Up for auction is a 67 Camaro RS convertible.
This is a very restorable Camaro, It needs the typical quarters, doors, outer rockers, and fenders. The floors have the typical patches in both rear foot wells, and one in the passenger side front foot area. However, the rest of the floor is in really solid shape (see pictures). Spring perches, rear frame rails, inner rocker area are in really good condition. The floor bracing is really nice. The trunk floor and shock towers are in very good rust free condition. The convertible top is in very good condition, no tears. The rear window does need to be replaced. The convertible top frame is in excellent condition, all latches work great and function very well. Window regulators work freely. Door glass is in fair condition. It has American Racing 15x7 outlaw wheels that are in good shape.
This is a V8 327 power glide Rally Sport car. I purchased this from the second owner who has had this since the very early 70's. do to front end damage back in the day, the previous owner replace the front end with a base model front clip instead of replacing the correct RS clip. The 327 (ME code) was taken out to rebuild and was replaced with a 6 cylinder......Your guess is as good as mine. It does have the original power glide trans and factory 10 bolt rear end. I DO NOT HAVE THE original engine....wish I did. The fun part is you can make this car anything you want, original, pro tour etc. without feeling guilty for cutting up a rare numbers car.
The Car does run and drive, not real well, but I have driven it up the road a few times with no issues. The power brakes and power steering etc. all work very well. You can easily drive it on a trailer, however I would not plan on driving it home unless you live next door. My plan was to restore this for myself, however I decided to restore a 69 instead...trust me it was a real hard decision.
Overall, I would rate this in relatively "fair" shape. Its been apart, but is still in one piece and very restorable. I have the clear Illinois title.
The pictures really explain this car best!
With that said, If you are in the market for a first generation Camaro convertible that with a little work you can drive now, or for a really good restoration project, this would make the perfect candidate.
Thanks for looking. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask.
Please serious bidders only. I require a 500.00 non refundable deposit at the end of auction.
I reserve the right to end auction early.
If you have less than 10 bid history please contact me first... I will cancel bids!
Happy Bidding!!!!

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
