AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!

NEVER BEFORE OFFERED FOR SALE!!!!

According to Callaway records only 4 Camaro Supernatural C-8 Areobody convertibles were built. (2 in 1995 and 2 in 1996). This C8 Callaway Camaro was ordered by the late Otis Chandler, former owner and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. The original re-invoiced price was over $60,000. Options include aerobody modifications, 383 blueprinted Supernatural engine modifications, Brembo front brakes, Cat-back exhaust, OZ wheels and Hurst shifter. The Callaway conversion options cost over $32,000. This was the only Old Lyme Green Callaway Camaro built. Otis Chandler wanted the Camaro to match his Callaway Corvette speedster. The Camaro spent 5 years in his world class auto museum before being sold to his curator, who is the current owner. The Camaro was on display at the LA Auto Show, featured in Playboy magazine and several other publications. This Camaro is extremely rare and would make a great addition to any modern muscle car collection.

Usually I will describe the vehicle condition broken down in catagories by body, interior, trunk, underside, engine, top and trunk, giving a detailed description of each. Since these are all in new condition and completely original on this very rare collector Callaway nothing else need be said. The pictures speak for themselves.

The current odometer reading is just over 6163 miles and may vary a little at the time of sale.

The Callaway was listed for sale in early August 2013. To the surprise of the current owner Auto Check and Car Fax listed an accident report filed 6/22/10. The Camaro has never been in an accident or had any issue in the past or present. I am still working on resolving this.

This is a 2 owner car and has spent most of her life in a show room setting. I have spent countless hours trying to get to the bottom of how this is even popping up. Auto Check told me the current registered owner will need to have them subpoena them in order to obtain any information they have reported on his car. Unbelievable! We have learned through our research that this is not uncommon to have erroneous information filed on a vehicle through Auto Check and Car Fax. Also there does not need to be any damage to a vehicle for a report to have been filed.

I am selling this Callaway Camaro for the current owner. Feel free to call me (714) 292-3932. It is also for sale outside of ebay so unless the reserve is met I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The Camaro is available for inspection by self or an inspection company of your choice.

I am more than happy to answer any questions so please ask questions before bidding. Also ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there. I have found that Uship is a great way to find a shipper too.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire, Cashiers Check or Money Order.


On Feb-14-14 at 19:55:14 PST, seller added the following information:

I realized I forgot to add information regarding the documentation on this VERY RARE Callaway Camaro. As any collector knows documentation is everything when it come to a car of this caliber and pedigree. This is a highly documented Callaway Camaro. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best documented of the 2 built in 1995. The paperwork goes all the way back to the original window sticker on the Camaro Convertible before it went to Callaway for the conversion. There is even documented communication between Otis Chandler himself and Callaway. You'll be hard pressed to find a better documented collector car.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.
