Watseka, Illinois, United States

For sale: 1991 Chevy Camaro RS Convertible with factory ordered 3.1 liter V6      (231 cubic inch) motor, automatic overdrive transmission, factory convertible, air conditioning, power brakes and steering, cruise, and AM/FM cassette player. It is a two-owner car with 110,000 original miles on it – it is a great driver and is a model that you don’t see (700 made in 1991). Car comes with manual, new car cassette, original order sticker, and clear title. It is selling for a fair price with no reserve!*****   

BODY: Car has a white exterior, gray cloth interior and carpet, and a black convertible top. Paint is original and very nice driver quality except the front end was repainted due to chips (2 years ago), the  hood was replaced with a fancier 1992 hood, and the ground effects on the bottom of the doors were repainted. The car presents well except for: the underside edge of the trunk lid is rusty and needs to be either replaced or cut out and patched (just on the underside – closes/locks fine), some slight surface rust around the wheel well opening, just on the lip, on the driver's side front and rear wheel openings, and there is a spot of rust under the spoiler on the driver's fender front and a slight blister under the mirror mount on the driver's door. Underside is clean and structurally sound. There are a couple of touched up scratches on the trunk, a couple of dings on the driver’s door, and some light spider age cracking on the rear bumper.

Black convertible top is also original, it is in good shape, however the back plastic window is out of it and would either need to be re-sewn in (details on the internet on the kit/piece to buy and how to do it), or the top replaced or left as it is. Edge welting on the top shows some age cracking, but works fine and presents fine. This car has a manual top, it has an electrical switch to open the top well (switch is not working), but it does have a manual pull to open the well instead, and it works fine to raise and lower the top to/from storage. The front windshield is also new as it got a rock chip a year ago while driving and the interior is very nice except for some wear as shown on the driver’s seat. 

MECHANICAL: Car runs and shifts great – within the last year, the car has had a complete tune up and fluid change, new injectors, new EGR valve, a new fuel tank, fuel pump and sleeve, lines and sender (GM pieces), and new exhaust (Flowmaster). I have also had the brakes gone through – redone rotors up front with new pads, turned drums in rear with new shoes and new brake lines. Tires were purchased new and now have 10,000 miles on them (Goodyear Eagle P225-60s). Car has also had a new battery installed, a new drive belt, and new style headlights. Car honestly runs strong and correct with no issues – pretty amazing performance and fuel economy from this engine – love it with the top down in summer!*****

TITLE: Car has a clear title in my name and will be signed off to new owner.       

PAYMENT: Paypal can be used to pay the $1000 deposit for the car within 3 days of the sale’s end. Balance is due within two weeks after that – either by cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer (call for bank, account, and bank contact details). If fully paid for up front, car can stay stored here for up to 30 days at no charge, after 30 days, I will refund all money, except the deposit, and relist the car. 

QUESTIONS: If questions contact Dr. Brian using the email link above and to the right in this ad that mentions “ask seller a question”.  Car is located 1.5 hours south of Chicago, Illinois (zip 60970) and about 15-20 miles west of the Illinois/Indiana state line.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
