1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd on 2040-cars
Tinley Park, Illinois, United States
1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 4spd, 75,927 miles, red with black interior. 350, close-ratio 4spd, 3:73 rear-axle ratio. The original owner had kept the vehicle until 1998 before selling to the gentleman that I purchased it from. The car is absolutely 100% rust-free with all it's original metal and paint/decals. All numbers-matching. The interior is 100% original and in excellent condition right down to the Delco AM/FM cassette radio and GM floor mats. There have never been any added tachs, gauges, etc. ever. I have documentation including the build sheet, owner's manual, sales agreement, tire/battery warranty, etc. This has been an adult-owned, well cared for Z28. The previous owner had a very high-dollar custom 406 small-block professionally built by "A&R Racing" in Virginia. He had removed the perfect-running 350 and preserved it. The engine swap, Griffen radiator, aluminum drive shaft, full flowmaster 3 in. exhaust, and Competition Engineering "slide-a-link" traction product have been the only modifications to the car. Everything had been very tastefully done purely for improved driveability and performance deserving of the Z28 name. The previous owner bought the car to drive and felt that the car was too sharp looking to have a low horsepower 350 under the hood. Therefore, he upgraded the engine rather than take away from the originality of the 350 by adding bolt-ons. The original 350 would just need to be cleaned/detailed and would be ready to reinstall, if so desired. The car can be easily returned back to it's original state quickly, right down to the original drive shaft and factory exhaust with the pancake-style catalytic converter which are also included with the car. I had also taken it upon myself to add color-keyed Z28 wheels to enhance the appearance. I have also saved the factory gold Z28 wheels which I will also include. The last picture shows the car with the original gold Z28 wheels. I have seen many F-bodies of this generation and can honestly say with 100% confidence that this is one of the nicest all-original cars I've seen. As stated above, there have been NO wrecks, NO rust, and the body is 100% original with every panel it left the assembly plant with. The doors do not sag (as typical on most F-bodies of this generation) and open and close beautifully (original hinges...see pictures).
Here are some specs on the $10k 406 engine by A&R; The engine makes a very honest 510-hp and 490 ft-lbs of torque @6800 rpm. The engine has only the best components; custom solid camshaft, internally balanced forged callies 4340 crankshaft, 4340 forged 6" rods with floated pins, custom forged 10.5:1 flat-top pistons with ultra-lite pins...the list goes on. Many hours were spent on the Canfield aluminum cylinder heads and the Team-G intake manifold topped with a blueprinted Holley from the Carb Shop in California. The radiator is a Griffen custom-fit "use your original GM top support" radiator with two rows of 1.25 intubing that allows the engine to maintain 160 degrees. Everything has been done in as close to factory manor as possible right down to the 3" custom-bent flowmaster exhaust. NOTHING on this car was disturbed or hacked whatsoever ! This is a true collector car with documentation, all original parts included, and is fun to drive. Please feel free to ask any questions before placing a bid. I strongly encourage any interested parties to inspect the vehicle in person. Please contact me with ANY questions. A non-refundable deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of auction end and balance due at pickup which shall be 7 days after auction end. I have a clear title in-hand and neither the vehicle nor the title will be released until final payment/funds have cleared. I do not have the means to deliver the vehicle, therefore the buyer is solely responsible for any/all costs and arrangements. Please contact me with ANY questions before placing a bid as any miscommunications can be costly and time-consuming for all parties involved. I will reply as promptly as possible to any inquiries. Vehicle being sold AS-IS with no warranties of any kind, express or implied. Thank you for looking.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
