Up for sale is my 1971 Camaro Z28. Car was a rust free CA (built in CA and spent most of it's time there til 1999). It still retains all of it's orig. sheet metal & trim w/ one older professional repaint. Car was disassembled, stripped and resprayed the orig. placer gold w/ correct blk stripes.  All the gaps on the hood, doors and trunk are as they were in 1971. Orig undercoating remains underneath. There are a few small bubbles that surfaced not long after it was painted on the lower quarters, but have not gotten any worse over the yrs. Orig. #'s matching motor was removed a few yrs. ago, rebuilt and has since been stored. The orig. shortblock is .30 over, balanced and blueprinted, forged pistons, orig. LT1 rods, cleavite bearings & ARP bolts. The current motor is a rebuilt 1969 350 block w/ the orig heads and intake from the #'s matching motor, 350/350 hydraulic cam which runs very strong. Ceramic coated headers lead into correct style Z28 exhaust. Trans is a period correct close ratio m21 (non #'s) and the rear has been upgraded to a 12 bolt (non #'s) 3.73 posi. Body bushings and frt suspension are all upgraded to polyurethane. New springs frt and rear. New period correct Goodyear polyglas f-60 tires. Orig. Z28 rims have been powder coated. Interior is mostly orig. & in excellent cond. Saddle cloth seats were redone at one pt. Tach and amp guage are not working.  I have all orig documentation for the car. Orig window sticker, build sheet, owners manual, financing paperwork and protecto plate. I wanted a clean 2nd gen to resto mod, but decided this car was to orig and unmolested. Only 4 owners since new. Car is a driver, not a trailer queen. It has been on the Hot Rod Power Tour two times (2009 & 2011). Turn key and drive anywhere. Too much to list. Must see. This is a 43 yr old car & I have tried to be as accurate & honest as possible in the description. I encourage you to come & see the car as you will not be disappointed. This is NOT a clone, it's a very well documented real Z. Additional pics/info available upon request.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
