 If your looking for a car to restore here is the one. This is not just a date code correct but an actual 1968 SS 396 with the original engine, transmission, and rear end that came in the car! The partial VIN # is stamped on the block and it still has the original Muncie 4 speed and twelve bolt rear end. Even better still, this car came from the factory with interior from a Buick Skylark. There was around a two month period in 1968 when the factory ran low on interiors for these cars (supposedly because of riots because of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination) so they used other GM interiors. It can be decoded as original by the data plate. That makes this car a little extra special. The engine has been rebuilt and I have included a picture with the valve cover off to show how clean it is. The car is very solid. It will need some floor work, small patches on the bottom rear of both quarters and work on the drivers fender.  No rocker rust, trunk just has surface rust and retains a lot of its original splatter paint. No cowl rust. No wheel lip rust. No frame rust through. The top even works when the switch is bypassed. (bad top switch)  This would be a big money car fixed and is about as good a car to start with as you will find any more. There is no exhaust on the car but I have fired it up with open headers and it ran great. It has been switched to HEI. I do have the original split bench front seat and rear seat. It will all need to be taken to the springs and redone. Tires will hold enough air to get it on a trailer. The original color combo was Butternut yellow with a black top and black interior. It has had one repaint since the factory and then a thin coat of the cheap primer (not by me :) you see in the pictures. I sanded one of the fenders to show that its not as bad as it looks. Haha.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
