I have been building and showing cars for over 50 years, and now, I'm just too old to do it any more. Must sell my favorite toy. Beautiful 1970 El Camino 350 crate motor with 4-bolt mains. (the engine I.D. on the block checks out), engine has only just over2000 miles TH350 trans with brand-new Hurst shifter, rear-end had 4:11s, now it has brand new 3:44s for driving to shows Car is tubbed with Mickey Thompson 15" wides inside the wheel wells. Fuel cell in bed, about 16 gals. Breather punched small hole in tonneau cover (shown) Whole car freshly rewired complete. new big Auto Meter tach and gages Car freshly painted, has full-polished American wheels, professionally cut and welded hood Engine has new lifters and pushrods, new retro valve covers, ceramic coated headers, new aluminum radiator, and electric fan (I never turn it on, car runs cool, 180-190) Cam is not too radical, lopes a bit, Hilborn ELECTRONIC fuel injection, (tune it with your laptop) Runs great and dependable This car always draws a crowd at shows, I have over $40,000 invested, injectors alone were over $8000, plus over $15,000 in recent upgrades to make the car awesome Must sell soon, asking reasonable price. I live in a retirement village, cannot park it here. No one could build this car for near what I'm asking! REALLY low reserve. If you EVER want a really nice show car, this is your chance. Less than half it's value. Shipping is up to buyer. This car is dependable, beautiful, a crowd magnet, and easily worth much more than my reserve. May consider a nice "T" roadster as part of the deal, for week end cruising, but NO OTHER trades. Don't try to lowball me. I'll NEVER be that desperate. People who have cars WORTH buying don't ever give them away. You get what you pay for..... |

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

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.
