1968 Chevy Camaro

Two owner rust free California car, clean and clear California title and registration, built in Los Angeles and is an original V8 car by the VIN.

The Camaro was bought from the original owner who had it customized in the mid 70’s, she drove it for a few years then stored the car for approximately thirty years, only reviving it a couple of years ago. It has had only one repaint in 45 years. The only filler or bondo on the entire car is the little that was used to blend the rear flairs, there is also no cracking or flaking around the flairs, ( a magnet sticks firmly to every panel, even the normally rusted or repaired areas such as the, truck floor, lower front fenders, quarters and lower edges of the doors, these are all rust and bondo free on this car ). The paint has faded a little over the years and there are some nicks and scratches but the exterior still looks presentable. The car is also hand pinstriped in the 70’s style. The front inner fenders were removed when the car was modified as was popular in the 70’s, but they will be supplied with the car, ( they are easily bolted back in place ).

The wheels are the original US made 70’s Ansen slot mags in 15x10 and 14x7 with new white lettered tires. The stance comes courtesy of period correct Gabriel HiJacker air shocks.

The engine is a 350 V8 with high performance heads, a mild cam, Edelbrock Torker intake, Edelbrock carb, headers and a dual exhaust. The engine does not overheat, smoke, leak any fluids or make any noises it shouldn’t. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a TransGo shift kit and B&M ratchet shifter.

The interior was redone from headliner to carpet in the mid 70’s and still looks new. New second generation Camaro seats were bought and fitted before the whole interior was tastefully retrimmed in black velour. The 70’s Radio/Cassette with additional amp and graphic equalizer still works great as does the retro Dixco tach. All the glass is good with no cracks or scratches.

All in all the car is an original 70’s street machine, built in the 70’s, not a recreation or an overdone restoration, no quick cheap paintjobs or amateur repairs to make it look pretty to sell. It has perfect patina and looks, sounds and behaves as a real street machine from that era should; mean, loud, fast and dangerous.

Please feel free to ask any question, any inspection is welcomed.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
