(Rec'd several inquiries about
this Cam by bidders looking
at '66 Sting Ray in our other
auction so thot I'd list now
instead of grooming the car
a bit first after having recently
towed it in from AZ.)
This was originally a 6 cyl car
which now has in it a .60
over 454 w/ 12.5:1 pistons.
When I bought the car in
1998, it was stripped out
as a drag car and the engine
had been freshly put together
w/ what seems(ed) to be
brand new parts.
For instance, the carb was brand
new then but now, after 15 years, it
has an aged 'patina' to it.
I bought a wrecked '68 Camaro
in an attempt to bring
the '67 to a streetable condition.
This is why it has '68 interior
door panels and '68 tail lights.
Engine ran and pulled like
a freight train but oil press
would drop out unexpectedly.
Pulled distributor/oil pump to
trace problem to oil pan gasket.
Pieces of the 'squeeze tube'
gasket had broken off like
little worms and clogged
oil pump screen pick-up.
Anyhow, installed one piece
oil pan gasket but have
not reinstalled distributor
for 14 years. Engine
turns freely and has less
than 2 miles on it (b/c
the car couldn't legally
be driven in PA w/o
inspection). Car has been
garage kept in AZ last
9 yrs. I sprayed WD-40 in thru
plug holes and would manually
rotate every so often to ensure
rings wouldn't seize.
4 speed 'rock crusher' Muncie
shifts perfect and no noise.
3.00 open rear, no noise.
Brakes good. Stock/basic
drums all 'round. E brake
cable was removed but I
have most parts to (re)install.
Body is straight and rust free,
never hit w/ the following
(minor) clarifications:
1. Silver dollar sized area in
rocker panels at base of
hinge side of doors where
the magnet pull was weak
and you can see some body
filler.
2. 3" long 'crease' on pass side
(very slight deflection) above
quarter window where roof
begins to roll horizonal.
I tried to photograph this
but you can't really see it
unless at an angle which the
camera couldn't get.
3. Lower lip of pass side A arm is
pushed in slightly, as if the car
had pulled up too far when parking.
(To me, this is minor in the extreme
but in the interest of full disclosure
I'm mentioning it since I'm aware
of it having spent time under the car.)
Underbody and subframe is
also rust free.
All glass is good except as follows:
1. When the former owner was
welding-in the roll bar, care
was not taken to fully shield the
quarter glass behind the pass
seat so there is slight spatter
in a 3" x 5" area of tiny 'bumps'
which are hard to see but one's
hand can feel the irregularities.
2. Trailing edge of driver and pass
door glass has a +/- 1" streak/
scrape mark (from going up and
down in track?).
3. Lower left hand corner of
windshield has scratches
on the inside of the glass
approx the area of a thumb.
4. Pass side window is very
difficult to get up: the
window mechanism
operates stiffly. Down
cranking is okay.
To cover large gaps around
backlite and windshield, I cut and
fitted wood trim. There were no
clips remaining to attach factory
trim. It seemed like a good idea
at the time.
Pass side missing side mirror,
driver side mirror is junk.
Interior door panels and
those in rear seat area are crap.
Headliner is aftermarket
and, IMHO, serviceable.
Dashpad is cracked/repaired,
i.e. junk. Carpets no good.
Glove box door works fine
but latch had been broken
then repaired. Glove box liner
condition very poor.
I pulled front carpets up to
photograph floor boards.
They have a glaze of surface
dust/rust but are sound/solid/
not compromised. Rear pans
solid also.
Chrome on rear tail lights is pitted.
Front headlights are broken
bulbs (but will include halgen
fixtures to replace them).
Missing driver side '396'
fender emblem.
Gauges worked 14
years ago. Directionals didn't.
Wipers work but are not wired
to dash. Wiper motor from
1984 Dodge Diplomat.
Left front tire is like new
Uniroyal P215/70R14, RF
is same size and okay, rear skins
are grenades.
Paint job is spray cans, stripes
are stickers. I believe orig color
was white w/black interior.
Two hoods, one fiberglass,
one steel. No hood hinges
or hardware. Both hoods
have holes to accomodate
pins. Will include low
profile air cleaner and element
to clear steel hood.
Fiberglass hood is not perfect,
has some minor surface cracks
and a 3 inch area on driver side
edge that needs some filler/sanding.
Tow bar included in sale.
Tow bar needs repair.
Four steel matching chrome
wheels (pictured) are included
in auction. These are in addition
to the slotted aluminum rims
on the car. The ancient Firestone
slicks on the steel rims are no good.
Tires on the matching smaller
steel rims not included and I
will demount them before
successful bidder takes
delivery.
1968 rear bench seat and spare
driver seat included. Upholstery
on these are no good whatsoever.
Lower half of bench has been cut
to accomodate roll bar.
Driver bucket seat in car is good
cond but it was the pass seat from
'68 donor car so you have to reach
in for latch to fold forward. Pass
bucket seat in the car has patches.
No battery, no horns, no horn
button, no radio, not sure whether
blower is still there.
No ignition switch, dash mounted
starter button instead.
Radiator has leak somewhere at
bottom. I believe it is a minor
leak and can be repaired w/
a rad anti-leak additive but I
don't know this for certain. It
didn't leak when I bought the car
but did after I fabricated/
installed the fan shrouding.
Driveshaft is in tranny but not
bolted to rear. It was unbolted
and wired to the side for the
towing to/from AZ. Drag safety
breakaway loops for driveshaft
in place, front and rear. Missing
some piece(s) of these loops: they
are not complete.
One bolt on top of left rear
shock (in car body receiver
bracket) is broken in the receiver.
Top of this shock held in place by
one bolt instead of two.
Roll bar was not installed
w/ spreader plates at bottom
of bar where pipe(s) touch floor.
I removed front (diagonal)
bars since they obscured
entry to front seats.
MSD ignition, steel tubing
headers, glasspacks, traction
bars, frame stiffeners, elec fuel
pump at tank.
The only work I've done on
the lights is to get the rear
directionals to function while
being towed. The dash light
sw (to operate headlights) was
replaced w/ starter button.
I have light sw from '84 Diplomat
to wire in.
I have no idea how much of
the 'regular' wiring was abandoned/
gutted.
Heater is not piped up.
Pipe stubs are visible
at firewall.
Spare backlite, 2.68ish rear end,
steering wheel and column
from '68 donor car and fire
extinguisher included
as part of auction.
Disclaimer: I have described
what I could about the Camaro
to the best of my ability. There
is nothing about the car that I can
guarantee or warranty and I
make no claims express or
implied.
Car is for sale locally ($10K) and
I reserve right to end auction early.
Reserve set between 7000.00 and
8500.00
B & E Enterprises out of Kentucky hauled
'55 Pontiac for me from AZ to PA (2600 mi) for
$900.00 2 mos ago if you'll be freighting and
need a ballpark number.
No refunds, no trades.
Any ques, pls call (610-754-8845)
or email anytime.
My very best,
Jim C.

Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car. Read more at Green Car Reports. EV drivers using the ChargePoint network have traveled over 196 million miles without gasoline. ChargePoint has tallied over 9 million charging sessions for a total of 65 gigawatt hours of energy. Based on national efficiency averages of three miles per kWh and 23.9 miles per gallon, this has saved 8.2 million gallons of gasoline and 60 million pounds of CO2. This accounts for what ChargePoint calls a "huge environmental impact." Read more in the release from ChargePoint below. The Environmental Impact of ChargePoint Drivers Campbell, Calif.– We all know electric vehicles (EV) have enormous environmental advantages over gas vehicles. Plug-in EVs reduce carbon-based greenhouse gases, improve air quality and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. EV drivers on the ChargePoint network have had a huge environmental impact. With over 9 million charging sessions delivering 65 gigawatt hours of energy, EV drivers have avoided over 60 million pounds of CO2 and 8.2 million gallons of gasoline, and driven over 196 million gas-free miles. *Based on national averages: EV efficiency of 3 miles per kWh, gas efficiency of 23.9 mpg and a net savings of 0.924 pounds of CO2 per kWh.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.
