I am listing my 1974 Z28 Camaro that I purchased in 1987 again due to a buyer default on the last auction. I am the third owner and when I purchased the car, I purchased the body and a 10 bolt rear end. I then put a 12 bolt rear end in it with 4:10 Richmond gears. The transmission is a 400 turbo with a shift kit and a 3000 stall converter and the trans was worked on by a local professional. The engine is a 454 bored 30 over with a steel LS 7 crank with dimple rods and 11:1 TRW Pistons. The intake is a twisted torker intake with a Holley 780 carb. The cam is a Competion hydraulic cam (305/ 575), and it has a Pete Jackson gear drive. The heads have double valve springs and Cam Dynamics roller rockers. I don't remember the exact size of the valves in the heads, but they we're ported and polished in the late 90s. It has an HEI ignition with an MSD 7A. There are 2 half inch aluminum fuel lines that run to the front one for the carb and one for the Nitrous. It also has a cheater nitrous system and a B&M ratcheting shifter with the nitrous button on the handle. The headers are new two inch headers and the photo is of new Flow Masters which are three inch and the pipes are three inch also that go with the car and never installed. I never really got the nitrous and the plugs dialed in right, but the car ran consistently in the mid 12 s in the quarter mile with the Hoosier Quicktime d.o.t tires on the back which are screwed to the rims. There is also a new aluminum three core radiator that was just installed this year.
There has never been any metal taken out of the car and the LS 7 scoop on the hood is a mold in type and is cracked around the mold and was like that when I purchased a vehicle. There is some paint chipping on the hood, roof, and trunk deck near the fender wells and rusting on the passenger side and some underneath. The paint job is from the early 80's and has not been painted or touched since. The metallic in the paint is the type that changes colors in the light.
I have not raced this Camaro on the street or strip since the late 90's but have driven it to car shows including this year. It has been in my garage on a cement floor since and starts and runs great. If you live close, we can go for a spin and through the quarter mile on the back road where I still shift it at six grand. I'm selling because I do not have the money to play with it or restore it. Got a sone going to college and others growing up too. This is my baby so let me know if you have any questions.
If you check out the vin, it came with the high horse 350 with the munci four speed and is an LT/Z28. The fifth digit being a "t" signifies the LT/Z28 (1S87T4N172068) The clutch peddle is still in the car wire tied out of the way. If anyone would like a video of the car running or additional photos just let me know.
THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AND IF YOU WANT IT SHIPPPED, YOU'LL HAVE TO ARRANGE THAT ON YOUR END. $500 IS DUE WITHIN 48 HRS AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AND THE BALANCE DUE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS BEING CASH, OR A CASHIER'S CHECK OR MONEY ORDER FROM A U.S. BANK WHICH WE WILL CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR LEAVES.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
