A good solid car of which I am the third owner. The car sat outside for 10 or 15 years until the owner passed away. His mailman bought it from the public trustee, did nothing with it and sold it to me. I have owned it for 5 years and have driven it about one or two miles (from one storage area to another). It drove like a dream. I have had most of the body work done (rust cut out, replaced with metal, not welded but pop riveted and smoothed with body filler). It has a cheap coat of house paint sprayed on it, so at least it is not rusting away. Fuel tank was cleaned and new fuel level indicator and screen installed. New master cylinder put on. My dreams were bigger than my wallet (I am a fixed income retiree) and I cannot afford to do more work on it. I am into it for $4,500.00, and the opening bid is far below that. REMEMBER: NO RESERVE-YOU BID YOU BUY UNLESS YOU'RE OUTBID! My loss, your gain! The engine runs (ran, it has been sitting for about three years), but the water jacket has a crack in it, and the engine needs to be pulled and the jacket stitched. It is not a Bel Air, but it is still a beautiful car. It has minimal rust, the floor pans are solid, and so is the frame. I you are interested in restoring and owning one of the Tri-Five, then this is certainly an affordable and well worthwhile project. The car is located at the North end of Vancouver Island. If you live in the state of Washington it is a ferry ride (Seattle to Victoria) and a half day's drive away. The opening bid is $1,250.00 and there is no reserve. The successful bidder will be expected to pay $750.00 through PayPal at the close of he auction, and the balance in cash or by certified cheque on pick up or within 10 days whichever comes first. Title is clear and all documentation is on hand.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
