1971 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe Project No Reserve Auction (last Bid Wins It) on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:0
Location:

El Paso, Texas, United States

El Paso, Texas, United States

Here we have for NO RESERVE auction a 1971 Camaro Sport Coupe.  Car was made in CA in 1971.  Desert car.  I was going to fix this up with a buddy but we decided against it (due to the fact that he bought a similarly-optioned '70 Chevelle instead) and are now selling this one as a project car.  The good news is that it is fairly complete.  It is an A/C-optioned carwith condenser and evaporator stuff still there.  It has headers, power steering pump, power disc brakes, 10-bolt posi drum brakes rear end, floor console shifter (SS-like).  Glass is good; front windshield is cracked.  Dash is all there with aftermarket radio.  Some aftermarket gages.  Good floors.  Mainly surface rust.  Has an exhaust system all the way to the back of the car.  Good lights and fins at the back end of the car.  Title was lost by previous owner, so selling as a very complete builder/parts car; last registered in Texas.  Has mostly complete interior (door panels were removed by previous owner because they were in nasty shape).  Seats may or may not be original to car, but a nice set nonetheless (my guess is they're not original).  Back seats are original.  Has a red rustoleum job from previous owner for rust prevention purposes, but this was a vinyl top car.  Rear driver-side quarter needs a little help.  Bumpers are non-pitted chrome (not show quality obviously).  Doors good shape, very workable.  Lots of parts in trunk like wiring, headlight buckets, hood hinge, parking lights, miscellaneous stuff.  Car comes with roller wheels that hold air, nice old-school rims that nobody likes (hey but they're round and they roll so that's a plus).  Nose of car has prior bodywork.

This is definitely a project car and we're not selling a running car.  Look at pictures carefully.  I can provide more at your request.  If you're serious about seeing this car, it is located in West Texas, near the New Mexico border.  We can hold the car for a little while, but we'll need a non-refundable deposit (see section below).

Very good start to a great looking strip car or daily cruiser.  This is a GREAT builder/parts car; hard-to-find body style with many, many great and useable parts.  Car comes with a bill of sale only.  Definitely AS-IS condition with no warranty implied herein.  Good luck with bidding on this piece of American muscle.

For all of you that have asked to end the auction early, I will not do so.  This is a NO RESERVE auction, last bid wins it.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
