1968 Chevy Camaro

Two owner rust free California car, clean and clear California title and registration, built in Los Angeles and is an original V8 car by the VIN.

The Camaro was bought from the original owner who had it customized in the mid 70’s, she drove it for a few years then stored the car for approximately thirty years, only reviving it a couple of years ago.  It has had only one repaint in 45 years. The only filler or bondo on the entire car is the little that was used to blend the rear flairs, there is also no cracking or flaking around the flairs, ( a magnet sticks firmly to every panel, even the normally rusted or repaired areas such as the, truck floor, lower front fenders, quarters and lower edges of the doors, these are all rust and bondo free on this car ). The paint has faded a little over the years and there are some nicks and scratches but the exterior still looks presentable. The car is also hand pinstriped in the 70’s style. The front inner fenders were removed when the car was modified as was popular in the 70’s, but they will be supplied with the car, ( they are easily bolted back in place ).    

The wheels are the original US made 70’s Ansen slot mags in 15x10 and 14x7 with new white lettered tires. The stance comes courtesy of period correct Gabriel HiJacker air shocks.

The engine is a 350 V8 with high performance heads, a mild cam, Edelbrock Torker intake, Edelbrock carb, headers and a dual exhaust. The engine does not overheat, smoke, leak any fluids or make any noises it shouldn’t. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a TransGo shift kit and B&M ratchet shifter.

The interior was redone from headliner to carpet in the mid 70’s and still looks new. New second generation Camaro seats were bought and fitted before the whole interior was tastefully retrimmed in black velour. The 70’s Radio/Cassette with additional amp and graphic equalizer still works great as does the retro Dixco tach. All the glass is good with no cracks or scratches.     

All in all the car is an original 70’s street machine, built in the 70’s, not a recreation or an overdone restoration, no quick cheap paintjobs or amateur repairs to make it look pretty to sell. It has perfect patina and looks, sounds and behaves as a real street machine from that era should; mean, loud, fast and dangerous.   

Please feel free to ask any question, any inspection is welcomed.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady

Mon, Nov 3 2014

Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon.
