I've had this car about 6 years and I'd like to move on to another project. The color combination is code correct Lemans Blue (976) with Bright Blue (411) interior. The car was optioned with both tops and includes the hard top, which has been recovered with new vinyl 3 or 4 years ago (looks new still because I hardly ever use the hard top and the car never sits outside very long). The car was built 14July69.

The paint was done about a year ago using the correct mix for the color. I freshened up the interior over the time I've owned the car and did a big overhaul on it recently including new carpet, seat vinyl, seat foam, door sill covers, etc. The top was done at the same time as the paint, along with many new badges, chrome, etc where needed. There is new weatherstripping throughout the entire car except the hardtop. The glass is original as far as I know and in good shape with some minor scratching on the door glass.

The car is originally a 427cui 390hp big block, but a 350 small block was installed in the mid-70s. Most of the original big block parts (distributor, radiator overflow, fan shroud, rear sway bar, heavy duty rear end, etc) are still present. It also originally had the highly desirable side pipe exhaust. The suspension has been rebuilt using Vette Brakes components. Most of the brake system is new or nearly new including the master cylinder, soft lines, pads, rotors and stainless sleeved calipers. The tires have a lot of tread life left and were installed on the car just after I bought it. They have approximately 3500 miles on them. All gauges, including the clock work as do the headlights, wiper door and wipers. There are so many new parts on this car that there's no way I could list everything.

The car has a 4 speed, close ratio M21 Muncie transmission. The wheel covers are the optional P02 Deluxe Wheel Covers, but I also have an extra complete set of nice, original (metal...not plastic like many reproduction) base rally wheel trim rings and centers that can be swapped out if the buyer prefers the look of the base rally wheels.

This car runs and drives great. The engine runs very strong and has been very reliable.

The only big project left to do on this car is swap in a big block. Aside from that, the mufflers could use replacing (I never did because I intended to put in a big block and the exhaust system is different). The heater works well from the defrost vents but the vacuum line to the heater controls is not hooked up. I have never run the car in cold enough weather to use the heater. The parking brake, door locks, and door glass could be adjusted a bit better. Other than that, I do not believe there is anything not working properly on the car.

Now for the fine print. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the winning. The balance of the winning bid is due within 7 days and will only be accepted in the form of a certified check (or bank check if financing). Payment must be in United States dollars. Once payment has cleared, it will take approximately 1 to 2 weeks to receive the title (according to the bank). Once payment has cleared, the car can be picked up or shipped with a bill of sale and the title can follow when received, or the buyer may choose to wait until the title comes back from the bank. Buyer handles pickup or shipping. I can recommend a very good enclosed car transport company that I've personally used several times.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
