1970 Chevrolet Camaro Ss on 2040-cars
Coachella, California, United States
Nut and Bolt restoration. Professionally built. Everything has been gone through and rebuilt,
refreshed, or replaced if needed. This is teetering on the line of being a #1 condition car.
Numbers matching 350 ci and TH350 transmission. She was rated 300 horsepower from the factory and the 3 speed was a
nice upgrade in 1970, making freeway speeds a lot smoother. The engine and trans were completely rebuilt and
resealed. No smoke, no stutter, no hesitation. She runs cool and crisp. Plenty of pep, and ultra-smooth shift
points. A wonderful exhaust note. Quiet in the cockpit but you will know it’s a healthy V8 when you put your foot
in it. Silky smooth power steering, everything on the car is new. Suspension feels great. Not too soft, not too
harsh. Driveshaft is balanced and there’s no vibrations or wandering like so many old cars tend to project. 12
bolt posi rear-end handles the power with ease. Welded rear sway bar brackets as expected on the SS, she is really
ready to hit the road. Power disc brakes up front with no diving, no shaking. Her road manners are excellent. One
hand on the wheel going 75 in the left lane no problem. Her mechanicals are properly sorted and it’s easy to
notice when you get behind the wheel. Front to back, she is all dialed.
The body and paint are just outstanding.
Inside the car is as cool as the outside. A smooth blend of 100% original equipment and some new touches that are
needed on a 51-year-old car. The carpet and seat covers have been refreshed. The springs and foam inside the seats
are wonderful, no aches and pains after an hour cruise. The wood trim option is aged to perfection. The original
gauges are nice and clear, illumination and dimming all in working order. The 8k tach is one of the SS features
that really stands out. No cracks in the dash, everything is tidy and nice. AC blows cold and the AM radio works
awesome. The console appears to be original, including operational light, with some signs of wear. Lap belts appear
to be original, and the overhead shoulder belts are in such great condition

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.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
