This ad features a stunning 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, with all the right features; 427 big block V-8, 4 speed transmission, posi- traction rear-end and cowl induction hood all encased in black, it just doesn’t get any more musclecar then this! This car is extremely clean rust wise, mechanically dependable and strong running and a real show stopper ready to cruise as is. The car has not been heavily modified and essentially stock structurally so it is a great car to further detail to a more factory appearance, or it is a great candidate to further modify into a real street terror.

Mechanically this car needs nothing so if you are not much of a mechanic you are all set, and the paint and body are fantastic. As you read through the write up you will see most everything has either been rebuilt or replaced. This is a great driver and ready to go with plenty of oppurtunity for you to add your own details to make it your own. This car is so striking it collects lots of attention whether it's cruising down the street or parked.

Finish -- Grade A-: Black paint is a recent clear coat base coat paint job. The shine/luster is very good and looks as good in person as it does in the pictures. It has not been fully detailed, but a show level detail and wax is all this paint really needs.

Body -- Grade A-: The body is nearly all original with only some light restoration, when new rear quarter panels were installed at one time. Features a factory steel cowl induction hood, and front and rear factory spoilers. The body work was done professionally and it looks great, and lets face it black paint does not lie, and this car looks sharp. The trunk floor is very clean and all original. The rear wheel wells and floor pans are also clean rust free factory original. The body panels line up perfect and the car features fresh weather-stripping

Installation is clean and professional with a clean performance appearance. Engine is equipped with brand new Chevrolet Performance valve covers and open air element air cleaner. The motor has a nice performance idle, but smooths out off idle and has excellent street manners, but pulls hard under acceleration, no black smoke, and carburetor responds better then fuel injection. Plenty of power on hand for a little stop light racing. Engine features a new alternator, battery, radiator hoses, belts and fresh tune-up with cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. Car also features a 4 core factory style radiator with 4 bladed fan. Oil pressure holds a steady 60 lbs of pressure when warm, and engine stays consistent at 170-180 degrees even in stop and go traffic on summer days. Very dependable driver that makes great power but mild street manners for daily driving, my wife has driven the car and loves everything but the attention the car draws when she drives it!

Summary:

This car is a great looking car that just really needs nothing more then a little detailing, perfect car to tinker with and polish on and maybe add the little touches to make it yours. It is a very nice car to drive with smooth acceleration and cruises great on the highway with 1400RPM at 55MPH and an estimated top speed of 145MPH. The idle through the chambered mufflers makes it a hit at the cruise in or at the stop light and it pulls a heck of a hole shot. The suspension and brakes work as designed and the driving experience of the car is comfortable for local cruising or for a long drive. (I have driven the car over 4 hours one way, and daily on a 45 minute commute) Operation is very reliable and without issue and the engine pulls hard off idle up to 6000 rpm. It is a lot of fun to run through the gears. The car as is would make a great reliable, daily driver that would be a blast to drive everyday to work on nice days. You could fly into Traverse City, pick up and drive this car anywhere home without issue. It is really a fun car to drive with its throaty exhaust and excellent power range.

This really car needs nothing replaced and is road ready for cruising. Mechanically it has been totally gone through and all maintenance items (battery, alternator, brakes, fluids, radiator, etc) have been checked out, are new or replaced! You can drive this car literally anywhere without issue. So if doing a full restoration or building a bad news street terror is outside your skills level but your looking a for a great musclecar this the car for you. When you consider the full restoration numbers matching cars run $45K plus and most of the cars below $15K,….well let’s just say are still in need of a lots of work. This car is very well priced and a steal at $33,000.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale Â• Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million Â• Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
