What You're Getting
Up for you bidding pleasure, I have a 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS convertible. This beauty was specially ordered from the factory with gray leather interior, power mirrors, a 5.0L V-8, an automatic transmission with overdrive, 16" aluminum wheels with wheel locks, air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, a black convertible top, and "Pollo II Green Metallic" paint. This car has been my baby for about 9 years, and I'm sad to see her go, but a number of factors are forcing my hand. I bought this vehicle in 2004, and according to the dealer, am the second owner. Incredibly, much of the original paperwork that came with the car including the original owner's manual, the original window sticker, the factory order sheet, delivery inspection certificate, and other bits of paperwork were included when I purchased the vehicle. I even have the cassette tape that was originally included from Chevrolet that goes over "New Vehicle Features" on side 1, and "Radio Controls" on side 2! She has over 234,000 miles on the original engine, which I'll admit, is a lot. But honestly, the car runs so well that it's always been a source of pride to be able to tell someone the mileage. The oil is changed regularly and she uses some, but no too much. The body is in good shape with a few small dings. She's been parked under cover (either under a carport for the first 3 years I had her, or in a garage since then) nearly every night I've owned her. According to the previous owner (who I spoke to after I bought the car) she was in a minor fender-bender, causing minor damage to one of the quarter panels. I've driven this vehicle up and down most of west coast, from Seattle WA, to Los Angles CA, and all the way out to the heart of Texas and to be completely honest, I'd feel comfortable jumping in and doing it again tomorrow.
Stuff I've Done
When I first bought the car, it still had the original AM/FM stereo with a cassette player. I didn't even own a cassette, so I had a new (at that time) Pioneer CD player installed, with a 12-disc CD changer in the trunk. HOWEVER, I still have the original Delco radio that came with the car and it will be included! I also had a Viper car alarm with remote start installed around the same time (more on that below). In the last year I've replaced the seat coverings with a gray vinyl material that looks like leather, but will last longer. The top was replaced in 2011. The original cloth top was showing its age, and the plastic rear window was pretty badly clouded over, so I had the top replaced with a vinyl top that, again, should last much longer. I also replaced the heater core in 2011 and had a mechanic replace the radiator in 2011. I've got a file stuffed with nearly every receipt for anything I've had done to the car, from oil changes to major repairs.

What Needs Attention
I've done my best to care of her, but she's not perfect. The clear coat is failing on nose of the car, as well as on the outside mirrors. The rest of the car has the scratches and nicks expected on a 20 year old paintjob. The cruise control has never worked since I bought it, although the dealer swore it worked when he brought it onto his lot. The air conditioner doesn't blow cold air anymore. I had it recharged several years ago, but it didn't last. I suspect there's a leak in the A/C somewhere, but living on the coast, haven't needed it, so haven't really worried about it. The aluminum wheels have some scrape marks from getting to close to curbs. The car came with a factory alarm that didn't work anymore when I purchased it, so I put in a fancy after-market Viper alarm with remote start. Unfortunately, the alarm didn't take kindly to the coastal air after I moved away from the hot, dry Central California valley. Neither the alarm or the remote start work anymore. The carpet is original, and thus somewhat faded, but since it's gray anyway, it's not particularly noticeable. The front tires are getting close to needing replacement, but the back tires still have plenty of tread. The in-dash CD player has recently developed a habit of not ejecting CD's when the eject button is pushed, but with a 12-disc CD changer in the trunk, that hasn't been much of a problem. And finally, the top leaks. When I had the top replaced, the guy who installed it tore a piece of the weather-stripping where the top seals against the rear deck area behind the passenger-side door. It was a minor tear at first, but putting the top up and down has made it worse. Although I park the car in the garage whenever I'm home, I can't avoid all of the rain showers, and when she's left outside, the floor behind the front passenger seat gets wet along with the floor of the trunk.
Final Conclusions
All in all, you'll be getting a great car. Although I've never entered her in a show, the previous owner did, and he apparently won several awards. With a new coat of paint, and a few other details, I'm sure she could be an award winner again. On more than one occasion I've left the car in a parking lot, only to come back and find someone's business card stuck under the windshield wiper with a note saying "If you ever wanna sell, call me!" but since I never really thought I'd sell this car, I never kept any of them. Even now, she still turns heads! The third generation Camaro body is beautiful and distinct and the convertible top makes this one something extra special and extra rare. Add to that the 25th Anniversary package, and you've got a real collectable. And believe me, there's nothing like driving down the coast, along a twisting mountain road, or cruising those long, straight stretches of California's Interstate 5 with the top down, the sun on your face, and the wind in your hair! Don't let this beauty slip away! :-)

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
