Up for sale is a 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 with a rare 5-speed manual transmission (Getrag 284). The car has about 225k miles on it, but the engine has only 120k miles on it. The transmission is original. This car has been my daily driver for years. I don’t have enough time to dedicate to this car and I’d like to find it a new home. I’m looking for someone within the Z34 or wbody community to buy this car and keep it going for years to come.

The car overall condition is fair. It is a daily driver, but it could use some work (see “issues” below). I will also include various new parts I accumulated over the years that I never installed or never needed (such as a water pump and brake pads, although they are not needed).

Clear title. Cash buyer, in-person only. Car is located in Minneapolis MN. Feel free to ask questions.

New Parts & Recent Work:

Brand new battery

Brand new ignition module

New starter

New rear struts

Newer rear brake lines, rotors, calipers, and pads

Timing belt (205k miles)

Clutch (155k miles)

Has NGK iridium plugs

Has cold air intake and cone filter

Issues:

-Shifting issues – it requires more force than usual to move the shifter to the left side to shift into 1^st and 2^nd. Each gear still works and there is no grinding. Both shifter linkage cables appear to be fine, so I assume it is an issue with the internal gear selector forks.

-Headlights (needs dimmer switch, which will be included but needs to be installed – in the meantime the high beams work)

-Parking brake (needs new cables and lever – have parts, just need to be installed)

-Needs new ABS sensors (I’ve been driving without them for years)

-Minor oil leak(s)

-Driver’s side door latch and lock (must remain unlocked in order to function properly – I have a replacement from a salvage yard that needs to be installed)

-Driver’s side power window (I have a new motor and regulator that need to be installed)

-A/C (not sure if it needs a Freon refill or a new compressor)

-Likely needs alignment

-Will need outer tie rods soon (have parts, just need to be installed)

-Trunk leaks small amount of water occasionally (have new weather stripping, just needs to be installed)

-Catalytic convertor rattles a bit, nothing significant.

-Head unit needs to be reinstalled (alpine CDA 7863 included)

-Rear speakers need to be reinstalled or aftermarket speakers with boxes can be hooked up to existing aftermarket wires)

-Rust forming over wheel wells and a couple other common areas

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.
