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.

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..... |

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.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
