lot feel free to ask questions.

This car is a beast, drives straight and smooth, however due its extreme build is bein sold as-is.  This isnt your average garage build where they throw in a huge motor and run it to the track. This car has all its bases covered, wasnt hacked to pieces, gets a ton of looks, and is a blast to drive around the neighborhood and the car shows.  Shipping is solely the responsibility of the buyer, I will drive it on to a trailer and thats about it.  Let me know if you need more pics or specific pics.  Thanks for looking.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
