 I recently purchased this vehicle on a whim believing I could finish it up in no time and have a cool ride.  The previous owner spent 2 years getting it to the point that it could be driven, so I was sure it would be no big deal to complete the process.  As a 70 year old, you  think I would know better!  Therefore, it is being offered for sale to someone motivated to follow it through to the finish..   There are many great things to say about the car and I`ll cover those first.  The sheet metal is really solid.  He took it down to the metal, fixed very few pinholes of rust on the fender dog legs, then sprayed it.  When I drove it home, I took a magnet and went over the entire outside and found those lower fender areas the only places the magnet would not hold.   There has been a repair to the passenger side rear floorboard, but the rest of the inside and the trunk floor is solid.  All in all, this body is in great shape for a 47 year old car.  I believe the steel hood is from an SS 396, but I don`t know that for a fact.  Regarding the engine, he told me it was a 350.  I looked for the stamped code on the passenger side cylinder head pad and found nothing.  I then recalled seeing that missing only when a block has been decked, and I believe that was done here.  After further inspection, I found two decals on the passenger side of the block indicating it was a Four Star rebuilt.  It also had a production code, so I`m hoping I can research the number and get the engine information.  I will add that to the description if I am successful.   The transmission, I believe, is a Tremac T5 and shifts out fine.  I believe the clutch is heavy duty.  The rear end appears to be the stock 10 bolt.  The wheels are 15" Rally with 215/60/R15 front, and 235/60/R15 rear.  All the tires look great.  By the way, I asked the previous owner why, after putting so much time and effort into the car,  he was selling it.  He explained that he had found a tractor he wanted, but had to keep it in the garage, so the car had to go.  The car has a new front bumper, new radiator, new fuel tank, new exhaust pipes and mufflers, new door mirrors, new front windshield, and power disc brakes (drum rear).  Now, the items needed.  It has no headliner, is missing the stock front seats (he bolted some black buckets with tracks out of a VW, (I think).  It is missing the heater controls and radio.  It needs carpet, a dash pad (cracked),  the rear parcel shelf cover, and glass moldings..  I have done my best to describe this car as it sits and apologize in advance if I have overlooked any important details.  I feel there is a very reasonable reserve on the car and know that it has the potential of being a great driver once completed.  As a matter of information for prospective bidders, the car sold on June 30th for $6600, but the sale was cancelled due to an international shipping issue.  It was relisted and sold again on July 14th, but the winning bidder never contacted me and didn`t respond to any of my emails or calls.  Please bid only if you truly hope to be the successful bidder and you are in a position to make arrangements for shipping.  Thanks, and good luck bidding!

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.

Old Car or New Car? 1993 Chevy Camaro vs 2015 Honda CR-Z

Wed, Sep 30 2015

My daily life revolves around used cars. As a former fast-talking auto auctioneer, it was once my job to inspect, appraise, and liquidate thousands of cars throughout the United States. Since I put down my microphone and became a full-time car dealer, I have gone from auctioning off 150 vehicles an hour – yes, we really do talk that fast – to buying 150 vehicles every two to three months. I see and bid on everything from $300 Volkswagens that belch more black smoke than a diesel truck rolling coal, to $30,000 DeLoreans that hopefully can go at least 88 miles per hour. The auctions never run out of weirdness when it comes to cars because they sell over 10 million every single year. So with that big number in mind, let me tell you about these two cars that have about as much in common as Mel Gibson and Mel Brooks.Option A: 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car Edition View 24 Photos This 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Indy Pace Car has all of 4,187 miles on it. Neither of those numbers are a misprint and yes, those are multi-colored stripes on the hood. Every week, I find at least two or three museum pieces that have been stored in the private garage of an auto collector. As you can tell, there are some very broad strokes to the definition and tastes of a collector. It could be a guy who has an extreme case of what I call "Automotive Compulsive Disorder" who chucks 20 or 30 old cars into a field and lets the weather and elements have at them. I once knew a guy, a car dealer at that, who "stored" seven 1990s Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertibles in the Georgia sun, and within two years those cars turned into complete junk. The fact that he stored them in an open field he didn't actually own and near a public road didn't help either. A few of the local meth heads and kleptocrats decided to strip-mine his collection, from the radiators to the tops themselves. He had a brief time in prison in between the before and the surprise after and trust me, he looked like he had soiled his britches when he saw what happened to his personally prized Cutlasses. Then you have whoever owned this Camaro. Is it a one-of-a-kind? Nope. Just 1 of 125, and an insignificant number at that (#87). But let's open the door to this Camaro and see what we find. Oof! I don't remember this multi-colored silly string design as a '90s must-have. Wasn't this popular back in the 1980s?
