They are still out there. this vet was found in a barn in 2004 by a developer who called a friend of mine who then purchased the car from the widow that owned the farm that she was selling for a housing project. my friend owned the car from 11/15/04 to 04/26/12 at which time I purchased the car. he was always going to restore the car but never did anything with it. it just set in his barn until I talked him out of it. I called the widow to talk about the car and she believed they were the second owner and she gave me the name and address of who she purchased the car from. I then called that person and found out they were the original purchaser of the vet and we had a great chat and they had sold the car to the second owner in 08/16/89. so I believe I am the 4th owner of this car and I do have copy's of 3 of the tittle transfers. the original owner called me about 6 weeks after that first conversation to tell me they had the protecta plate and wanted me to have it. I sent the car out for a complete off frame, ground up restoration, absolute no shortcuts were taken and received the car back on 09/17/12 at which time I had the car appraised. this is a genuine numbers match, date code match car. even the starter, alternator and carb are the ones the car came with, rebuilt of coarse. I did put radial tires on it so one could enjoy the ride and yes did upgrade the clock to quartz. I have put 148.1 miles on the car since the restore just to make sure all is well. decision time. if you are looking for a trailer queen just to bring to the shows this is it, if you are looking for a car to just drive to a few car shows this is it or if you are looking for a dependable driver this is it after all it would be your money. I could not drive the car and lower the value and I am not a car show guy so I could not make the decision. this car needs to go some where a lot of people can enjoy it. please ask all questions before bidding or come and inspect the car. all sales are final. cash, wire transfer or certified funds. certified fund must clear before pickup. you can email me your phone number and I will be happy to answer all questions or set up a time to view or if the question is does something work the answer is yes. yes they are out there. a original 1969, 427, 4 speed, convertible side pipe car in the original color, Daytona yellow with the protecta plate. don't pass this up.

On Jul-07-13 at 05:47:41 PDT, seller added the following information:
to answer a lot more questions at once. the car does have tilt and telescopic steering column and yes it was completely rebuilt also. all of the chrome pieces have been rechromed. the radiator, heater core and blower motor have been replaced. the suspension has been completely rebuilt all new bushings, ball joints, etc. the gear ratio is 3.70 the astro vent system has been rebuilt and I know I am missing a lot but you should get the idea no shortcuts were taken on this car. last but not least the paint job is second to none, it is drop dead beautiful. plus the sound of that big block 427 from the factory side pipes that sound has not been rebuilt, just bone chilling

Travis Kvapil tells Twitter his Sprint Cup car was stolen
Fri, Feb 27 2015There's a bizarre story coming out of Atlanta today, as NASCAR racer Travis Kvapil is reporting that his Sprint Cup Car was stolen from a lot at the Drury Inn in Morrow, GA. Kvapil announced the theft, which included the black pickup that was hauling the trailer and the #44 Chevrolet SS Sprint Cup Car – shown above, with driver JJ Yeley at the wheel – on Twitter. According to Kvapil, the car wasn't going to be ready for the Thursday test session at Atlanta Motor Speedway, although forecasts of snow forced the team to dispatch their main trailer and tools to the track ahead of the car, which left for Atlanta later yesterday. According to ESPN, police in Morrow have video of the "incident," which happened at 5:34 AM Friday, with police investigating it as as criminal in nature. "Sometimes what happens when thieves see trailers, they might just assume there's something in the trailer they can go off and sell," Sgt. Larry Oglesby, of the Morrow PD, told USA Today. "Sometimes when things like this occur, they will drop off the items in a parking lot somewhere – like a Walmart parking lot – once they realize what they have." "All we know is it was a silver jeep," team owner John Cohen told USA Today. "One guy got out and they pulled off together." Earlier, Cohen told ESPN that the theft will force the team out of this weekend's race at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kvapil, meanwhile, has taken to Twitter to appeal to his followers to be on the lookout for the truck, trailer and race car. Here's hoping it turns up all together. Check out the driver's tweets, below. Wow. Anyone near Atlanta find my stolen Cup car let me know! Unreal - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 I bet when whoever has it, opens the trailer and is going to be like 'oh snap' - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Ok, to clarify. @Teamxtreme44 transporter is @amsupdates. The guys stayed and worked on the car Thursday at the shop in NC. They drove.... - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 down last night in a Ford dually and enclosed trailer with racecar inside. That was stolen out of hotel parking lot this am in Morrow, GA - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Black Ford dually, white enclosed tag behind trailer. New Jersey plates - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Dang.... I'm wishing we had LoJack or something on it!
2016 Chevy Camaro leaked on CNBC
Fri, May 15 2015It seemed inevitable. Eventually some outlet would get access to fully uncovered pictures of the sixth-generation 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and let them loose early. Embargoes break. All. The. Time. And for this round, credit goes to CNBC's Squawk Box. The program, according to the GM Inside News forums, had been talking about the new Camaro "all morning," when it dropped a trio of images of the new muscle car. Consider this, then, our first full look at the 2016 Camaro, a car we detailed extensively earlier this morning. In general, the leaked images confirm much of what we discussed in that post regarding the car's looks – an evolved style, with a slim grille up front, a rounded tail, and a very short rear deck. Check out the leaked images, give our Camaro round-up a read, and strap in for tomorrow's big Camaro reveal.
2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown
Wed, Jan 29 2014They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
