For sale to a GOOD HOME ONLY is a rock solid 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with actual, true, one owner miles. Not only are the low miles, provenance and condition important here but the Sunset Orange Metallic exterior is probably THE hardest color to find. Let alone in this condition. In the opening comments we stated that the vehicle is for sale to a GOOD HOME ONLY. This vehicle has been Simon's only child. Unfortunately due to a stroke this vehicle is now available for sale. REST ASSURED, if there is any word that a potential new owner is wanting to modify, customize, bolt on high performance crap, put on a hood scoop, stick some goofy neon lights underneath, slap on some stupid 12 inch tall "street" spoiler, drop in a 13 inch television screen or otherwise alter this vehicle into some "piece of art" then please look elsewhere because we have no interest in passing this on to you. At a minimum, If you plan on doing these things then don't be a moron and tell us about your intentions. It would be wise to keep it to yourself. The owner has been in tears over this and the last thing he needs is to have his memories of this car tarnished with thoughts of it's demise. Now that we have that out of the way, let's move on to the Camaro.

Simon purchased the Z28 brand new and has been the only owner since that time. The vehicle has not been altered in any way from it's original form at all other then after purchase, he spent $149 (back then) at the local Zeibart to have the vehicle rust protected. The vehicle has been stored in his garage during the winter months and has NEVER NEVER NEVER seen a Michigan winter. The original tires were recently replaced due to cracking and age but they ride smoothly, quiet and perform perfectly. He always kept the Camaro's paint protected with wax. This was done every spring, summer and fall since new. The vehicle has absolutely positively never ever been smoked in. Simon does not smoke and would not even allow anybody to drink or eat while riding. This Z is equipped with power windows, power locks that WORK PROPERLY. The tilt and cruise control WORK PROPERLY. All of the buttons on the steering wheel for the radio functions and the radio itself WORKS PROPERLY. The T-Tops DO NOT LEAK nor are any of the rubber seals around the windows rotted from age like most of the ones you see. There are absolutely NO warning lights displayed nor has there been any warning lights displayed. As stated, the tires are new. The vehicle was just in for a fluid change and inspection where it passed with no known issues. The exterior is amazingly glossy with no paintwork or repairs anywhere on the body. It literally shines like a new car. Interior is rip, tear and wear free. No odors and no excuses. I personally drove this vehicle last week and put about 250 miles on it. I was most surprised by the LACK of squeaks and rattles. This sucker is amazingly quiet while driving and going over bumps. Other then the roar of the V8 engine it even handles and sounds like a new car. THE ONLY ITEMS I NOTICED that I would like to disclose are as follows. The brakes work perfectly and according to the inspection have lots of life left. BUT there is a SLIGHT and I mean SLIGHT pulsation when the brakes are heated and applied. Most wont even notice but as picky as I am, I did notice it. My guess is over time and miles, the new owner may have to turn the front rotors at some point. Most parts stores do it for $10 bucks a side. The only other thing that I noticed is the bottom of the rectangular exhaust tips are starting to get some rust most likely due to the exhaust vapors sitting in them after the vehicle is turned off. The exhaust seems quiet at idle AND when I stomp on it so I am guessing this is more cosmetic then anything else but again, I did notice it. There are no scratches and the undercarriage is rust free. I have included photos of the underbody to prove that. The vehicle has the T-Top sunshade attachments that are still in the wrapper they came in. I took a photo of that as well. I hope I covered everything but if you need further information feel free to email me. Interestingly enough, 42000 Camaro's were built in 2002. There were only 1875 (about 4%) of that total production line produced in Sunset Orange including SS, Z28 and base Camaro vehicles. 30000 of the 42000 had rear defoggers which THIS Z28 HAS . 28000 of the 42000 had leather wrapped steering wheels with the radio buttons on them which THIS Z28 HAS. 24000 of the 42000 had removable T-Top panels which THIS Z28 HAS. 19000 of the 42000 produced had Traction Control which THIS Z28 HAS. Simon's Camaro is highly optioned but with the leather delete. This really helps narrow down an estimate of how many (if any) other Camaro's were ever built and equipped like this one. Subtract the estimates of the base and SS production figures then consider the high option content and rare exterior color. Those numbers alone bring this one down to at best, 1 of a few hundred. Then how many were ordered with tons of options but cloth seat surfaces??? 1 of 50??? Then how many had this interior color??? 1 of 25??? How many had the chrome wheels instead of the flat silver wheels???? Then how many are stock, unmolested, still on the road and have super low original miles???Well we know of 1 and that is the one for sale here today. In a few years when everyone is clamoring to get there hands on these which one do you think will be worth the most? I could be wrong but usually the most valuable are unique colors, options and condition of which this Z28 has hit every category. This vehicle is not a new $40,000 Camaro meaning it does not come with a warranty. The vehicle is sold as-is where is. Buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges, title, plate and taxes in your home state. If you are truly interested in the vehicle I can price some shipping rates for you through a friend of mine that is in the business. DO NOT jerk my time off just because you are "curious" and have nothing better to do. I am gainfully employed, work hard and am very busy. I do not have time to chit chat about the history of Chevrolet. But if you are on the fence about shipping then email me your zip code and I can try and get a quote for you. I will answer emails as fast as I can and will forward any info you need as fast as I can but to serious buyers only. The family is very sad to see this go and Simon is even more upset. He always said how this Camaro called his name and he treated this car better then anything or anyone else. We are very prayerful that it does end up in a home that will love it as much as he did and we are confident it will be as reliable and dependable as it was for Simon. I will add any information that is appropriate as I get it and post it on the listing. Any bidders with 5 or less feedback MUST contact me before placing bid . By placing the winning bid you are entering into a legal agreement to PURCHASE the car NOT get first dibs on looking at it. Please make sure your husband, wife, banker, mother, father etc are fine with you purchasing this vehicle before you bid!

Again, please feel free to email me with any important questions. Good luck and God bless!

Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent

Wed, Nov 5 2014

A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research. US crude oil futures have dropped to their lowest in more than two years. Saudi Arabia cut oil costs for the US and raised them for Europe and Asia as the US has increased output.
