Thanks for looking at our 1974 Chevrolet Camaro.  This car has fresh paint and interior, new tires and wheels and a very strong rebuilt small block 350 and transmission.  It's FAST AND LOUD so if your looking to sneak around, this isn't your car. You can depend on firing half a dozen car alarms in your trip through the parking lot.  In underground parking, you can make mayhem while devastating car alarms to your hearts content.

We bought the car as an unfinished but running project.  The motor and trans had been completed rebuilt but otherwise the car looked pretty sad. 

We found that indeed the engine and trans were very strong.  We suspect she's a 383 stroker but aren't sure.  The car runs cool in LA traffic.  Headers feed Flowmasters into short pipes that end at the axle. The B&M QuickSilver shifter works flawlessly.

Thanks to her 1974 Birthday, this beauty is SMOG EXEMPT in California.  No  annual testing or requirements. 

This is a Factory Air Conditioned car but the compressor is not present.

Tilt Steering Wheel,  Aftermarket AM FM CD with removable face.  Just installed new 6X9 Speakers on the new package shelf.  Tons of volume and bass.  Sounds great.

Glass is good all around. Passenger door glass may need adjustment.  New rubber door seals, roof rail seals, window fuzzies, etc.  We understand that this is the sought after small back window model?

New upholstery, headliner, carpet and door panels. Grant steering wheel. Updated dash.

Fresh Repaint to factory original white.  Later model hood scoop. Pans and trunk are solid

New 18" REV Wheels and Sumitomo tires. 20 lock lugs and key.  New Gabriel air shocks.

Runs and drives well.  Lots of attention and always welcome at cruise nights and weekend car gatherings.

Will post engine pics. Ran out of light and time.

This Camaro is currently licensed, registered and insured in California.  No sensors, gps, abs, tpms or any other pms. The most complicated part of this Camaro is likely the radio.

The California title is clean and issued in the sellers name.

Included is a complete build book with receipts, build pictures on CD and other documents related to this car. 

Values on these pre-smog Camaro's continue to escalate as collectors realize how few cars are left.

Parts are plentiful and reasonable.  Get this nice one and you'll be right back to 1974 in a bad ass way. 

Open to southern California area partial, up or down vehicle trades.  pre 1975 Muscle cars, Volvo P1800, Metropolitan, Alfa Romeo, Porsche 911, 240Z 260Z 280Z, older Cadillac, Camaro, Mustang, Vintage race cars, older Jaguars, British sports cars, kit cars, project cars, 1948-1986 interesting cars.  No boats, motorcycles or aircraft please.

 Thanks for all of your questions and comments!!  Posting a few more shots of the Camaro.  In doing so, I'm reminded of the hipo Edelbrock intake and carburetor, HEI ignition and the other upgrades this car has had.  New front marker lenses are in the back seat. (see pics)  Quite a car and seeing anything like this in the parking lot is pretty rare indeed.  Good luck bidders!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.
