Texted the builder asking him to aoread the word. He said he ia closing on a house in a few weeks or he'd take it(asking 18k locally). So he is spreading the word to his car guy circle (lots of pontiac fans should find out this way)

Installed a dashcam in my Camaro. I had some clown in a beat out red VW Cabriolet try and cause a crash to become an insurance millionaire. I took lots of pics, and had a nice chat with the State Trooper who stopped.

 

Fortunately, a cop was on hand, and my ins co told him to go to hell.

 

If there's a next time, I'll have video.

Did he hit your car?

 

I bought a second camera, have one in my truck and car. Was a PITA to remember to take it out and put it in the other vehicle.

Well Ryan, I guess I won't make it to the Camaro thing in Bowling Green. I was still planning on it if I had the car then....when it ran.....

 

If the ebay buyers pull through, they have 3 days after auction end to pick it up(unless they are a GMTC member, I will give them more time). That would make it Monday....

 

It has almost 40 watchers. Probably just people from the sites I'm on wondering how bad its going to hurt.

You can still come out and check out the 6th gen

Car looks beautiful! Shame it's got a blown motor now. What are you expecting to get out of it, $10-12k?

Building that motor from scratch would cost 15+. I'd think the heads and intake(which are NLA, and sought after by forced induction people.) are fine. That $2-3k carb is fine.....look up the parts if you don't believe me!

 

Someone on a classic camaro site thinks I could see 15, paraphrase his words "I see it as a car with a lot of known good parts worth that much".

 

I already mentioned the guy who built it, thinks its worth 18k.

 

Who knows, its ebay. I've seen stuff go over value from bidding wars. I've seen smoking deals barely get attention.

Well best of luck! I'll be watching it and possibly may have a bid or two from me.

A guy that vuys abandoned projects just talked me into overhauling the description. I added/revised it quite a bit. Sone of the pics were pre-mods...new are in description

A guy that buys abandoned projects just talked me into overhauling the description. I added/revised it quite a bit. Some of the pics were pre-mods...new pics and reformatted list are in description at the bottom.(the engine bay and interior pics in ebay gallery were before I did some stuff, like the AC, powerbraid, and upper ras hose, I put in all new Aeroquip Socketless fuel hose front and back a few months ago) Along with PHS docs for the car.

 

Probably screwed myself out of some money buy rushing the ad to begin with.

Went to start the Trans Am up today since I haven't driven it much since buying the truck, and it didn't want to start. I only took the battery tender off a week ago, but put it back on after it wouldn't start so I can try again tomorrow.

 

The thing is the key fob opened it just fine and the headlights came on so there's some battery power at least. It made a REALLY loud noise when I tried starting it. Almost like if you've ever heard someone trying to start a car that's already running except louder. May be a bad starter. At least that's my guess.

Two people lookig at it now. I'm at work but its in m y driveway and my wife said they looked impressed when the hood was opened.

 

That just what I need, people to SEE it in person. A barely functioning engine that still looks sweet.... Mustang guys especially love it under the hood. (Most the local Camaro guys, as in new camaros don't know whats going on, big generation gap with F-bodys).

    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?   
    • Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
