This is your chance! You have a 300 hardtop you want to build, but you would rather have a convertible! Here is the car you need. Take your solid hardtop and turn it into a convertible.

This car came out of pole shed in Michigan. Untouched for the last 20 years, other than being used as a table from time to time, it appears. The upside is that the lack of movement has prevented parts from going missing. That I am aware, the only parts not present in this car are:

Carpet

Front Kick Panels

Passenger Mirror

1 hubcap

I have the keys for the car. I am going to walk through all areas of the car regarding condition. My goal is that you know what you are buying as much as possible. If I haven't covered an area that you have questions about, please do ask a question or ask for additional pictures. My reserve is low for what I think this car could be. I will not share what my reserve is.

Overall, the car is rusty on the bottom. The higher up on the car you get, the better the car is. It appears to have been redone at some point. The paint currently is silver, but it appears it was white at some point. There is some white over-spray on some of the trim.

I am going to start with the rear of the car. The rear bumper has lots of crazing, and it has several dents in it. The tail lights are in good shape. No apparent cracks. The chome has pin point pitting, but they clean up fairly nice. The trunk sealing lip is solid with no rust through. The trunk floor has some small holes, but it is pretty solid overall. The sides have had some metal added in. It appears it was added in during a rebuild, or it could be factory. I am unsure. The trunk lid does have some rust on the underside. It is bubbling. Not sure if there is rust through, but it appears there is some filler from the prior repaint. The lower inner quarters are rusted on both sides. The passenger frame rail is solid. The Driver's side frame rail is rusted out. Frame rails are rough on the underside, but the sides and tops appear solid.

Rearend is present. Unknown condition overall. Tires are rollers at best, but they are holding air.

The Inner fenders that the top mounts are welded into are in good shape and do not have rust. The panel between the inner fenders does have some rust through in the pressed in channel. The drain is present. The top boot has been cut out at some point. The top trim where the cover snaps onto is there and in good condition. The cover is present, but there is a seam that is coming apart. The top motor is present. Unknown condition. The top cylinders are present, but they are disconnected. The top can be raised by hand currently. The top frame is in good condition overall. The top itself is not. The frame does have some detioration mainly in the tack location on the rear most cross piece. The top latch is present, as are the catches and pins on the front edge of the top frame.

The interior is all present with the exception of the carpet and the front kick panels. The door panels are decent, but they appear to have different fade rates between them. Front seat is present. Seat bottom needs redone. Seat tops have some seams coming apart and the fabric is dry. The rear seat frame is also present, and it has some seams coming apart as well. The material is there, so patterns could be made. The rear side panels are present and in fairly good condition. the convertible only rear seat pieces are there and restorable.

The floors are gone in the lower sections. They are better at the high points, including the trans tunnel. There is some rust through under the rear seat, but not bad overall. The frame sections under the seats have rust through in spots in the underside, but the car feels solid overall.

The doors appear to be in fairly good condition, and they may have been changed at some point in the car's life. The door handles are pretty cool looking, but they have some crazing. T he outer door handles don't appear to have much pitting, just the crazing. The chrome/stainless trim along the body line of the car is in good condition, but there are some dings along it. The inner door handles and window cranks appear to have some pitting.

The dash is in really good condition. There is surface rust on the steel, but the panels the switches are in are in good condition. All switches and buttons are present. There are 2 missing screws in the heater face plate. The transmission buttons operate, as does the park pawl. All switches move, but I am unsure of condition. The dash pad is in really good shape. I was not able to find any cracks in it. Some of the chrome on the dash has pitting. The glove box opens hard. The inside glove box is good. There is an owner's manual with the car. It does have some water damage.

The windshield has a scratch in it. This is a scratch, not a crack. It is likely savable. The window frame is in good condition. The vent window frames are good, and they have some tiny dot type pitting, but they shine up nice. The window moulding is there and in good condition. Wiper arms are in good condition. Blades need changed. Side window and quarter windows are all present and in good condition. Window mechanisms all work. Doors shut really nice.

Cowl vent appears good. Hood appears to have some filler, but does not appear to be rusted out. The fenders have had some rust repair and filler. The rockers have had rust repair. Front frame is in better condition than the rear frame.

The 361 engine does not currently turn, but it is complete. The PO had begun a swap to a 4 barrel intake, and the car was running prior to that. The new intake is on, and the carb that is now on the car is corroded. Wiring in the engine bay does not appear to be hacked. The engine is complete., I do have the air cleaner, though it is not shown in the pictures. All accessories are present. The radiator is present. Condition unknown. The car does have power steering and power brakes. The brakes are currently working and keep the car from being moved while it is pushed. There is some rust through in the inner fender and radiator support area.

Grill is in good overall condition. Hood latch works, and the way it is hidden in the grill is pretty darn cool. Front bumper has some damage. Light bezels are good overall. They have a couple spots of pitting each.Trim on the car is all complete. In the trim around the trunk and the rear bumper, there are a couple locations where a PO has used screws to hold them on.

The fuel tank looks to have been epoxy coated on the outside.

Overall, my assessment of this car is that it is best used in conjunction with a rust free 2 door to build a nice convertible. I do know the location of such a car.

I have tried by best to let you know EXACTLY the condition of this car. If you do have other questions about things I have not answered, please let me know. I will try and respond as quickly as I can.

If the car sells, I would like a non-refundable 500$ deposit via paypal within 3 days. I feel that I have given you all enough information about the car that you can make an informed decision.

I have WAY WAY WAY more pictures available than Ebay will let me post.... You can also come check out the car if you are local to me. It is POSSIBLE I may be able to deliver the car, as I have been buying cars throughout the midwest to part out. Please communicate with me regarding that possibility prior to bidding. If the car does not sell, I will be parting it out.

In all likelihood, I have forgotten something. I will add it should I remember, or, please ask if you desire further information.

2017 Chevy Camaro Z/28 Nurburgring crash caught on video

Thu, May 12 2016

A 2017 Chevy Camaro Z/28 prototype crashed Thursday morning during testing on the Nurburgring in Germany. The driver appears to be unharmed, and the Camaro was not severely damaged. You can see the crash happen near the 1:35 mark of the video. Everything is going fine as the camo-clad Camaro accelerates onto the 'Ring. But as the driver goes through a turn the back wheels lock up. The driver then nails the brakes, the front wheels lock up, and he careens into the rail, getting airborne in the process briefly. The driver then navigates the Camaro to the other side of the circuit. A crumpled front fender and maimed aero is the only damage. View 11 Photos Mishap aside, this is an excellent look at what we believe is the track-focused Camaro Z/28. We see the huge wing in back and smaller winglets in front reminiscent of the Corvette Z06's Z07 Performance Pack. The new Z/28 has a throaty, almost buzzy V8 sound. We predict the seven-speed manual transmission from the Corvette, and perhaps the new 10-speed automatic trans from the Camaro ZL1, will be available. This prototype has a huge, gaping grille, blacked out wheels, and an aggressive front splitter. Look for the Z/28 to go on sale next year. A General Motors spokesperson said the company doesn't comment on development testing, but noted that "safety is our overriding priority." Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

European new car sales drop nearly 8% in first half of 2019

Thu, Jul 18 2019

PARIS — European car sales dropped 7.9% in June, led by bigger declines for Nissan, Volvo and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), according to industry data published on Wednesday. Registrations fell to 1.49 million cars last month from 1.62 million a year earlier across the European Union and EFTA countries, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said in a statement. Calendar effects resulted in two fewer sales days in most markets, accentuating the decline. Registrations for the first half closed 3.1% lower, ACEA said. For European carmakers, weakening demand at home compounds the pressure from a sharper contraction in China and emerging markets that may yet bring more profit warnings. NissanÂ’s aging model lineup contributed to a 26.6% June sales slump while Volvo Cars, owned by ChinaÂ’s Geely, saw deliveries tumble 21.7%. Registrations also fell 13.5% last month at FCA, 10.1% at BMW, 9.6% at Volkswagen Group and 8.2% for both Mercedes parent Daimler and FranceÂ’s PSA Group. The Peugeot makerÂ’s domestic rival Renault suffered less, posting a 3.9% decline. By the Numbers BMW Chrysler Fiat Nissan Volkswagen Volvo Peugeot Renault
