PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
Up for sale is a 1968 Camaro RS/SS clone convertible. It was originally a 6cylinder/Powerglide car. It is a real J2 paint code car which is Rally Green with a Black top. Rally Green was introduced late in the 68 model production year. Interior code is 712 which is a standard Black interior.
I bought this car this Spring as a running & driving car. I have purchased a 2012 Camaro 2SS convertible a couple of weeks ago & am now selling this car.
This car was mostly redone within the last decade. The following has been done to the body: floor & trunk replaced with one piece units; new quarters, fenders & door skins, trunk lid & rear lower valance. Rockers have been repaired with new metal. The SS hood looks to have been dented between the vents & has been pounded out & body puttied. Inside of trunk looks really good & has new mat. The following chrome & trim has been replaced with new: bumpers, taillight bezels, door handles, header panel & trunk lid Camaro emblems, front RS turn signal assemblies, all 4 side marker light assemblies, all 4 wheel well opening moulding, upper windshield stainless & RS Grill assembly. The front SS emblem & the SS gas cap are new. SS vents on hood appear to be original but are good driver quality. I installed new outside mirrors on both doors (not with cheap $14.99 Taiwan mirrors but the highest quality $52.99 ones). I have a new front chin spoiler with new support rods, also.
The convertible top is new as is the front header bow, top well & rear window. All the weatherstripping on the car is new. I did not get the 'A' pillar weatherstrips & the strip between the side windows when I bought the car but have since purchased them. They still need to be installed. The top goes up & down effortlessly.
The seat covers & door panels look to be original. The seats are in real good shape and the door panels are decent driver quality but I would eventually replace them. The carpet & dash pad appear new.
The engine is a 350 with casting number 3970014. Heads are casting number 333882. There are Comp Cams Magnum roller rockers & I was told a 270H Magnum camshaft in the engine. The engine pulls 10" vacuum at idle & sounds good. There is a Weiand dual plane aluminum intake on it & I just put a brand new Holley 670 cfm Street Avenger carb on it because I couldn't get the Edelbrock 750 cfm Performer to run right. The Holley has vacuum secondaries & an electric choke & works perfectly. I also just installed custom-fit Accel 8mm plug wires, Sickspeed wire seperators & Accel 'Shorty' spark plugs. There are headers on the car with 2 1/2" exhaust going into Flowmaster mufflers for that musclecar sound. Tailpipes exit under the back bumper. When I bought the car the radiator & all hoses were new & I bought & installed the factory Camaro style radiator shroud & bracket. There is a clutch fan mounted to the water pump to keep the car cool. The transmission is a TH400 that has been gone through & has a shift improver kit installed. It is hooked up to the factory column shifter. The driveshaft has new u-joints & is hooked up to a 3.73 12-bolt posi rear end. The rear end has been rebuilt by the previous owner & the leaf springs, shackle kit & bushings are new. All 4 shocks have also been replaced. The ball joints & tie-rods have been replaced. The previous owner installed a Stainless Steel Brake Corporation manual disc brake kit with a new master cylinder on the car but the front end was too high for my liking so I purchased & installed 2 inch drop spindles. I will have a front end alignment done on the car by the end of this week to make sure everything is running true.
I just installed a SunPro 3-gauge kit under the center of the dash to keep track of the engine. Oil pressure reads just under 60 lbs at start-up & when warmed up runs around 25 at idle. Temp didn't get past 190 degrees & voltage is just over 13 volts when running.
All of the brake, transmission & fuel lines are new and so is the gas tank & filler neck. Looking at the window tracks for the side windows they all appear to have been replaced or rebuilt as does the driver side door latch. The passenger side door latch appears to be new.
The side glass is good & the windshield is new. The window fuzzies have also been replaced.
The wheels on the car are American Racing Torque Thrust II's & are 17x8 on front & 18x10 on the rear with Toyo Proxes tires. I just put new lug nuts on all 4 wheels & polished the wheels while they were off the car.
I have been driving this car while I have been working on it but it still needs a few things completed. The side windows need to be adjusted. The RS Grill was installed but none of the vacuum headlight door actuator pieces came with the car so you have to manually open the doors for night driving. I bought a Detroit Speed & Engineering electronic headlight door kit (expensive but far superior to the factory vacuum operators) that is still in the box & needs to be installed. I bought the rear backup light kits & they also need to be installed. I have a new 2" steel cowl hood for the car that I was going to install to replace the SS hood. All these extras are included with the car.
Keep in mind that this is not a perfect show car but with a little time & effort it very well could be & you won't be 'breaking the bank' to get it there.
There has been ALOT of money & effort spent on this car, way more than what I am asking. The car is currently appraised & insured for $25,000. I have a clear Illinois title in my name with no loans so the car is available immediately if paid for with CASH. I will take a Cashiers Check or Money Order for payment but it takes 7-10 working days for the funds to clear. I WILL NOT let the car go anywhere until funds have cleared the bank. If you wish to pay with Cashiers Check or Money Order, after I receive payment I will not drive the car and will keep it insured & locked up in my garage until you come to get the car. After funds have cleared I would like it picked up within 2 weeks. If something happens & you can't pick it up within 2 weeks please call me & we can work something out. I am pretty easy to get along with.
I know I got pretty long winded with my description but I figure if you are going to travel to look at a car there is never too much information. If I have forgotten something please call me at 563-212-4493. If I don't answer please leave a call back number & I will call back ASAP.
I have sold cars before on eBay & have NEVER had any problems as can be seen by my 100% perfect feedback & will do everything I can on my side to make the transaction as easy as I can.
Thanks for looking! Randy
P.S.
I would possibly take a partial trade & cash my way for this car as long as the vehicle you are trading is a Chevy. If you have a Chevy Hot Rod/Muscle Car that is 1972 or older I may be interested in a trade plus cash my way. I would like to have a 1969 Camaro or 1966-1972 Nova. Give me a call & we'll discuss it. Thanks.

I have had a lot of questions about the reserve price on my car. To make it fair for everyone I will not reveal the reserve but will say that it is way below the cars' appraisal of $25,000 & less than what I have invested in the car. Thanks for all the inquiries & if you have any questions about the car please ask now instead of waiting until the end of the auction. You can call or text me at 563-212-4493. Thanks, Randy.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015
Thu, Jan 14 2016According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
