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).

I am not a professional photographer (I'm not even a good amateur photographer)-but if anyone wants additional photographs from any angle or any close-ups, please let me know and I will do the best I can. If anyone would like to look at the item before bidding, it is located approximately 1-1/2 hours northwest of Little Rock, Arkansas. 

When you have received your item and are tickled to death, please leave me positive feedback and I will reciprocate in kind.

Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500

Sun, May 3 2015

As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]

Fri, Jul 3 2015

Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
