This is my 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with automatic transmission that I've decided to sell as a project car for someone else as it's currently non operational. The car is clean, I am the sole owner of it having purchased it in 1996 and I have the title for it. The quick history of the car is that I drove it stock for a few years, then had it modded and drove it many years like that. Then in 2006 I tried a more extensive modification on the car at a local speed shop where they put in a 383 stroker motor. Long story short they couldn't get it working right and the car has been sitting in my driveway since 2006 exactly as you see in the photos. The mods done to the car are as follows: - 383 stroker engine with forged pistons- custom cam- new injectors- coated headers- re-programmed obd1 cpu, but I still have the original obd2 cpu- bilstein shocks- poly bushings- panhard rod- frame rails- k&n filter kit- 3.73 gears- yank 3200 stall converter- beefed up transmission- flowmaster exhaust- zr-1 replica rims, 17" x 9.5" front, 17" x 11" back- nitto drag radials from and back- slightly stronger front brakes There is also an after market audio system installed with Sirius and XM, an amp and two sub woofers in the rear hatch area. I had another local shop diagnose the issue as well as a Chevy dealership and both came to the same conclusion. Basically there is blow-by on one of the pistons, which results in pressure building in the crankcase area, which then pushes the oil pan off the car a bit resulting in oil splattering on hot engine parts and hence smoke. The last dyno done on the car which I still have was on June 6 2006, and it read 422 torque and 308 hp to the rear wheels, so it reads low due to the blow by. I gave up trying to fix it and bought a new car long ago, and the Camaro has been sitting in my driveway ever since. It has not been started or moved since 2006. Rather than let it keep sitting there I'd prefer to pass it on to someone who can get it running again. The mileage shown on the odometer is for the old 350 engine, not for the 383 replacement. The car is in the Los Angeles area (Thousand Oaks) if you would like to drive by and see it. Feel free to ask me any questions!
