1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 on 2040-cars
Vallejo, California, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email: nammikos@netzero.net .
Very original and numbers matching X33D80 Z28 Camaro. This Z28 was born in Ohio and stayed
there until I brought it to California last year. I had planned to keep it for a long time but life has a way of
changing your plans. This Z28 runs and drives excellent! All gauges, lights, blinkers and wipers work as they
should. Even the dummy lights in the dash still work. The horn works with both steering wheel buttons but does not
blow loudly. This Z28 has the rare center fuel gauge, in dash tachometer without console option. Car has its
original power front disc brakes and stops on a dime. Tires are all new as well as all new kyb gas adjust shocks.
Three of the four 15" wheels are the original YH code wheels. Car has quick ratio no power steering. Front end has
new bushings, ball joints and alignment. The interior is the original standard black and is in excellent condition.
The headliner is coming apart at the seams.
All of the body panels appear to be original to car and are very straight and solid. Car appears to have had one
repaint in its original and rare code 53 Glacier Blue. Being an original Ohio car there is some rust on the body
and underneath as I will describe as best I can later in ad.
The engine currently in the car is a 383 stroker bottom end with the original 302 heads, valve covers, intake,
distributor, pulleys, and fan. The original numbers matching 302 DZ shortblock is out of the car and is included in
sale. It will need rebuild. The transmission is the original numbers matching Muncie M21 close ratio. The rear end
is the original BU coded 12 bolt posi. Car also comes with its original flat hood as pictured.
Now for the rust. Please note that I am not a body man or expert mechanic but I will describe as best I can. Most
of the undercarriage rust appears to be where the tires slung the Ohio road salt. The rear frame rails are rusted
mostly at the ends and will need at least partial replacement or repairs. The trunk pan will need at least partial
replacement or repair. Shock towers are excellent. Both rocker panels will need replacement or repair. The floor
pans will need at least partial replacement or repair. The radiator support will need replacing. The front
subframe, control arms, and rear end axles have some pitting but appear to be very solid and should clean up fine.
There are a couple holes at the seam on the firewall. The dash is rusted at both corners by the windshield. Some
body panels also have some rust but it does not appear that any will need to be replaced with more than a patch.
The driver's door skin may need replacing. I know that this may sound like a lot but I am attempting to be
extremely thorough. This Z28 is by no means a rust bucket and is well worth the time and money to restore. It can
be driven as is and restored as desired.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
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.
