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!

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
