You are looking at one of the nicest 1969 RS Camaros anywhere...not only in appearance but in performance, drivability, overall setup and investment potential. I have spent over $15,000 under the hood alone. Only the highest quality parts were used in this incredibly fast, yet smooth and reliable 383 Stroker motor including AFR aluminum heads, Holley carburetor, polished intake, roller rockers and the list goes on. The engine was built by RP Racing Engines, Lenoir, NC and dyno tuned at over 500 HP. The car also has the Be Cool radiator which allows it to be driven around town as well as long distance driving. I also have the original #'s matching 350 that has had one rebuild and has only 800 miles on it before it was pulled to put in the newer high performance engine. Investment wise it is a good idea to keep the original engine fresh and safe while using a fully dressed and higher performance motor for shows and cruse in's. The Muncie 4 speed transmission and 12 bolt rear end 3.55:1 gear are rebuild and original to the car as well. The floors are uncut and no filler to be found. the car was stripped to the bare metal with many hours of blocking and sanding to get the incredible straight high gloss paint. The interior is excellent with in dash tach and console gauges. This is a very fast and fun car to drive and will turn heads because of its beauty as well as the sound. This is truly an excellent investment quality vehicle and has the best of both looks and performance. This car is VERY DEPENDABLE...I have driven it locally as well as on long trips in the ten years that I have owned it. I have this Camaro for sell locally and reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 828-433-8750 or email me at lharbison@charter.net.

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.
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.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
