Interesting.

 

Appears to be a pain jane Camaro(maybe an RS, they had 10 bolt rears if not an SS) is that was stripped down (looks like interior is gone?) To be raced. Price is decent, if you want a track car.

 

Metal has been cut up for the tires. If someone wanted to "restore" it for street use it would need quarters and fenders at least on the outside.... Sounds like everything original is gone except for the 10 bolt shell, so useless(or extremely time consuming) to try to make it "original" or as close as it could get, but wouldn't be a bad "restomod" project if the floors and trunk are good, just keep the drive train and fix the metal, put an interior back in, etc. Also, its missing side marker lights which makes it looks like it has a bare bones electriack system, have to do wiring for lights, etc.

 

Transmission is M-21...don't think those every came on 10 bolt cars, so odd he would spend up for a trans and keep the 10 bolt for track use if that's the case

Spent the day going over the Camaro with a clay bar and then gave it a good wax with Adam's Americana Carnuba wax. That stuff is amazing. It has been a long day.

Made an appointment for Friday, at the Mustang Tuner. Find out what this thing makes!

If you have ever had a car on a dyno, that sight plays out in your mind as a stranger gets in your car and floors on it. (Murphys law + I hope the guy has a clue)

Guy in our club was hit by a train Sunday. Flipped 4 times. He was released from the hospital less than 24 hrs after the accident. Emergency personnel said the car saved his life. The train was cited (speeding 17 mph over limit, no lights or horn)

He got extricated and a helicopter ride out of it

Wow! Glad he is okay.

 

That is why I ALWAYS look both ways before crossing railroad tracks. And never park on them while waiting for a light to change.

 

I have a feeling he will be getting a fat " oh, PLEASE don't sue us" check from the railroad, since it has already been determined its their fault!

Sure glad the guy in post 430 is OK. Know the next Gen Camaro are going to be smaller, but these things are near bullet proof from the various crashes & hits I have seen. Cannot imagine how the old Gen 4 F body would have looked in a similar accident, much less the driver.

    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
    • JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
