Car Description: 1979 Camaro, believed to be Berlinetta model in addition to Z28 but unable to verify.  We purchased this year after going to Several Car shows and deciding we wanted a classic car to restore as a show car.  Problem is, we weren't ready for such a task.  This car was purchased from the second owner of the car from Hagerstown, MD.  He purchased to form into a drag car but was unable to complete so was selling it.  They rebuilt the original matching numbered engine from "bottom up."  During this time they removed A/C and heater and did not replace.  Otherwise, the car frame is solid, transmission is smooth, and it rides and drives great.  I had our mechanic, who loves the older model cars, check it over.  He had to replace the power steering line because of a leak and the parts supplied did not exactly fit after trying several different auto parts stores but now just has small, not noticeable, drip from power steering.  Otherwise, he checked out everything and engine was solid, he thinks they have a "mild Cam" (i know little about engines and cars, hence selling it, but apparently this gives the engine even more power.  The transmission and frame were also solid.  We have had it several months and have Antique tags on it.  My 13 year old son loves it, so him an I go for Sunday drives or pick up ice cream or pizza sometimes and it starts every time and drives beautifully.  IT IS FAST and if you give it some gas, their is no delay in moving down the road quickly.  The exterior paint job is not perfect but not bad either, close up, you can find some flaws but just driving down the street, we get comments all the time on how "cool" the car is.  The interior isn't bad either, the dash and front seats need the most work, the rear seats are just about mint and carpet is newly replaced.  for the most part, it appears to be all original except for new carpet, stereo that doesn't work, and the seat covers on the front seats (however bucket seats themselves, are original).  If you have ever wanted a good looking camaro, corvette, nova, firebird, GTO, etc, this is a decent muscle car to look at and drive!


Buyer:  Please don't bid on this item unless you intend to purchase.  I have sold very few items on ebay and never a car so will work with you however I can to the best of my ability but be prepared to handle or arrange shipping / pick-up.  I am willing to discuss meeting to pick-up and have no worries of driving the car.  10% of the winning bid is due immediately and is nonrefundable.  Full payment is due within 72 hours via paypal or in person with cash, M.O., cashiers check, etc (no personal checks).  Do not bid if you do not have a good ebay rating or are not serious.  Please due your research, this is not a show car by any means but it could easily be used as a daily or casual driver.  

Thanks and happy bidding.  I can be contacted via email or phone 540-820-0974 (please no scams and no texting)

***NOTE- the vehicle location is in Harrisonburg, Va 22801, not Stephens City, VA 22655.  I have attempted to change this and it will not let me.  Please be aware, if this is a problem for any bidders up to the time of this notation (sunday 8/11 at 1020pm), I can be sure the vehicle is in Stephens City, VA for P/u/shiping****

2020 Ford Explorer vs 3-row crossover rivals: How they compare on paper

Thu, Jan 10 2019

The 2020 Ford Explorer has finally landed, and if history serves as an indicator, it should be bigger than sliced bread. And people sure love themselves some sliced bread. This new Explorer may look familiar on the outside, but beneath the skin is a radically new rear-drive platform related to the Ford Mustang (as opposed to a front-drive platform related to the Ford Taurus and a Volvo from the 1990s). Turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines now exclusively rest under its hood, which as you'll see below, both better anything its competitors offer. Ah, but if you're curious to know how the new 2020 Explorer compares to its various three-row family crossover rivals, take a look at the chart below where we stack it up against the 2019 Chevrolet Traverse, 2019 Honda Pilot, 2020 Hyundai Palisade, 2019 Subaru Ascent and 2019 Toyota Highlander. There are others of course (Mazda CX-9, Dodge Durango, GMC Acadia, VW Atlas), but we only had so much room on the chart, and these were the newest and/or most likely to be cross-shopped with the new Explorer. Engine specs and towing Although the Traverse's V6 just nips it on horsepower, the 2020 Explorer's base 2.3-liter "EcoBoost" turbocharged four-cylinder engine smokes it on torque. Therefore, "best-in-class" power seems like a fair claim from Ford. That there's also a 365-horsepower turbo V6 available, plus a hybrid and even-more powerful ST model on the way shows that Ford isn't kidding around under the hood. Curb weight also seems competitive for the segment. In terms of drivetrain, the Explorer is the only member of this particular group to come standard with rear-wheel drive (2.3-liter only). The Durango is the only other three-row, non-luxury crossover to do so. This is significant for two reasons: First, you could potentially do a power slide in an Explorer. Second, and more important, those in the Snowbelt will have to opt for all-wheel drive (it comes standard with the 3.0-liter). By contrast, a set of winter tires will probably do the job just fine if you want to save some money and gas by sticking with its rivals' standard front-wheel drive. Well, except for the Subaru Ascent — that's standard with AWD. In terms of towing, the Explorer takes the cake with as much as 5,300 pounds for the four-cylinder and 5,600 pounds for the V6. Everything else tops out at 5,000, though again, the Durango is capable of besting them all thanks to its Hemi V8 engine option.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road

Tue, Sep 20 2022

Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands.   The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.
