1979 4 Speed Camaro Z28 406 Small Block 3.73 Axle Ratio Red With Black Interior on 2040-cars
New Haven, Michigan, United States
I purchased this car as a roller, previous owner had intended to make a pro touring and had sold off engine and trans then lost interest.
I am a master certified ase technician since 1980, also the year of the first f body I purchased, probably 20 f bodys since 1980 It took a lot of parts from 3 different vehicles, 1979 truck for engine, 1979 trans am for super t10, 1978 f body for all brackets and under hood items. Engine is a .030 over 400 small block truck engine with a mild cam, holley 1850 carb, starter and alternator rebuilt at local shop Trans super t10 was opened up and inspected, 11 inch bellhousing and pressure plate. New flywheel Many new parts Windshield, Aluminum Radiator, Headers, H pipe Exhaust, Carpet, Sof seal door seals, brake lines, fuel lines, etc Rear axle posi 3.73 ratio All a/c parts have been reinstalled but have not been charged with freon Car has a near flawless paint job with great attention to detail Interior minor signs of wear passenger seat has about a 3/4 inch spot on bottom The last time i drove vehicle radio was cutting out at time but will include another same radio As I said in beginning of listing I have had many fbodys and this is the cleanest in 30 years, cleaner than my keeper. I don't know much history of this car but can tell is has had high end work done to body it seems like its all metal. The right 1/4 panel has had some work because the pinch weld is not a factory weld. The body is straight an gets all the compliments when seen. All pinch welds including lower doors are clean, trunk is solid, no spare tire or jack. I like it but get mixed views on steering wheel it has a Trans Am steering wheel with a z28 cap in center, tilt column. Car drives straight down the road, tight, has had an alignment. I don't have enough documents or history but tend to believe by the condition of this car that the mileage is correct. Please call with questions I just sold another car and asked the buyer if my description of vehicle was good and accurate and he said yes. Its hard to list everything so call. please contact to ask questions Ken 586-382-1356 Vehicle is for sale local and reserve the right to end auction early. I don't get involved with shipping, I will make myself and car available if buyer makes all shipping arrangements. |

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.
Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
