This 1971 Camaro is a big time head-turner! I can't even count the number of times people have stopped me at gas stations and stoplights to ask about it! It's bean such a great car to me, and it KILLS me to have to let it go... but after I moved to Florida last Fall, my wife and I need the money badly. I'm only 24, so I'll eventually buy another classic Camaro again, but for now my loss will be your gain!

This is a fantastic car and it's in great shape, no not perfect (those will cost you $20K-$30K easily), but still in GREAT shape. The most important thing to look for in a classic Camaro is a strong motor and trans that'll last you a long time. When I bought this car a year ago, the previous owner of nearly a decade told me that it had a fairly new 350 Chevy crate motor in it with about 3000 miles on it and a freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic transmission. I've put about 10,000 miles on the car since I bought it last year (never raced it or anything, just drove it to car shows and the beach every now and then). Plus, the previous owner had a new aluminum driveshaft put in as well. I know this car runs beautifully because I drove it almost 1000 miles from Virginia to Florida when my wife and I moved down here last Fall with absolutely no problems. So, you can rest assured in knowing this Camaro is going keep on driving for MANY years to come!

As you can see in the pictures and the video, the paint is in good condition and still shines wonderfully. It is an older paint job (I was told about 10 years old), but you can tell it was a really high grade professionally done paint job when it was first applied to the car, but has now begun to show small signs of wear. There are two small rust-bubbles coming through the paint (one small one right behind the passenger side window and one behind the passenger side door down by the rear wheel). In some of the pictures you can also see a small dent with a little bit of chipped paint on the front driver side fender (not too difficult/expensive of a job to have fixed), and that was there when I bought the car. Apparently the previous owner backed his other car into the Camaro in his driveway and just barely bumped the front fender enough to dent it.  There is also a small rust hole under the rear passenger side seat.  I'm pretty sure I sanded away the rust from the hole, so it shouldn't grow any further but it is still there (an easy patch-up job).  Also, 

The car needs a new headliner, however I already have the appropriate black vinyl material, the bows, and the clips needed to install it. You'll just have to get someone to do it for you professionally.  All of the headliner materials are included in this sale.

Since I bought the car last year, these are the improvements I have had done to it professionally:

-added all new chrome trimming to the tops of the doors, fenders, and hood
- replaced window felt on both doors to ensure better protection from water getting inside the doors
- replaced the cheap rubbery and worn aftermarket steering wheel with a nice real wood and chrome steering wheel with accurate "Camaro" emblem on the horn cap
-reupholstered the back seats with brand new pleated black vinyl seat covers
- replaced the worn out cloth, modern racing bucket seats in the front with two brand new pleated black vinyl ProCar low-back classic-styled seats that do recline forward and backward (they have sliders that allow the seats to slide forward and backward, but the pull-rod that connects the under-seat handle to the slider locks somehow came loose on both seats.  So, they are capable of sliding, but those pull-rods would have to be fastened back to the slider locks)
-added 4 brand new matching black cloth floor mats
-had an entirely new Flowmaster true-dual exhaust system installed (which sounds AMAZING- the video doesn't do it justice)
-new distributor, all new wires, new spark plugs, new hoses, new air cleaner, flushed the radiator and put in a new balance of water and antifreeze.
-all new correct fender and rear deck lid "Camaro"chrome emblems.
-Also, a wheel-to-brake lock bar is included for theft prevention, as well as a fitted grey car cover

This Camaro also has:
-17 inch chrome FOOSE wheels
-front disc power brakes, rear drum 
-solid trunk pan
-solid metal wheel-wells, not the cheap plastic kind that can be found in many cheaper restorations
-whale tail style rear deck lid spoiler
-straight front bumper, not split
-all front and rear lights, blinkers and side markers work flawlessly
-interior overhead dome light works perfectly
-new Sony radio/CD/AUX input mp3 player and new Sony sound system with great sound and bass performance
-glove box lock is fully functional and a working key is included
-Speedometer and odometer are functional, but the odometer reading is an erroneous number unrelated to the car's actual mileage. The speedometer reads consistently at roughly 20mph faster than what you are actually driving.
-the fuel gauge does not work 
-There is a removable center console with storage compartment.
-there is a B&M shifter with a shift kit in the transmission so you can choose to drive with completely automatic transmission, or you can manually shift gears without needing a clutch
-the horn does not work
-the doors do lock, but there is no key to unlock/lock them. So, NEVER lock the doors! That's why a wheel-to-pedal lock bar is included in this sale to prevent theft. However, the trunk does lock and there is a key that can be used with it (but it doesn't work for the doors)
-all the windows, rear and front windshields are in solid condition and are crack-free, but do have minor signs of wear.
-both door panels are in fantastic cosmetic/physical condition
-the dashboard has some small amounts of warping up near the windshield from sun exposure over the years, but it is crack-free and the texture/black color are still in fantastic shape.
-despite having vents for A/C & heat, there is no A/C compressor or duct work to supply it (just roll those windows down!)
-fairly new and very clean black carpeting throughout the interior's floor
- the right exhaust pipe hangs a little low because the bracket that was used to hold it up disconnected and needs to be fixed (it's a small repair that I never got around to doing), so I temporarily fastened the exhaust pipe to the frame so it wouldn't vibrate/bounce on the frame while driving.
-the windshield wipers work flawlessly
-there are adjustable air-shocks in the rear so you can manually adjust the height of the rear end with an air compressor
-it has Holly Avenger performance carburetor
-it has ceramic headers with 3-inch exhaust pipes
-and I'm sure there's more to tell you, but I've drawn a blank for the moment.


I'm an honest guy, and I'm trying to be as truthful and transparent as I possibly can about this car. What's great about this Camaro is that it looks like a show car that can fit right in with other classic cars and still look great. Like I said before, it's a true head-turner! However, you're getting it for a great and very affordable price because it does have a few semi-small cosmetic repairs that need to be done (all mentioned above). Once you see it in person and drive it, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Have a look through the pictures for better reference, and visit this YouTube link to see an HD video I made of this beautiful 1971 Camaro:

Also, I shot this video with my phone to show the various aspects of the car that I tried to address in the description above:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvxBeX0du5U&feature=youtu.be

My cellphone number is 571.225.(one-nine-eight-three), and my email is chadainsworth@me(DOT)com (formed that way to prevent spammers! It is in fact ".com").  Also, you as the buyer are responsible for determining, paying for, and arranging your shipping method for this Camaro.  I have heard FedEx is a fairly priced option for large freight shipments like this, so you might want to try contacting them.

Thanks,

Chad

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

Nissan Leaf makes it 19 in a row for record sales; Chevy Volt drops 21 percent

Wed, Oct 1 2014

The Nissan Leaf continues its streak of "best month ever" sales with 2,881 EVs sold in September. Compared to the 1,953 sold in September 2013, that represents an increase of 47.5 percent and, as Nissan itself must be tired of saying by now, it marks yet another best month ever, same as last month and now the 19th in a row. Okay, sure, we know, Nissan will tout this run for as long as it can, but we're certainly expecting it each month, so if it ever doesn't happen, it'll be interesting to see how Nissan talks about it. Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. In any case, Nissan's director of EV marketing, Toby Perry, sent AutoblogGreen a statement that said, "Nissan Leaf owners have turned into some of our best marketers, and they jump at any opportunity to share their enthusiasm with friends and family. Take National Drive Electric Week – a grassroots celebration of all things EV and the perfect platform for LEAF owners to showcase the benefits of going electric. After celebrating with EV owners in more than 130 cities across the country, we saw a significant increase in Leaf showroom visits with midweek traffic just as heavy as what we see on the weekends." Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. Over on the Chevy Volt front, things aren't quite as rosy. After coming off a good August (the best sales month of 2014 by almost 500 units), Volt sales were down to 1,394, a decrease of 21.1 percent compared to September 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 13.2 percent year-over-year. It's kind of a stretch, but perhaps people are already waiting for the next-gen Volt, which will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January, to go on sale? Speaking of things we say every month, our in-depth round-up of US green car sales is in process and will be appearing soon. Until then, please discuss how these two long-standing plug-in champs are doing on the sales floor. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales hybrid sales

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
