1968 Chevrolet Camaro Base Hardtop 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Semmes, Alabama, United States
|
Hi, I have up for bid a 1968 Chevy Camaro. Great restoration project. I know every car has a story. My dad purchased this in 1971. My dad got cancer and died in 1998. He left us the car and we drove it from Chattanooga,Tn back to Mobile,AL. We did not have a garage to store it in. We drove it occasionally to the gas station to just get it out. We had intended to do work to it but life just got in the way. My dad changed the motor out to a small block 350. The motor does not run. The interior is original. Headliner started to fall recently. This car was barely ever driven. The odometer reads 35,121. I believe this the original miles as it was in the garage at our house a lot when I was growing up. When my parents divorced, my dad took it and kept it under a carport or in the garage at his house. He only drove it to just air it out. We will not sell the VIN nor the COWL tags. If you want them you must buy the car. We have the title which is clear and the original owner's manual. The hood and trunk lid have been restored. They are ready to sand and paint. Tires are very old but should air up. It has a 2 speed power glide transmission but as I stated the motor does not run. All glass windows, seats and doors are original. The dash has major cracks and you can see in the pics it has rust. The car is restorable, we just don't have the time nor the funds. The seals around the windows are cracking badly. Car is located in Semmes, Alabama. We are just about 2 miles out of Mobile, AL. You must come pick it up or make arrangements for a truck to come pick it up. Car is sold as is with no warranty. A deposit of $500 via paypal must be made within 48 hours of auction end. The remainder of the balance must be paid by the time the car is picked up. We want the car picked up within 7 days of the auction ending. The remainder balance must either be paid by paypal or if you are coming in person a cashier's check. I have described this camaro to the best of my knowledge.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
