This is a 1981 Chevrolet Camaro with the factory Z28 Option. 1981 was the last year body style for the second generation "F Bodies". This car is in very good to excellent condition physically and mechanically. The car has spent the vast majority of its last 33 years in Georgia. I have personally inspected the floor pans and trunk pan and they are in excellent condition. This is a really solid rust free car that I drive on weekends when the weather permits. Listed below is a summary of the car's current condition:


Paint and Body: The car was repainted red in the past few years, originally is was a brown car. It looks excellent but is not a show quality paint job. I would score it an 8 on a 10 point scale. The body on the car is rock solid. I have a car fax that I found in the car from 2008 which shows no reported accidents or damage. All of the window glass is factory original and marked Soft Ray. I have inspected the frame on a lift and do not see anything unusual. The car was reported with 51,775 miles in 2008 and has 56,836 today. I have no way of knowing the true mileage as the title was marked exempt by GA many years ago. This car spent most of its life in Albany, GA and has no rust in the floors or trunk. The trunk has not been splatter painted and we can pull the interior carpet for inspection should you wish. There is nothing to hide with this car from that perspective. All of the factory decals are in place and the car is certainly a high end driver as it stands today. The wheels are the factory option N90 alloy wheels and they are in excellent condition. They have all 4 center caps and the original black alloy lug nuts. There is a matching set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires in size 245/60/15 that are in excellent condition.


Interior: I have just replaced the carpet. The dash has two cracks that I have filled rather than installing a dash cap. It is not an unsightly crack and filled pretty well. The original seats are in good condition, however, there is a split in the drivers seat base. Rear seats are in excellent condition. The car is equipped with a custom sound system which includes a period correct Alpine cassette player with new Rockford Fosgate speakers. All of the gauges work with the exception of the clock. All of the lights (dome, courtesy, trunk) work. The cigarette lighter works. The seat belt buzzer works. This car has not been disassembled as most have and everything is there and works as it should as I have found. If I were going to replace anything in the interior it would be the door panels and the weather seals at the door. They look good but are not perfect with imperfections from age. The headliner and trim are in good condition and it is all there. 


Engine and Mechanicals: The engine is the numbers matching 350ci motor and I have matched the last 6 digits to the VIN. I have felt above the gas tank and can state that the build sheet is still there and available to the next owner. I have looked the motor over and all of the factory connections and parts are still there. It still has it original Rochester carburetor and has not been modified. The A/C will work but needs to be recharged. I have just replaced the entire exhaust system with a stainless dual Flow Master set up which set me back almost $600. All of the fluids have been recently changed and the motor runs and idles flawlessly. I also changed out the spark plugs and air filter this past weekend. This car sits in my garage and does not leak oil or transmission fluid to speak of. I have not invested any time making the motor look pretty. It is all there and original to the best of my knowledge and sounds and runs great. This is an area where the next owner can take the car to the next level. The engine bay needs to be detailed but there is no rust to deal with (including the core support, it is solid). All of the lights and signals work, the horn works, the wipers work. The power windows work. The power door locks work sometimes (actuators are weak). The engine idles at 600 rpm with a great loping sound, it runs great and the transmission shifts as it should. There is no smoke or smells coming from the engine bay or exhaust. The car is also equipped with air shocks on the rear.


If you take the time to check my feedback you will see that every couple of years I sell a car. All of my feedback has been positive. If you have questions, please ask. I am selling this car to purchase a new Jeep Liberty for my daughter for her high school graduation. Other than that, the car can sit right where it is sitting today. I have a clear title in my name along with odds and ends like the 81 dealership brochure and original magazine articles on the car. My buy it now is set at $11,250. A couple of weeks ago a similar car was bid up to $13,400 but did not meet reserve. Haggerty estimates the value of the car at $14,000 for a #3 car. The values on the 2nd generation "F Bodies" continue to rise and solid cars are hard to find. If you have read this far....thank you for your interest. If you need additional photos or have any questions please contact me through ebay.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012


Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
