72 Chevelle 6.0 Lq9 Chevrolet Chevy 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 Ls1 Ss Camaro Nova on 2040-cars
Neenah, Wisconsin, United States
All New: (unless stated otherwise)
Similar setups to this make in the low 500’s for horsepower and this will have lots of torque do to the custom cam design. If you stick it you should be able to get into the 10’s on 91+ octane and still get 20+ highway mpgs. The battery is centered (left to right) in the trunk because it was meant to be a street car, first. There is an external shutoff that should be good for Real Street drags as long as you have a piece of tape pointing to it because it is somewhat hidden. There is no rust in the typical body areas. I believe the rear quarters and one of the fenders have been replaced. The seals are fairly new and the glass is all good. I found a few pin holes in the trunk but stopped them with CorrosionX for now. The could easily be fixed with epoxy and repainted. The underbody is quite clean. Both bumpers are fairly new. All fluids are synthetic: oil, trans, diff, brakes, steering. I put Zero Rust (similar to POR 15) and a butyl sound deadener on the firewall before installing the AC assembly. I will include the 1 3/4 rolls that is left. I planned to do the whole interior. The transmission has a constant pressure setup so no TV cable is needed. It will shift into OD around 35-ish (if I remember correctly) which is better for MPGs. If you don’t want it in OD that early then just use the ratchet shifter. With the lock-up converter, do not shift into OD (4th) with more than 1/2 throttle. If you want to “get on it” I would keep it out of overdrive for maximum transmission life. It really needs to be repainted. A previous owner did a poor job. It looks OK from about 10 feet away. The lead lines show along the roof line do to a lack of primer or something and there is some rough body work along the rockers.. There is a ding in the drivers door about the size of a quarter and at least one good run in the clear but that is low enough that most people don’t see it. The carpet is faded and needs to be replaced. The seats and headliner are in good shape. It has an oil leak (drip) on the back side of the motor. Using a PCV rather than just a breather may fix or reduce that problem. The engine compartment wiring has been hidden (for the most part). The wiper motor was deleted so if you are in an inspection area that could be a problem. RainX once every spring will do more than the wipers ever did. I finally got this running last fall. The FAST system is still learning and so am I. The motor has never been over 5000 and the shift points should be around 6000-ish. Do to the overlap on the cam and how sensitive the IAC is I have the FAST idle set at 750 and opened the throttle blades to 750-800 (on the tach). This was the best way to get a smooth idle otherwise it would tend to hunt (surge) because the IAC is sensitive. The LS intake manifold is kind of cold blooded since it does not have any hot engine oil splashing on it. When it is cool out I have had the idle stay high because the inlet air temp sensor gets cold soaked. The idle and cruise are set at 14.4 air/fuel which is the cleanest setting for E10 which is only 6% ethanol (usually) according to reports from a person that does fuel testing at gas stations. I have new header gaskets and longer bolts because I think there may still be a leak which could cause some incorrect readings on the O2 sensor. The flanges on the collector have dead soft aluminum gaskets so I think those are good. I have receipts for most of the important items. If you do not have a laptop I can include mine, for programming the MSD. It is a clone and my intent was to remove the badges when it got repainted. When you make 500+ horsepower you don’t have to pretend that it is something that it's not. ;-) I am selling this because I was off work for nearly 6 months and my finances took a significant hit. The title is clear with no lien. |

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
Peter Max staring down $1M lawsuit over Corvette collection sale
Wed, Dec 17 2014Pop artist Peter Max recently sold off his collection of 36 vintage Chevrolet Corvettes – one each from 1953 to 1989 – for an undisclosed amount. The new owners have already announced plans to restore some of them and auction the models off sometime soon. Up until then, the sports cars had been languishing in various garages around New York City for decades and were caked in dust and grime. However, Max's end of the transaction has just become more complicated, because two men are suing the artist claiming he employed them to complete the deal first. The men allege that Max hired them to broker the sale of the 36 Corvettes in exchange for a 10-percent commission, according to the New York Post. They claim to have emails and text messages proving the existence of the deal, and are taking Max to court for $1 million over the squabble. The collection of Corvettes was amassed in 1989 as part of a prize package from the television network VH1, and Max bought the cars from the winner intending on using them for an art project. He never got around to it, though, and parked the sports cars around New York, until he finally sold them over the summer.
