For Sale and at absolutely no reserve starting at ONE PENNY and selling to the highest bidder in a 5 day auction. An 1981 Chevy Camaro CONVERTIBLE!!!  You may be saying to yourself, "They didn't make a convertible in 1981." You are CORRECT. BUT, a coach conversion company (possibly NCE/National Coach Engineering in Michigan) bought these cars from the factory. 

According to the VIN, this car started out life as a 3.8L V6 Coupe. It was converted to a Z28 clone convertible along with an engine switch to a 350 V8 with a four barrel carburetor and functioning ram air hood. Raised white letter tires with matching painted wheels. Single exhaust into one then back out to duals. I removed the muffler and put in a piece of pipe. it has a nice rumble to it but nothing obnoxious as there is still a catalytic converter on it. It has an automatic transmission, (350 Turbo) and a B&M Quick Silver shifter. It has a gray tweed interior that is in good condition.  Comes equipped with A/C but no guarantees. I'm not going to tell you, "All it needs is a recharge." (We've all heard that one before!)  The car runs very well and I get thumbs up wherever I go. I replaced the yellowed and cracked back plastic window. Now it is nice and clear and flexible! Looks super. The roof (non power) is serviceable/useable and I have shown the areas that have been patched in the pictures. I always get the super sized photos and you can magnify each one for greater detail. I highlighted the nicks and paint issues where possible to show the accurate condition of the car. 

I have had the top down for a few weeks covered with the boot so the pics show the top as a bit wrinkled. I put it back down after pics. The car is and has been in a garage. The hood is a little more red than the fenders so there must have been a repaint in the past. Bumpers and nose piece are a bit faded. The detail really did a lot for the look of the car and it really shines! 

As this is a 5 day auction, if you would like to talk about the car, send me a message through this auction along with your phone number and I'll call. The car should make it on a longer trip, but if you need help in getting it to you, I have a car hauler and will deliver up to 500 miles for $1.00 per loaded mile. Any further and we'll need to talk. Good luck in the auction and feel free to email and talk.

Chevy confirms 2016 Camaro will have wheels, brakes

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Good news, everyone! Chevrolet has issued yet another round of teaser images and information about the sixth-generation Camaro, set to debut in Detroit on May 16. This time around, Chevy's teaser images confirm that the new car will not only have wheels and tires (Goodyear Eagle F1s, no less), but brakes as well. On top of that, we now know that the new Camaro will be 28-percent stiffer than the outgoing model. "The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly," GM said in a press release, which you can read below. We've already learned that the new coupe will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, has a bunch of unique parts, and according to GM's Mark Reuss, will outperform the Ford Mustang in every way. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see the sixth-gen Camaro, but surely not before Chevy issues even more teasers and information. Related Video: 2016 Camaro is Stronger, Lighter and More Responsive Computer aided engineering contributes to 28 percent greater structural stiffness DETROIT – The engineering team spent 9 million hours of computational time honing the driving experience of the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro before the first prototype turned a wheel. The structural modeling led to the Gen 6 Camaro being 28 percent stiffer than the current model. "The modeling abilities of computer aided engineering are advancing at incredible rates," said Jim Karlavage, Camaro program engineering manager. "Today, we can accurately model opportunities to add torsional strength without adding unnecessary mass. The result is a lighter, stiffer structure that benefits every aspect of the driving experience." The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly. "The structural weight savings are compounded by opportunities to reduce un-sprung weight," said Karlavage.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
