(Rec'd several inquiries about
this Cam by bidders looking
at '66 Sting Ray in our other
auction so thot I'd list now
instead of grooming the car
a bit first after having recently
towed it in from AZ.)
This was originally a 6 cyl car
which now has in it a .60
over 454 w/ 12.5:1 pistons.
When I bought the car in
1998, it was stripped out
as a drag car and the engine
had been freshly put together
w/ what seems(ed) to be
brand new parts.
For instance, the carb was brand
new then but now, after 15 years, it
has an aged 'patina' to it.
I bought a wrecked '68 Camaro
in an attempt to bring
the '67 to a streetable condition.
This is why it has '68 interior
door panels and '68 tail lights.
Engine ran and pulled like
a freight train but oil press
would drop out unexpectedly.
Pulled distributor/oil pump to
trace problem to oil pan gasket.
Pieces of the 'squeeze tube'
gasket had broken off like
little worms and clogged
oil pump screen pick-up.
Anyhow, installed one piece
oil pan gasket but have
not reinstalled distributor
for 14 years. Engine
turns freely and has less
than 2 miles on it (b/c
the car couldn't legally
be driven in PA w/o
inspection). Car has been
garage kept in AZ last
9 yrs. I sprayed WD-40 in thru
plug holes and would manually
rotate every so often to ensure
rings wouldn't seize.
4 speed 'rock crusher' Muncie
shifts perfect and no noise.
3.00 open rear, no noise.
Brakes good. Stock/basic
drums all 'round. E brake
cable was removed but I
have most parts to (re)install.
Body is straight and rust free,
never hit w/ the following
(minor) clarifications:
1. Silver dollar sized area in
rocker panels at base of
hinge side of doors where
the magnet pull was weak
and you can see some body
filler.
2. 3" long 'crease' on pass side
(very slight deflection) above
quarter window where roof
begins to roll horizonal.
I tried to photograph this
but you can't really see it
unless at an angle which the
camera couldn't get.
3. Lower lip of pass side A arm is
pushed in slightly, as if the car
had pulled up too far when parking.
(To me, this is minor in the extreme
but in the interest of full disclosure
I'm mentioning it since I'm aware
of it having spent time under the car.)
Underbody and subframe is
also rust free.
All glass is good except as follows:
1. When the former owner was
welding-in the roll bar, care
was not taken to fully shield the
quarter glass behind the pass
seat so there is slight spatter
in a 3" x 5" area of tiny 'bumps'
which are hard to see but one's
hand can feel the irregularities.
2. Trailing edge of driver and pass
door glass has a +/- 1" streak/
scrape mark (from going up and
down in track?).
3. Lower left hand corner of
windshield has scratches
on the inside of the glass
approx the area of a thumb.
4. Pass side window is very
difficult to get up: the
window mechanism
operates stiffly. Down
cranking is okay.
To cover large gaps around
backlite and windshield, I cut and
fitted wood trim. There were no
clips remaining to attach factory
trim. It seemed like a good idea
at the time.
Pass side missing side mirror,
driver side mirror is junk.
Interior door panels and
those in rear seat area are crap.
Headliner is aftermarket
and, IMHO, serviceable.
Dashpad is cracked/repaired,
i.e. junk. Carpets no good.
Glove box door works fine
but latch had been broken
then repaired. Glove box liner
condition very poor.
I pulled front carpets up to
photograph floor boards.
They have a glaze of surface
dust/rust but are sound/solid/
not compromised. Rear pans
solid also.
Chrome on rear tail lights is pitted.
Front headlights are broken
bulbs (but will include halgen
fixtures to replace them).
Missing driver side '396'
fender emblem.
Gauges worked 14
years ago. Directionals didn't.
Wipers work but are not wired
to dash. Wiper motor from
1984 Dodge Diplomat.
Left front tire is like new
Uniroyal P215/70R14, RF
is same size and okay, rear skins
are grenades.
Paint job is spray cans, stripes
are stickers. I believe orig color
was white w/black interior.
Two hoods, one fiberglass,
one steel. No hood hinges
or hardware. Both hoods
have holes to accomodate
pins. Will include low
profile air cleaner and element
to clear steel hood.
Fiberglass hood is not perfect,
has some minor surface cracks
and a 3 inch area on driver side
edge that needs some filler/sanding.
Tow bar included in sale.
Tow bar needs repair.
Four steel matching chrome
wheels (pictured) are included
in auction. These are in addition
to the slotted aluminum rims
on the car. The ancient Firestone
slicks on the steel rims are no good.
Tires on the matching smaller
steel rims not included and I
will demount them before
successful bidder takes
delivery.
1968 rear bench seat and spare
driver seat included. Upholstery
on these are no good whatsoever.
Lower half of bench has been cut
to accomodate roll bar.
Driver bucket seat in car is good
cond but it was the pass seat from
'68 donor car so you have to reach
in for latch to fold forward. Pass
bucket seat in the car has patches.
No battery, no horns, no horn
button, no radio, not sure whether
blower is still there.
No ignition switch, dash mounted
starter button instead.
Radiator has leak somewhere at
bottom. I believe it is a minor
leak and can be repaired w/
a rad anti-leak additive but I
don't know this for certain. It
didn't leak when I bought the car
but did after I fabricated/
installed the fan shrouding.
Driveshaft is in tranny but not
bolted to rear. It was unbolted
and wired to the side for the
towing to/from AZ. Drag safety
breakaway loops for driveshaft
in place, front and rear. Missing
some piece(s) of these loops: they
are not complete.
One bolt on top of left rear
shock (in car body receiver
bracket) is broken in the receiver.
Top of this shock held in place by
one bolt instead of two.
Roll bar was not installed
w/ spreader plates at bottom
of bar where pipe(s) touch floor.
I removed front (diagonal)
bars since they obscured
entry to front seats.
MSD ignition, steel tubing
headers, glasspacks, traction
bars, frame stiffeners, elec fuel
pump at tank.
The only work I've done on
the lights is to get the rear
directionals to function while
being towed. The dash light
sw (to operate headlights) was
replaced w/ starter button.
I have light sw from '84 Diplomat
to wire in.
I have no idea how much of
the 'regular' wiring was abandoned/
gutted.
Heater is not piped up.
Pipe stubs are visible
at firewall.
Spare backlite, 2.68ish rear end,
steering wheel and column
from '68 donor car and fire
extinguisher included
as part of auction.
Disclaimer: I have described
what I could about the Camaro
to the best of my ability. There
is nothing about the car that I can
guarantee or warranty and I
make no claims express or
implied.
Car is for sale locally ($10K) and
I reserve right to end auction early.
Reserve set between 7000.00 and
8500.00
B & E Enterprises out of Kentucky hauled
'55 Pontiac for me from AZ to PA (2600 mi) for
$900.00 2 mos ago if you'll be freighting and
need a ballpark number.
No refunds, no trades.
Any ques, pls call (610-754-8845)
or email anytime.
My very best,
Jim C.

2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L vs Big Three-Row Crossovers | Spec comparison
Fri, Jan 8 2021The three-row 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L is here, entering an ever-growing segment of big crossovers that Jeep has ignored since the Commander of the late 2000s. Of course, the Dodge Durango has basically been a three-row version of the current Grand Cherokee with Dodge styling and a different interior, so it's not like The Corporate Entity Formerly Known as Chrysler has been without a contender in the segment. Jeep is a stronger brand than Dodge, however, and the three-row midsize segment is stronger than those with two rows (there's a vast sales difference between the Chevrolet Traverse and Blazer, as well as the Honda Pilot and Passport). In other words, the Grand Cherokee L could be a very big deal. It is also, quite literally, a very big deal. As you're about to see, it is now the largest three-row crossover, besting the length, wheelbase and height of even the gargantuan Traverse. There's more to the story than that, however, so we put together the below comparison chart to show you how the new Grand Cherokee L lines up on paper versus the biggest three-row crossovers. That includes the 2021 Ford Explorer, 2021 Kia Telluride, 2021 Hyundai Palisade and 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. This group also represents some of the strongest entries in the segment as well as those we feel are most likely to be considered alongside the big Jeep. To that end, we also included the 2021 Lincoln Aviator in the chart since its base price is actually less than what we anticipate the luxurious, range-topping Grand Cherokee L Overland and Summit trim levels to start. Engines and drivetrains Note the differences in curb weight here. The Grand Cherokee L has the highest base curb weight of the group apart from the high-lux Aviator, yet its 3.6-liter V6 has the least amount of power and torque. Therefore, it'll be surprising if it's not the slowest in the group. There's of course the Hemi V8 available on the top Overland and Summit trim levels, but again, a hefty curb weight works against it. At 5,330 pounds, the lightest V8-powered JGCL weighs 600 pounds more than V6-power Explorer Platinum and ST models. On the other hand, nothing can touch the Hemi Jeep's towing capacity, and only the 400-hp Aviator betters the Jeep's base V6. Its 6,200-pound towing capacity greatly outdoes the 5,000-pound limits of not only the Telluride, Palisade and Traverse, but most others in the segment as well.
GM recalling 135,000 SUVs with plastic jacks that can break
Sat, Jun 19 2021General Motors is recalling 135,400 compact crossovers because their emergency jack can break under load. The problem occurs when the jack — which is plastic — isn't positioned correctly as detailed in the owner's manual. This can cause the jack to fracture. If the jack breaks and the vehicle collapses, there's a risk of injury or death, according to an NHTSA recall alert. The recall involves the 2020-22 Buick Encore GX and 2021-22 Chevrolet Trailblazer. A GM test driver discovered the problem when he broke a jack during a durability test on a Trailblazer. GM started investigating in April and found 21 claims of jack failures, including one reported injury. "This jack design may not be sufficiently robust against fractures if improperly or incorrectly positioned on the vehicle frame by the user," a NHTSA safety report said. GM will start notifying vehicle owners July 26. It will provide free replacement jacks that are made of metal.  Featured Gallery 2021 Buick Encore GX View 21 Photos Recalls Buick Chevrolet GM
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
