Where are the LT1 Fbody tuners at???? 

I have a 91 camaro RS that we did an LT1 4L60E swap into this past winter. IT HAS SERIOUS TUNING AND SOUP UP POTENTIAL!!! The hard work is done!!!!!  (i.e. wiring and motor swap)

If you don't know that LT1's did not come stock in a 91 camaro, or what an LT1 is, then please hit the back browser button and click on something else. you don't need this car.

  This car came with a 305 TBI motor and a 700R4 transmission.  (the second to worst motor GM ever built). When the LT1 came out, it dwarfed the previous motors in every way until the LS1 hit the market. The car pushes about 345 rear wheel horse (vs the 179 flywheel horsepower  (150 rear wheel) it used to have with the stock 305.)

it runs and drives, is registered and inspected with current tags, insured, i drive it all the time.  

the work that needs to be finished is:

speedometer needs to be wired in. [who doesn't have a smart phone these days, or a GPS? I use an app on my android phone called Ulysse Speedometer, which has a cool HEADS UP DISPLAY option, and throw my phone on the dash in the defroster vent, and it reflects my speed off of the windshield like a corvette HUD..... pretty cool actually, and MUCH more accurate than the actual speedometer would be anyway]


front suspension (not sure what exactly, it pulls to the left, but it did it before we put the motor in, just ran out of money to invest in the car.)

The STEERING BOX is an upgraded "race use only" box that is way more precise than the boat like box the car came with. once the slack is taken out by replacing the bushings, and doing a front end alignment, this car will absolutely handle on rails.. we're talking a few bucks here... 

a few little brackets under the hood like mounting the ECU to the fender well, and mounting the power steering reservoir to something solid, or replacing it with a corvette reservoir. 

finish taping up the wiring harness corners once you add any electrical that you wish to add (it's left undone to make modifications easier for the next owner)

install the (included) brand new stereo and speakers

install the bezels once the stereo is put in.. (ALL interior parts are included with this car, whether you see them in the photos or not...)

a few sensors that aren't important, like one for the temp gauge. (the ECU knows the engine temp, but the dash gauge doesn't show it. the car the motor came out of DID NOT HAVE a water temp gauge in the cockpit, therefore it is not important under any circumstances to have it. It's just an addon that the camaro had, so if you want it, you need to put a second temp sensor in the motor and run the wires to the temp gauge (it's the same sensor a early 90's vortech truck would use for the gauge)

There is a check engine light on because the ECU is looking for a smog pump that no longer exists on the car. i.e. there is NO power robbing emissions crap on this car, but the computer thinks there is, therefore, a check engine light comes on. (naturally)....  Tune the ECU to omit the smog pump and the check engine light will go away.  The smog pump is the only code it throws. everything else is legit. 

That's really about it. It's a good reliable car. 

There is NO hail damage on the car, NO bondo, the hood has a little issue on the front corner, and obviously, it needs paint, but this car has a serious hotrod potential, just throw some cash at it and make it into whatever you want to make it into! I left a lot of room for alteration and customization. Paint it whatever color you want, do whatever you want to the motor, it's all up to you.  

The interior is in good shape, but the drivers seat has 2 small holes less than the size of a dime, and i'm sure there are some stains in the carpet. the headliner needs new fabric, and the car could stand new weather stripping. the DASH IS FACTORY ORIGINAL AND HAS NO CRACKS!!!!  

The AC would work if it was hooked up and re-charged. I never got that far.. it worked before we swapped the motor. I opted not to plug it in and charge it for the additional power over comfort.

if you don't know what any of that means, i suggest not buying the car. I'd rather sell it to someone who has an idea of what i'm talking about and how to do some of this stuff on their own / a weekend shade tree mechanic who will soup the motor up to push some serious power, make it look nice, and CHERISH this car, instead of someone who will neglect it and trash it out. 

The motor and trans had 45k miles on them before putting them in, probably 48000 or less by now. it runs and drives RELIABLY, does not die, does not stall,  rear shocks are new, lots and lots of work went into this car. the harness was put together by a 25+ year certified mechanic, the engine swap was done at a motorsports shop, and it's all legit, just a few things to finish up as your budget allows. I've put as much as i want to into this car in order to make it a solid platform for you, it's time to let someone else soup it up!!! 

Has brand new 18" iroc rims and the tires were brand new, but are showing some wear because of the front suspension needing to be redone. 

This is a cast iron block with cast iron heads.  and a B-body intake since they don't really make a cold air intake for an LT-1 swap in a 3rd gen camaro, and the RS didn't come with the standard cold air intake that the Z28 did. 

YOU are responsible for having this car towed out of state, i will -not- call to get quotes, i will -not- set up shipping, i will -not- put one ounce of effort into getting this car to you, you are 100% responsible IF you want it shipped, which is why i am listing this as LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. It will drive anywhere you want to go with it, and i'll gladly pick you up at the airport for $150, just add gas to the car and your butt to the seat and drive it across the country. doesn't matter....   with that said, it's sold as is.

 I just don't have time to make a bunch of calls to get shipping rates for a bunch of people who aren't serious about buying it, and i can't even guess at what shipping would be for a car. I honestly have more important things to do. I own a business, and my time is LIMITED and worth $150/hr.  I'm not trying to be rude, just, please keep that in mind when you email me asking me questions that i have covered in this auction already. If i HAVEN'T covered something, please ask. if i have covered it, I won't respond if i don't think the question is worth answering. If i don't answer, then please feel free not to bid.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues

Fri, Feb 27 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
