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!

Zombie cars: A dozen discontinued vehicles people still buy new

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
