This is the kind of project I always wished I would have been able to find, but ironically, now that I have it, I need the money more! This car is pretty much all there, it needs to be gone through and reassembled. My father purchased this car in 1991. It had been in an accident and the front clip was missing. He replaced the front clip, frame and any rusty parts in the metal substructure in the body. all of that work is still sound. The frame is from 1973 automatic car. The only thing you will notice is that there is a removable cross member to make transmission removal much easier. The car came with the original 350 engine that had been rebuilt by the previous owner. When he was in the process of getting it ready to start, life got in the way. He kept the car in the garage, collecting NOS and repro parts to replace anything the car needed but never got back to working on it. The top frame and soft top were never with the car since he owned it, but there is a factory hard top in excellent condition. The car was painted the original color back in the early 90s and still looks great as the pictures show. There are some scratches and chips but nothing major. I'd just touch it up and go with it! The front and back bumpers are good but used, Original engine and trans were rebuilt, but sitting for 20 years will require going through again. I'd definitely replace the seals at least. I have not tried to turn the engine. The wheels and tires on the car are just for pushing it around, there are 4 original style wheels and NOS beauty rings and 4 good caps. The exhaust pipes are used and in good condition, there are two new mufflers and exhaust tips. Most or all of the exterior badges and letters are NOS. There are new old stock Ecklers seat covers and foam with it, I think one of the seat frames needs a crack welded up. The back of one of the seat foams has been gnawed on by a mouse, but will be usable with a little work. There is an unused set of high quality front carpets. I don't know of anything else I can report. If you keep in mind the top missing, and the 20 years in the garage, I don't think there is anything that will surprise you on this great project!

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US Â– with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) Â– Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the YearÂ® program.

The Green Car of the YearÂ® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the YearÂ® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
