I have a black, manual transmission, 1998 V6 Chevy Camaro for sale.  The car has ~118,000 miles on it and it comes with two sets of tires and rims. A set of winter tires is currently on the car and these are mounted on Z28 rims. The stock rims have all-season tires and one tire didn't pass inspection, so I didn't put that set on it. You'll need to replace two of the tires. The other two have life left on them.  I do have another all-season radial not on a rim that will work and your welcome to take it.  It will replace the tire that didn't pass inspection, but the treads won't match.  Suffice it to say, this car comes with lots of tires and rims.

Here are some details about the car.

The car is a good runner!  It has only been driven in the summer and early fall for the last six years and has probably seen maybe 1,500 miles a year since then.  There's nothing mechanically outstanding about this vehicle. It has the original exhaust that runs fine. The undercarriage is in good shape. The brakes are in fine shape and the car passed inspection without a problem (except for the one tire). The brakes do NOT pulsate, which is common with the Camaro if driven in the snow.   It has not been driven in the snow in six years.  The interior is in good shape, although there is wear and age on some panels. Fog lights work perfectly.  All the window motors are working, but a little slow. The power locks, trunk release, and security system work fine. The air conditioner works fine and blasts frigid-cold air very well. The battery was replaced in 2009. The alternator was replaced in 2010. All the marker lights, turn signals, and headlights are operational. It comes with two new remotes.  All scheduled maintenance and oil changes were done on time, with oil changes performed well ahead of schedule (every 1,500 miles) when the car was new. I always use synthetic oil. 

One nice feature of this car is the upgraded sound system.  When I bought the car in late 1997, I had the original stereo, speakers, and audio wiring removed. Gold-plated wiring was installed with a Boston Acoustics speaker system throughout the car. Tweeters are custom installed on the dash and the high frequencies project off the windshield to produce a nice sound field that centers the audio in the middle of the cabin. An Alpine amplifier is installed in the rear pit of the vehicle and all the wiring runs to this. The head unit is an Alpine CDA9805 50W (x 4) system coupled with a BBE crossover and 11-band EQ w/fader. I intended to custom build a subwoofer over the rear pit and wire it into the amp. The BBE crossover would manage the subwoofer and all the other speakers. I never got around to installing this, but it's an upgrade that could be added to the car. The Boston Acoustics speakers were replaced with a new system in 2006 that offered better low end. The car is a fun car to drive and I love the audio system in the vehicle. It's always been a primary part of the driving experience, for me.

Now for the problems.  This car is fifteen years old, so you have to accept a few things.

The right side of the dash cluster is out. In 2004 it stopped working and then sometime in 2005 it started working again and then shortly afterward it stopped again. It might just be an intermittent problem that requires the cluster to be reseated; I'm not sure. I never pursued having it fixed. The dash cluster works fine, otherwise, and I can see the mileage by shining a flashlight at an angle over the odometer.  All the gauges operate fine.

There's a scratch and dent on the hood around the front passenger headlight (see pics) from the car lunging forward in the garage and hitting a wheelbarrow. :-( There is some paint peeling off the lower front grill. There are a few scratches and door dings from being parked in parking lots over the years (normal stuff for a fifteen year-old car). The hood was replaced from a minor deer hit at a slow speed (~20 MPH). The deer flopped on the hood and dented it. It was replaced in 2005.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I can supply more pics, if interested. Come and give it a test drive. I'd like to find it a new home. With a wife and new baby, this car doesn't fit into our family structure. I need to sell it and get an SUV.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
