This ad features a stunning 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, with all the right features; 427 big block V-8, 4 speed transmission, posi- traction rear-end and cowl induction hood all encased in black, it just doesn’t get any more musclecar then this!  This car is extremely clean rust wise, mechanically dependable and strong running and a real show stopper ready to cruise as is. The car has not been heavily modified and essentially stock structurally so it is a great car to further detail to a more factory appearance, or it is a great candidate to further modify into a real street terror.  

 

Mechanically this car needs nothing so if you are not much of a mechanic you are all set, and the paint and body are fantastic. As you read through the write up you will see most everything has either been rebuilt or replaced. This is a great driver and ready to go with plenty of oppurtunity for you to add your own details to make it your own. This car is so striking it collects lots of attention whether it's cruising down the street or parked.

Finish -- Grade A-: Black paint is a recent clear coat base coat paint job. The shine/luster is very good and looks as good in person as it does in the pictures.  It has not been fully detailed, but a show level detail and wax is all this paint really needs.


Body -- Grade A-:  The body is nearly all original with only some light restoration, when new rear quarter panels were installed at one time. Features a factory steel cowl induction hood, and front and rear factory spoilers. The body work was done professionally and it looks great, and lets face it black paint does not lie, and this car looks sharp.  The trunk floor is very clean and all original. The rear wheel wells and floor pans are also clean rust free factory original.  The body panels line up perfect and the car features fresh weather-stripping

Engine Grade A: Engine is clean with a recent overhaul by Heighes Performance here in Traverse City. 427 big Block is period correct and estimated to produce 500 Horsepower with a roller camshaft and roller rockers. It features a brand new polished Edelbrock Performer RPM Air Gap intake with a brand new Holley 750 Double Pumper and the jetting has been recalibrated to match the engine and exhaust modifications. Installation is clean and professional with a clean performance appearance. Engine is equipped with brand new Chevrolet Performance valve covers and open air element air cleaner. The motor has a nice performance idle, but smooths out off idle and has excellent street manners, but pulls hard under acceleration, no black smoke, and carburetor responds better then fuel injection. Plenty of power on hand for a little stop light racing. Engine features a new alternator, battery, radiator hoses, belts and fresh tune-up with cap, rotor, wires, and plugs. Car also features a 4 core factory style radiator with 4 bladed fan. Oil pressure holds a steady 60 lbs of pressure when warm, and engine stays consistent at 170-180 degrees even in stop and go traffic on summer days. Very dependable driver that makes great power but mild street manners for daily driving, my wife has driven the car and loves everything but the attention the car draws when she drives it!

Summary:

This car is a great looking car that just really needs nothing more then a little detailing, perfect car to tinker with and polish on and  maybe add the little touches to make it yours. It is a very nice car to drive with smooth acceleration and cruises great on the highway with 1400RPM at 55MPH and an estimated top speed of 145MPH. The idle through the chambered mufflers makes it a hit at the cruise in or at the stop light and it pulls a heck of a hole shot. The suspension and brakes work as designed and the driving experience of the car is comfortable for local cruising or for a long drive. (I have driven the car over 4 hours one way, and daily on a 45 minute commute) Operation is very reliable and without issue and the engine pulls hard off idle up to 6000 rpm. It is a lot of fun to run through the gears. The car as is would make a great reliable, daily driver that would be a blast to drive everyday to work on nice days. You could fly into Traverse City, pick up and drive this car anywhere home without issue. It is really a fun car to drive with its throaty exhaust and excellent power range.

This really car needs nothing replaced and is road ready for cruising. Mechanically it has been totally gone through and all maintenance items (battery, alternator, brakes, fluids, radiator, etc) have been checked out, are new or replaced! You can drive this car literally anywhere without issue. So if doing a full restoration or building a bad news street terror is outside your skills level but your looking a for a great musclecar this the car for you. When you consider the full restoration numbers matching cars run $45K plus and most of the cars below $15K,….well let’s just say are still in need of a lots of work. This car is very well priced and a steal at $33,000.

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan. Related Video: OPEL GROUP ANNOUNCES GAME-CHANGING AMPERA-e BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR New battery electric vehicle will break down barriers to electric mobility Five-door, five-seat Ampera-e will have longer range than most electric cars Fun to drive, outstanding connectivity and affordably priced Russelsheim. Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

New Forza Horizon 2 pack features Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Audi RS6 Avant [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

The latest car pack for Forza Horizon 2 is hitting Xbox Live today, giving Xbox One owners a shot at six new vehicles that date back to 1970. Leading the charge in the hearts and minds of the Autoblog staff is, of course, the 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, one of the most 80s-tastic performance coupes of its time. Chevy's 80s-era NASCAR representative is joined by another General Motors performance two-door, in the form of the 1970 Buick GSX. Complete with a 455-cubic-inch V8, the GSX could best be thought of as the grandpappy to the iconic GNX of the late 1980s. Crossing the pond, we have a trio of offerings from the United Kingdom, with the 2002 Lotus Esprit V8, the redesigned, aluminum-intensive 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged and finally, the 2015 McLaren 650S. The mid-engined offerings should be a riot on the winding roads of Forza Horizon 2's European locales, while the Range Rover should make cross-country efforts an absolute breeze. Finally, virtual wagon lovers will be able to enjoy the 2015 Audi RS6 Avant and its combination of Quattro all-wheel drive and a twin-turbocharged V8. As per usual, this latest car pack will be available to gamers for $5 while season pass owners will score the sextet of vehicles for free. Scroll down for a video of the new offerings in action, as well as the official press release from Turn 10 Studios.
