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.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

Mustang, Camaro, Challenger gallop onto USPS pony car postage stamp set

Tue, Jul 19 2022

Some of America's most iconic cars are about to be immortalized on postage stamps. A new set by the U.S. Postal Service will celebrate the the golden era of pony cars, featuring five classic examples of Detroit iron. Each one is beautifully illustrated in oil-on-canvas style, with subjects in motion and sunlight glinting off the chrome, and would add a nice touch to any first-class letter. The pony car segment was all about (relatively) small, sporty alternatives to the full-size land yachts of the 1960s. They typically came equipped with 6-cylinder engines or small-block V8s. The category was named after the Ford Mustang, hence  the name. Some, though, argue that the Plymouth Barracuda, which was launched a couple of weeks before the Mustang, is the first. Luckily, the Falcon-based Mustang's distinct styling generated a sales sensation, or we might be calling them fish cars. Appropriately, one of the featured cars is a Mustang. But it's not just any Mustang. The 1969 Boss 302, seen here resplendent in Bright Yellow, was created for the hotly-contested SCCA Trans-Am racing series. One of its main rivals would have been the 1969 Chevy Camaro Z/28, also created specifically for the series, and is included in the set in Fathom Green. Representing Auburn Hills in the set is a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in Plum Crazy, while Southfield's American Motors gets a nod with an AMC Javelin in Big Bad Orange. The Mustang's platform cousin, a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR-7, is portrayed in a gorgeous Burgundy Poly that almost looks incomplete without Neko Case on the hood. It's not the first time the USPS has honored America's rich car culture on its stamps. In 2013, it issues a series of muscle car stamps with the help of Richard Petty. That set featured a 1966 Pontiac GTO, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1970 Chevelle SS, 1970 Plymouth Hemi ’Cuda and, of course, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. Another set in 2016 featured classic pickup trucks. Going further back, a 2008 release had chroed and finned automobiles of the 1950s and a 2005 release featured sporty American cars of the same era. The pony car stamps will debut on August 25 at the Great American Stamp Show in Sacramento, California in partnership with the American Philatelic Society. The public is free to attend the dedication ceremony, but you must RSVP first. After that, they will be available at local post offices and on line at the USPS store.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
