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.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

GM to invest $150 million in Flint to boost heavy-duty pickup production

Thu, Jun 13 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors President Mark Reuss said on Wednesday that the automaker is investing about $150 million at its Flint Assembly plant in Michigan to boost production of heavy duty trucks by another 40,000 vehicles a year. Reuss announced the investment at the Flint truck assembly plant wearing a United Auto Workers pin. The Detroit automaker had announced back in February it was adding 1,000 jobs in Flint to build a new generation of heavy-duty pickup trucks. GM did not say that the latest investment would add more jobs at the plant, but Reuss said there could be opportunities to add workers as the launch of the automaker's new trucks progresses. GM has been under pressure from President Donald Trump and lawmakers of both parties to add jobs in the United States after it said last November it would idle the Chevy Cruze assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and likewise had no new products for three other U.S. manufacturing plants. The Flint investment will include upgrades to the plant's conveyors and other new tooling, and will be completed in the first half of 2020. GM has invested more than $1.6 billion in the plant since 2013. Last month, GM said it would invest $24 million to increase truck production at its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands have long trailed Ford's F-series heavy duty trucks in the lucrative segment. The new Chevrolet and GMC heavy duty trucks have been re-engineered to tow heavier trailers, and keep pace in what has become an arms race among the Detroit Three automakers to claim superior torque and towing capability.

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
