I am listing this '87 IROC Z-28 Camaro for a friend of mine. The IROC has a 5.0L 305 ci tuned port injected V-8 engine and a four speed automatic overdrive transmission. The engine runs strong but I believe that the fuel injection throttle plate assembly needs disassembled and cleaned. The engine has a low off idle skip in one spot but if you accelerate just a little it clears up and runs good. I currently have the throttle position sensor unplugged as this seems to make the car run better thus this makes the "check engine" light come on. The Z-28 drives fine, brakes fine, and rides "stiff" like an old C-3 Corvette { Yes, I loved those old C-3's } and has nearly a brand new set of tires on it. The body is in very good condition with NO major dents and No rust damage. The paint is in really good condition and shines well { there is some slight scuffing on the passenger front corner please look at the pictures }. The interior is in good shape { seats, door panels, console, etc. } but the dash pad has some kind of top cover and it has wrinkled from the sun. The IROC has T-tops and the rubber weatherstripping around them is good and soft therefore no leaks. The Z-28 will need the rubber side window wipes for they are cracked up from age. The rear hatch glass lock is broken therefore it doesn't latch, it will need the electric retracting latch motor assembly to fix this. Please keep in mind that this is a 26 year old classic third generation camaro that needs some fixing up but the best part is that you can drive it and fix it up as you go. I was putting gas in it today and had a lady pull up beside me, rolled the window down and said to me " Hey, nice car ". I smiled and said " Thank you " and she drove away. I realized then that these factory IROC Camaros are getting rare and hard to find and destined to be as collectible { and high in price } as the first two generations of Camaros before it. The owner has the IROC for sale locally and reserves the right to end the auction at any time. Please look at all the pictures and ask questions and I will get back to you. Cash payment and pickup of vehicle is expected within 7 days of auction close. Buyer is responsible for making all arrangements to pickup vehicle. I am willing to help load vehicle if the buyer uses a transporter. All items are sold as is, where is. Please look at my feedback and bid with confidence, thanks and happy bidding. |

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.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
