If you are looking for a perfect looking car with no blemishes, stop reading. This car was produced back when car companies were trying to save money and used inferior paint products. The clear coat has begun to peel.
So, what do we have here? A true muscle car. Over $15,000 has been invested into this car, mostly between the motor and transmission. A custom made 3 inch catback exhaust has been installed. This is a car for a true enthusiast, not a cheap beginner car for teenagers.
25th Anniversay, Black, 1992 Z28, Automatic, 5.7 liter engine with MPFI. 173,000 miles.
The good:
5.7 liter motor rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago, easily 400+ HP
BBK throttle body
Edelbrock heads and headers
a more agressive cam than stock

Clean interior, non smoker, minor wear/tear on Driver's seat(see pic, from getting in/out), carpet is complete
Solid body, no undercarriage rust

Cruise
The bad:
A/C need recharging (brand new compressor put in last year, system prob has a small leak)
Clear coat starting to peel in places
Minor damage to driver's front fender
2 small rust bubbles on roof (end of driver's door rail and passenger's side top of windshield)
Speedometer needs work (odometer works normally, wrong speedometer motor installed)
Computer eproms need to be reflashed to accomodate motor changes
I bought this car while I was in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii, and after retiring I moved to Iowa. The car has been stored winters since I brought it here, so it's not been exposed to the rust causing salts they use on the roads. I am guessing the previous owner had the windshield replaced as the one rust bubble looks like it was from a careless installer nicking the paint (see pic).
On the speedometer, it had started jumping 20-40mph and the shop replaced the motor on the instrument cluster. The speedomter started reading high (and the shop was bought out), so after a lot of research, I believe the motor they used is what they call an 8-pulse motor and the sender on my transmission is a 12-pulse, so the speed showed ~1.5x actual speed. It's currently set up to be accurate at 60mph, so it reads low <60 and high >60. As stated, the odometer works normally, it has a separate motor.
This car is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction with no notice.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

Sunday Drive: Taking a gaze into the automotive crystal ball
Sun, Oct 22 2017Mankind has long been fascinated by the future. So it makes sense that this past week's top stories were all about cars, trucks, and SUVs that won't be hitting the market until the 2019 model year. And right at the top of the list is the Ram 1500. We've come to know Ram as the truck maker that styles its pickups with cues cribbed from big rigs, but that look has slowly evolved over time into something uniquely its own. The next Ram 1500 continues this trend, with a newly refined look that we can't wait to see in person. Up next is the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Pickup trucks have been, continue to be, and will remain the best-selling vehicles in America. And General Motors is a leader in the field, with two distinct offerings with which to entice buyers, one from the bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand and one wearing the slightly more upscale GMC badge. The Chevy looks to get LED lighting elements for 2019, which ought to keep the truck from looking dated when compared to the Ford F-150 and the previously mentioned Ram 1500. From there we move past pickup trucks and into SUVs and sedans. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee looks to get toned down a bit with its next refresh, and the '19 BMW 3 Series continues its slow evolutionary journey at the top of its aspirational sales pedestal. Finally, spy shots give way to official production reveals for the 2019 Audi A7 and Polestar 1. This pair of European luxury cars won't compete with one another – one is a rakish hatchback and the other a sports coupe – any further than for the eyeballs of our readers, but both proved popular enough to merit inclusion in our weekly roundup. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2019 Ram 1500 spotted without the classic crosshairs 2019 Chevy Silverado spied with new LED accents 2019 Jeep Cherokee reveals a much more normal face 2019 BMW 3 Series spy shots reveal production lights, new interior details 2019 Audi A7 revealed: More torque, refined styling Polestar 1 First Look | The 600 horsepower hybrid Scandinavian Green Audi BMW Chevrolet Jeep RAM Volvo Truck Hatchback SUV Future Vehicles Hybrid Luxury Performance Sedan sunday drive polestar 1
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
