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!

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]
Thu, Aug 7 2014It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.
Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series
Thu, Apr 9 2015Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
