AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!

NEVER BEFORE OFFERED FOR SALE!!!!

According to Callaway records only 4 Camaro Supernatural C-8 Areobody convertibles were built. (2 in 1995 and 2 in 1996). This C8 Callaway Camaro was ordered by the late Otis Chandler, former owner and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. The original re-invoiced price was over $60,000. Options include aerobody modifications, 383 blueprinted Supernatural engine modifications, Brembo front brakes, Cat-back exhaust, OZ wheels and Hurst shifter. The Callaway conversion options cost over $32,000. This was the only Old Lyme Green Callaway Camaro built. Otis Chandler wanted the Camaro to match his Callaway Corvette speedster. The Camaro spent 5 years in his world class auto museum before being sold to his curator, who is the current owner. The Camaro was on display at the LA Auto Show, featured in Playboy magazine and several other publications. This Camaro is extremely rare and would make a great addition to any modern muscle car collection.

Usually I will describe the vehicle condition broken down in catagories by body, interior, trunk, underside, engine, top and trunk, giving a detailed description of each. Since these are all in new condition and completely original on this very rare collector Callaway nothing else need be said. The pictures speak for themselves.

The current odometer reading is just over 6163 miles and may vary a little at the time of sale.

The Callaway was listed for sale in early August 2013. To the surprise of the current owner Auto Check and Car Fax listed an accident report filed 6/22/10. The Camaro has never been in an accident or had any issue in the past or present. I am still working on resolving this.

This is a 2 owner car and has spent most of her life in a show room setting. I have spent countless hours trying to get to the bottom of how this is even popping up. Auto Check told me the current registered owner will need to have them subpoena them in order to obtain any information they have reported on his car. Unbelievable! We have learned through our research that this is not uncommon to have erroneous information filed on a vehicle through Auto Check and Car Fax. Also there does not need to be any damage to a vehicle for a report to have been filed.

I am selling this Callaway Camaro for the current owner. Feel free to call me (714) 292-3932. It is also for sale outside of ebay so unless the reserve is met I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The Camaro is available for inspection by self or an inspection company of your choice.

I am more than happy to answer any questions so please ask questions before bidding. Also ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there. I have found that Uship is a great way to find a shipper too.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire, Cashiers Check or Money Order.


On Feb-14-14 at 19:55:14 PST, seller added the following information:

I realized I forgot to add information regarding the documentation on this VERY RARE Callaway Camaro. As any collector knows documentation is everything when it come to a car of this caliber and pedigree. This is a highly documented Callaway Camaro. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best documented of the 2 built in 1995. The paperwork goes all the way back to the original window sticker on the Camaro Convertible before it went to Callaway for the conversion. There is even documented communication between Otis Chandler himself and Callaway. You'll be hard pressed to find a better documented collector car.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
