This is a 1983 Guldstrand GSS Camaro, modified new by legendary race car driver Dick Guldstrand at Guldstrand Motorsports.  This is one of a handful ever made. I will do the best to tell you ever detail about this car that we (Guldstrand and I) have uncovered thus far. This car is in the process of being documented, and at the time of final sale will include a certificate of authenticity from Guldstrand Motorsports ensuring this car is the real thing. I have been in contact with Guldstrand, and have been informed this was the only Camaro they built that was sold new at Berger Chevrolet, near me in Grand Rapids, MI. These cars were available from mild to wild. Two press cars were fitted with superchargers, several with the stock 305 4bbl, and 2 with a 350 cubic inch GM crate engine. The best info I can find says this engine was rated at 249HP/329FT/LB. It still has the "HENCHO EN MEXICO" 4 bolt crate engine in the car, with the correct original 83 aluminum 4bbl intake manifold. This car was in the process of being converted to an automatic transmission, which is sitting in the car now. The clutch pedal, and cable are still in place. It is also fitted with the correct originally equipped EPSILON 15x8 mesh wheels, and I have all 4 centercaps as well. It is also equipped with a GM Performance parts 140 speedometer originally, which is retains. The primary mod, and claim to fame on these cars were the suspension modifications, which Guldstrand Motorsports is most known for. This car has all urethane bushings through out, from new, and retains them. These were tested and pulled .94g on the skidpad. Truly amazing, and rare, and in my opinion worthy of a restoration. 


This is a non running car, I do not know if the engine will run or not. There is some rust through the floorboard on the driver side, under the pedals. There is also a spot on the drivers A pillar, and above the drivers door. I have included pictures of these spots. I am selling this car as needing a full restoration, and it is not currently drive-able, but can be rolled on to trailer. I've rescued it, but cannot afford to restore it, and would hate to see it hot rodded because it is, to the best information I can find, the only 1983 Guldstrand Camaro that is known to still exist. All of the parts to restore the suspension are still available from Guldstrand, right off the shelf. Any questions, ask, and I will do my best to answer them, and as stated, when you take delivery this car will include a certificate of authenticity. The car is worth $1500 in parts quite easily, but as I said, I would like to see it restored and maintained, because it is a true piece of Camaro history, and one of, if not the rarest 3rd generation camaro.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
