I purchased this Camaro from the original owner in December 2013.  At the time, it had 37,000 miles on it.  As can be seen in the odometer photo, it now has 40,000 +. 

I replaced the factory sound system with a high end Pioneer.  It has a CD/DVD player and also a built in navigation system and hands free telephone.  The microphone is in the center of top of windshield so it can pick up the voice of both driver and passenger.  There is a satellite radio antennae which is mounted in the windshield side of the dash. It’s wired so the DVD player can be used while driving (for the passenger’s pleasure).  There is a back-up camera.  Since the video can be on the entire time the car is moving, I use the back-up camera screen as a rearview mirror which is really handy as the rear window in the convertible top is really small.  All factory speakers were replaced with new ones.  The highs are crisp, and the lows are solid with no rattling. There was also a subwoofer and amp installed in the trunk.  Total cost for the sound system was about $2,000.  All original sound equipment goes with the car.

At the same time, I had the windows tinted, including a windshield eyebrow.  That was another $200.  I then put 17 inch wheels and tires on the car- another $1,200. 

I ran this ad once before with very little response, so I decided to put it back on with the original equipment.  The 17 inch tires don’t have 500 miles on them.  The factory 16 inch tires are not brand new-but as can be seen in the photo, there is a lot of tread left on them. 

Shortly after I purchased the vehicle, I got a 2-1/2 inch cowl induction hood.  When I had it painted, I had the headlight buckets painted to match (as I never thought that black look was appealing). There goes another $1,000, 

Clearance lights on all four corners have been replaced with black lenses.  All original lights go with the car. The cowl hood goes with the car.

The original owner had replaced the original top with a factory one just before I purchased the car.  The top is so taut that several people have asked me if it really goes down, or is a padded hardtop.

There are a few chips in the front bumper cover.  I’m not going to count them, because there may be a couple of more by the time it is sold, and I don’t want to be pinned to a number. As can be seen in a couple of the photos, there is a scuff on the side of the driver's seat from the original owner sliding in and out. After a couple of weeks, I no longer noticed it-but just wanted to point it out. 

The dent in the passenger's rear quarter panel was on the car when I purchased it. As you can see, it is barely noticeable (the original owner had to point it out to me). The scratch on the top of the fender happened in the body shop when I was having the hood painted. They covered the whole car with plastic to prevent overspray from the hood getting on the car. I feel when they trimmed the plastic they scratched it. However, since they deny it, there is nothing I can do now. As is obvious, unless you look at it head on, you can't even see it.

Please keep in mind, this car is almost 20 years old and it is not a 100 point show car, but it is a way above average driver. As I have nothing to hide, I would prefer people take a test drive before bidding-but that is up to you.  I am located approximately an hour and a half northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas; about one hour south of the Missouri state line on highway 65.

For something that is unmodified, the car sure feels like it has a lot of power.  I was very pleasantly surprised at the gas mileage I was getting-around 25 mpg on open road.

Once I got all this work done, and drove it for a short time, I realized I just didn’t enjoy it that much.  I’m used to sports cars, and this car just feels big to me -although I think most people would be tickled to death with it!  I bought the Miata (which can be seen in some of the photos, as I thought it would suit me better.  I liked it just fine.   However I no longer have the Miata as it was sideswiped by a deer.  I am now in the process of buying a Porsche as I feel that will satisfy my wants/needs.

Anyone interested in shipping, I will not make the arrangements, but I will work with your shipper any way I can-just about any time, any day as I am retired (yes, even old farts like cool cars!)  The original owner was also older.  

I’m quite sure I’m leaving something out.  I will try to answer any questions as honestly as possible.  If anyone wants photos from other angles, please let me know.

 I know this car has a lot of years/miles left in it.

I forgot to mention, the car presently has the factory wheels and hood on it (but everything mentioned in the ad goes with it).

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled

Wed, Feb 11 2015

After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
