Avec la nouvelle Corvette de troisième génération sous les feux des projecteurs chez les concessionnaires Chevy. La Camaro de deuxième année ne subissait que des modifications mineures. Notamment une nouvelle conception de la calandre, des feux arrière divisés et des feux de position latéraux ajoutés aux ailes avant et quarts arrière. Les feux de position avant des modèles non RS ont été modifiés de circulaires à ovales. La console intérieure et les gabarits étaient nouveaux pour 1968. Une poignée de maintien côté passager était disponible avec l'un des deux groupes d'intérieur personnalisés. Les fenêtres d'aération latérales vues sur les modèles de 1967 ont disparu! remplacées par le nouveau système d'admission d'air frais de Chevrolet appelé Astro Ventilation.

La Chevrolet Camaro de première année La Camaros de première année était_équipée de ressorts arrière à une lame qui contribuaient à un saut de roue non désiré en accélération brusque. Pour 1968, des ressorts arrière à lames multiples ont_été installés sur des modèles V8 haute performance.  La fixation de l’amortisseur arrière a également_été repensée. L'amortisseur côté passager est passé derrière l'essieu et l'amortisseur du côté conducteur a été monté devant l'essieu. Cette disposition en quinconce a amélioré la maniabilité et aidé à éliminer le saut de roue. Camaro SS 1968 Le SS350 a continué à utiliser le même capot que les années précédentes. Tandis que le SS396 a eu le sien, orné de deux orifices d’admission non fonctionnels. Une nouvelle option de 396 cid de 350 chevaux a_été ajoutée. Les culasses en aluminium sont désormais disponibles avec le big-block L-78. Au début, rien de plus qu’une désignation de code d’option. Le surnom Z-28 restait bloqué et les modèles ainsi équipés portaient des badges Z-28 ou 302. Le silencieux Z-28 était livré avec deux silencieux à faible restriction; un radiateur robuste avec ventilateur à température contrôlée et des roues de 15 x 6 pouces. Le puissant moteur 302 à petit bloc est resté le même. Un collecteur d'admission à piston croisé à deux corps et à deux pistons était disponible. Utilisant des carburateurs doubles de 600 cfm. La légende des courses, Mark Donahue La légende des courses, Mark Donahue, au volant de la Camaro bleue n ° 6, a remporté 10 des 13 courses Trans Am cette année. Remportant facilement la série 1968. Le moteur 302 préparé par Penske / Sunoco aurait produit 482 chevaux. Les règles de la SCCA stipulant que les pièces utilisées sur les voitures de course doivent être accessibles au public. L'équipe de course Penske / Donohue devrait_être reconnue pour son aide dans la livraison de nombreux articles de course très résistants aux comptoirs de pièces des concessionnaires. :arrow: Voir aussi : Ford Capri coupé construit par Ford Motor Company entre 1968 et 1986 Le spoiler arrière de coffre, que l’on a découvert pour la première fois sur les modèles Z-28, était désormais disponible sur toutes les Camaro et les acheteurs pouvaient désormais combiner le boîtier Z-28 avec le boîtier RS. 7 199 exemplaires de Z-28 de deuxième année ont_été vendus. Finissant systématiquement devant les Mustangs sur la piste, la publicité résultante a aidé l'ensemble des ventes de la Camaro. La production totale de Camaro pour la première année s’élève à 220 906, avec 235 417 modèles vendus en 1968.

Michael Savage New Canaan The Countries That Produced the Top Muscle Mass Cars

Car enthusiasts around the globe can vouch for the fact that muscle automobiles are a vital part of car history, especially as it associates with speed up driving. American muscle mass is basically an American-made automobile that has a lot of power and provides really good velocity capabilities. In 1964, the expression "muscle car" was coined as an outcome of the intro of mid-sized Pontiacs that came geared up with a new feature offering high-performance V8 engines. At the time, a completely equipped Pontiac GTO can run 0 to 60 miles per hour in much less than 7 seconds. At that time, that was an outstanding feat for any type of car.

 As the years went by, other automobile suppliers entered on this cars and truck fad, as well as names like Buick, Chevy, Dodge, Ford and Plymouth all released their variation of these power race auto. It came to be a significant fad at that time, and soon several motor vehicle fanatics were driving this effective, yet inexpensive electric motor vehicle.

 As the years passed and also the appeal of muscular tissue automobiles raised worldwide, the various other markets around the world including Australia, South Africa and also the UK also emerged with their versions American muscle. The ones that stuck out especially from Australia were the 1971 LC GTR Torana as well as the XP Falcon Deluxe. South Africa gave the table the Fairmont GT in addition to the Chev SS, while the United Kingdom offered the marketplace the Z28 RS Camaro in 1968. The layouts were really excellent, but they never ever stuck out as signature muscular tissue vehicles due to the fact that they were not made in the United States where the initial of these powerful automobiles were made.

 Although there were numerous various other countries that put their spin on muscle mass automobiles and manufactured their very own models, these countries were the three notable ones that brought comparable models to the American ones formerly made. There were likewise individuals from various other countries that made use of the standards set by muscle cars to develop their very own, as well as brought out quite excellent trips, although they never made them into the main stream.

 Gradually, muscle mass vehicles were created with upgraded functions an enhanced power to make them more impressive. As well as today, they still continue to be some of the most excellent cars in background. Simply be prepared to pay a lot of cash for them if you ever feel the demand to have one!

The Firehouse Find: A Massive Car Collection 70 Years in the Making!

New Post has been published on https://medianwire.com/the-firehouse-find-a-massive-car-collection-70-years-in-the-making/

The Firehouse Find: A Massive Car Collection 70 Years in the Making!

People love pirate movies because deep down we all love the idea of a good treasure hunt. And if you’re a gearhead like us, that treasure is more likely to be hidden away in some forgotten garage instead of a wooden box with an ancient lock. Now, finding one car that’s been squirreled away is pretty cool, but what if you end up finding dozens? Well, these hoards of classic cars are still out there waiting to be rediscovered. A perfect example is what is being called the Firehouse Find. It’s a huge collection that will be going up for auction at the Chattanooga Mecum event in early October.

So how do so many cars end up being stored in one place like this? Like many of these stories, it started with a young man and his love of cars. John Force (who isn’t related to the racing legend) was 14 years old when he bought his first car for just 35 bucks! That was nearly 70 years ago, and that first car was only the start of what would grow into a collection numbering right around 70 vehicles stored in an old two-story firehouse. Force, now in his mid-80s, decided it was time for his beloved cars to find new homes, so his son Mike contacted Mecum to help with the logistics of selling so many classic cars, some of which haven’t moved in decades.

Force loved all cars, but his number-one passion was Ford Thunderbirds. We got the chance to visit the old Firehouse in Augusta, Georgia, where the collection has been housed, and Mike was able to show us around the two-story building. Let’s start off by saying we’ve never seen this many T-birds lined up in a private collection before. Most are in great shape, with just a light layer of dust tamping down their brilliance. Fourteen (and a half) T-birds are in the collection, most from the 1950s. They showcase just about every factory color option available.

As Mike led us through the rows of cars, we noticed that nearly every car has a backstory. One was a 1962 Pontiac Catalina (lot F8) that the family used for road trip vacations. This black 1956 Chevy Bel Air was dented when a worker who was fixing a leak fell through the roof and landed on the passenger door (lot F15). A lifetime of collecting cars often leads to a collection of stories.

One of the more offbeat rides is this 1978 Cadillac Seville customized by the Grandeur Motor Car Corporation in Florida. Back in the day, this was what you rolled in if you wanted your neighbors to know that you had made something of yourself. The neoclassically-styled Caddy suffered damage when someone broke into it because they heard Force stored his cash in the trunk. No cash was found, but the rare Opera Coupe was seriously damaged and pushed to the back of the shop where it has sat ever since. Check out Lot F24 for more details.

Though the collection is mostly ’50s-’60s-era classics, there are a couple newer cars in the mix. This 1989 Ford Mustang GT drop-top is super-clean with low miles. The 5.0 ‘Stang is heavily optioned, and, let’s be honest, it’s getting hard to find clean, unmolested Mustangs like this. Check out lot F28 for more on this mid-80s Mustang you wish was in your garage.

What collection would be complete without a first-gen Camaro? Adding some variety is this 1969 Camaro RS/SS convertible. Fielding the 375-hp, 396-inch big-block, this Hugger Orange SS also has the preferable four-speed manual trans and a host of options such as orange Houndstooth interior and the RS package. Aside from a 1966 Mustang GT (K-Code) convertible and a 1965 drop-top ‘Stang, it’s the only classic ponycar in the collection. We also get the feeling that Force was a real lover of convertibles, since softtops dominate the collection.

I guess we should have included this 1968 Mercury Cougar XR-7 in the above ponycar group, but this one is so cool it deserved its own mention. The Cougar was branded as a fancier Mustang (well, it did cost nearly 300 bucks more!) and a fully optioned Cougar XR-7 sold new for $4,500. Now that seems like a bargain, but in today’s money that’s nearly $40,000! The 1967 Cougar also has the distinction of being the only Mercury-brand car to win Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award! This one is powered by a 302-inch Windsor V-8 and is still rocking the original Philco AM radio. If you want to bid, and we know you do, find more info here. Mecum also did a killer walkaround video on this Cougar XR-7.

Corvettes are represented in the collection as well. Yeah, there are only three, but they are three good ones. This fuel-injected four-speed 1962 Vette (Lot F51) has all the right options. There’s also a 1966 Corvette convertible (Lot F5) that wears the right color and fields a 427 big-block engine backed up by a manual four-speed trans. Rounding out the Corvette trifecta is a 40th-Anniversary C4 Corvette (Lot F62). We must say that Force is a man of very good taste. Check out Mecums coverage of these Corvettes in this video they put together.

The collection does weigh heavily on Force’s favorites, like Tri-Fives and T-birds, but it also has quite a few cars that we don’t see very often, like a 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 1955 Buick Century, 1956 Continental MkII, 1954 Mercury Monterey, 1965 Buick Riviera, 1956 Ford Fairlane Sunliner, 1959 Olds Futuramic 88, 1957 Chrysler 300C, and many more. Another one of our favorites was this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 with a 427ci engine and four-speed trans (Lot F58). By the way, if you’re into Tri-Fives be sure to check out this video.

We have a soft spot for Bandit-era Trans Ams, so this one, next to a drop-top Cutlass, grabbed our attention. Alas, these two are the only cars from the collection not heading to the Mecum auction; instead they are destined for the garages of lucky family members. Still, over 60 cars and motorcycles are heading across the Mecum block in Chattanooga, and we’re sure these rediscovered treasures are really going to brighten someone’s day. To see the complete collection and hear some details from the car researchers at Mecum, be sure to check out their info page.

So I have a 1968 camaro (base model, not a SS or RS) and I want to fix it. What type of engine should I put in it?

I have been debating about what type of engine I should put in the car. I either way to put in a LS engine (cast iron or aluminum, it doesn’t really matter to me), a Chevy 350 engine, or try converting it to electric. I have no idea which one to use. They all seem like good ideas to me. The LS and 350 both are popular and are proven to be good, but electric motors have instant torque and can be just as good as the other two. Please help.
