I am listing my 1974 Z28 Camaro that I purchased in 1987 again due to a buyer default on the last auction. I am the third owner and when I purchased the car, I purchased the body and a 10 bolt rear end. I then put a 12 bolt rear end in it with 4:10 Richmond gears. The transmission is a 400 turbo with a shift kit and a 3000 stall converter and the trans was worked on by a local professional. The engine is a 454 bored 30 over with a steel LS 7 crank with dimple rods and 11:1 TRW Pistons. The intake is a twisted torker intake with a Holley 780 carb. The cam is a Competion hydraulic cam (305/ 575), and it has a Pete Jackson gear drive. The heads have double valve springs and Cam Dynamics roller rockers. I don't remember the exact size of the valves in the heads, but they we're ported and polished in the late 90s. It has an HEI ignition with an MSD 7A. There are 2 half inch aluminum fuel lines that run to the front one for the carb and one for the Nitrous. It also has a cheater nitrous system and a B&M ratcheting shifter with the nitrous button on the handle. The headers are new two inch headers and the photo is of new Flow Masters which are three inch and the pipes are three inch also that go with the car and never installed. I never really got the nitrous and the plugs dialed in right, but the car ran consistently in the mid 12 s in the quarter mile with the Hoosier Quicktime d.o.t tires on the back which are screwed to the rims. There is also a new aluminum three core radiator that was just installed this year.
There has never been any metal taken out of the car and the LS 7 scoop on the hood is a mold in type and is cracked around the mold and was like that when I purchased a vehicle. There is some paint chipping on the hood, roof, and trunk deck near the fender wells and rusting on the passenger side and some underneath. The paint job is from the early 80's and has not been painted or touched since. The metallic in the paint is the type that changes colors in the light.
I have not raced this Camaro on the street or strip since the late 90's but have driven it to car shows including this year. It has been in my garage on a cement floor since and starts and runs great. If you live close, we can go for a spin and through the quarter mile on the back road where I still shift it at six grand. I'm selling because I do not have the money to play with it or restore it. Got a sone going to college and others growing up too. This is my baby so let me know if you have any questions.
If you check out the vin, it came with the high horse 350 with the munci four speed and is an LT/Z28. The fifth digit being a "t" signifies the LT/Z28 (1S87T4N172068) The clutch peddle is still in the car wire tied out of the way. If anyone would like a video of the car running or additional photos just let me know.
THIS IS A LOCAL PICK UP ONLY AND IF YOU WANT IT SHIPPPED, YOU'LL HAVE TO ARRANGE THAT ON YOUR END. $500 IS DUE WITHIN 48 HRS AT THE END OF THE AUCTION AND THE BALANCE DUE WITHIN SEVEN DAYS BEING CASH, OR A CASHIER'S CHECK OR MONEY ORDER FROM A U.S. BANK WHICH WE WILL CLEAR BEFORE THE CAR LEAVES.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 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?

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
