Vehicle came out of New York. Previous owner has had this car for over 12 years and has maintained and driven it on occasion, keeping it garaged throughout during the fall and winter when not in use. Tons of work was done to it, and it has A LOT OF OPTIONS as you read from the list above. Body was restored sometime in the early-mid 1990s with quality base/clear coat paint that has held up well. I believe the rear quarter panels were replaced at one point, as well as the hood and possibly the front fenders from what I was told, but not sure on those. 

Under the hood lies a GM crate "Fast Burn 385" motor, which is basically a 350ci with factory 385hp. Motor itself has ZZ4 guts, along with GM Aluminum performance heads and TONS of other go-fast goodies such as ceramic coated headers, MSD ignition, MSD distributor and plug wires, BeCool aluminum radiator, Aluminum intake, Holley 750cfm double-pumper carburetor and lots more, added on top of the factory 385hp the engine produces right out of the box! It is as nice a street motor as you can buy, and it cost well over $8,000 new. It is mated to a Turbo Hydramatic transmission, with 10 bolt posi-traction rear end with sway bars. 

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears. Brakes have been checked and adjusted and stop well. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with little if any play in the steering wheel.

Interior is all stock as you'll see in the pictures. Seats are in fairly good shape with some wear on the driver's seat but no large rips. Dash is very good. Door panels are nice. Carpet is older but still fairly presentable. Convertible top is in fairly good shape with no holes. Steering wheel has normal wear.  Overall a very presentable interior for a good driver.

Chrome is presentable throughout with some light pitting.
Excellent frame rails and trunk, with salt shakers still there. Rear shock towers are also very nice. 

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall VERY GOOD with NICE NICE shine but is older so it has some minor chips, touch-ups, couple of tiny dents here and there and other small imperfections from age and use. Transmission has a manual valve body so you can shift it as you drive. Underside has had some patching on floorboards and inner rockers and although looks ok and is solid throughout, it should have been done properly with new panels. Both doors sag a little and could use hinge adjustments or new hinges. Perhaps a light or two not working here and there. Console gauges work but not 100% accurate. 

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 45 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GOOD LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives good, then this is the car for you. If you want a concourse correct show car, it will need a considerable amount of restoration to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet 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.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
