Connecting People With Cool Cars

Hey Cool Car Fans,

This is one of those extremely cool classic cars that somebody took the time to rebuild and they did it right. I have seen so many classic cars over the years that are junk. People have brought some of these cars to me and asked me to sell them, but I’ve said “No way!” because they couldn’t or wouldn’t invest the money to fix them correctly. Not so with this vehicle!

This beast has almost $50,000 into it and he’s offering it for $29,995, which is a steal of a deal for what this car has to offer.

Unlike other consignments where I take the vehicle and show it to a potential buyer with a test drive at my office that is not going to happen here. I’ve asked the seller to allow me to bring the buyer to his shop and do a private showing because this vehicle has 600hp and two NOS tanks in the trunk.

The last thing I would want is for someone inexperienced to get behind the wheel of this monster and lose control because this car needs someone with experience behind the wheel. It’s a ride that is ready for Bandimere Speedway or to be put into the garage of a private collector who just wants to look at the 1969 Chevy Malibu, which is a super cool ride.

All of the documentation is with this vehicle, including photos of how it was torn down and rebuilt with plenty of photos along the way. You can see the size of the photo album that was put together documenting everything about this vehicle. It’s sweet! I’ll be amazed if it doesn’t sell for the full price and sell rather quickly once word gets out on the market that it’s available.

There are plenty of people out there with some money who would rather invest in a vehicle like this than tinker around in their garage for the next three years trying to build something on their own. In the end their vehicle may not compete with this 69′ Malibu or it may end up costing them more money anyway. This vehicle is amazing and should do extremely well on the racetrack because it was built right with a 454 Big Block motor and all the bells and whistles.

Rather than write all the details here, I believe pictures are worth a thousand words. I’m going to let the photos speak for themselves on this one and if you know someone who is into really fast, well built and restored classic cars, send them this link and tell them to check it out at CoolCarGuy.com.

1969 Chevy Malibu Super Sport Clone – $29,995

UPDATE! The owner of the vehicle told me to drop the price to $22,000! Don’t miss it!

Hey Cool Car Fans,

I still have to get photos up of a really cool 1981 Delorean DMC-12 that I recently sold for a client of mine, so stay tuned for that post coming soon. The Jeep and the Jaguar that I consigned are both gone, but check out this very cool 1967 Camaro that a client of mine restored.

I’m posting the before and after photos for you to see how far this vehicle has come from where it was to what it looks like now.  And although it’s not an original SS, it’s a pretty cool SS clone and these vehicles are getting more and more difficult to find as time marches on since they only made so many in 1967, which was the first year for this classic car.  How many are left that are in good running condition or available for restoration?

I asked my client to send me details on the story of this 67′ Camaro and he wrote a great story, but before I share with you what he had to say, here’s some information on the 1967 Camaro from Wikipedia.com that I think you’ll find interesting.

“The debut Camaro shared some mechanicals with the 1968 Chevy II Nova. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options, including three main packages, were available. The RS was an appearance package that included hidden headlights, revised taillights, RS badging, and exterior rocker trim. It was available on all models.

The SS included a 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8 engine and the L35 and L78 396 cu in (6.5 L) big-block V8′s were also available. The SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping and SS badging on the grille, front fenders, gas cap, and horn button. It was possible to order both the SS and RS to receive a Camaro RS/SS. In 1967, a Camaro RS/SS convertible with a 396 engine paced the Indianapolis 500.

The Z/28 option code was introduced in December 1966 for the 1967 model year. It was the brainchild of Vince Piggins, who conceived offering “virtually race-ready” Camaros for sale from any Chevrolet dealer.[1] This option package was not mentioned in any sales literature, so it was unknown to most buyers.

Production numbers:
RS: 64,842
SS: 34,411
Z28: 602
Total: 220,906“

Now for the unique story on this 1967 Camaro SS Clone…

“Hey John,

Here’s the story on my 1967 Camaro and if it wasn’t for the economy and my business needing some additional funds right now I wouldn’t be selling this vehicle. About 16 years ago someone decided to restore this car they completely took it apart down to nothing. They then realized that it was just too big of a project for their skills to put it back together, so there it sat in a garage for another 14 years!

Along came another 67′ Camaro lover, who fell in love with this vehicle and brought it to Colorado. This gentleman also realized it was beyond his skill level to do on his own, so he sold it to a restoration shop. He didn’t want to sell it, but he needed room, but he had the silver powder coated sub frame and new bushings on the vehicle and made it a roller.

This is were I came in and I performed a body off complete restore. It originally had a 6 cylinder engine, but now it has a new 350 and turbo 350 tranny. Since the Camaro sat in the garage instead of driving there was no rust and the body was in great shape. It even comes with the original security key and the original Camaro manual. We’re talking about a vehicle that is 43 years old and it now looks great!

Here are the bullet points…

• Body-Off Restore
• Custom Paint with Ghost Flames – Hot!
• NEW 350 Motor and a Rebuilt Turbo 350 Transmission with Shift Kit
• New Suspension, Bushings, Shocks, Springs, Leaf Springs Power Coated Sub-Frame
• All New Fuel Lines and Fuel Tank
• New Front Disc Brakes – Nice Uprgrade New Break System and Break Lines
• Interior is NEW with Silver Metallic Paint – Looks Fantastic!
• Grill is Custom and the Head Lights are Projestor Type with Blue Hallos – Very Cool
• Dual Exhaust Sounds Good – Not Too Loud
• High-End Kenwood Sound System, iPod ready with Infinity Speakers
• Dupont  chroma base Paint for Show Cars – Very Expensive for High-Quality Shine  for Show Cars.
• A/C Ready and Just needs to be Hooked-Up

There you go Cool Car Fans, another Cool Car Consignment looking for a new home.  This is a pretty cool car for under $25,000 for that unique buyer who is looking for a redone 1967 Chevy Camaro that is a classic muscle car and there are fewer of them that are not rust buckets or have been restored every year.  If you’re interested drop me an email or give me a call for a private showing.

Hey Cool Car Fans,

Contrary to what many of our politicians may want to tell us the fact is that the economy and elevated gas prices have had a serious impact on American households. I see it everyday with more people calling me for used cars than new cars and looking at a complete cost of ownership when selecting a model.

Here’s a thought to think about if you’re trying to save a few bucks. Consumer Reports

 showed that on a typical new car, depreciation accounted for 46 percent of the owner costs over five years.  Everyone knows that depreciation is greatest in the first year, but I’ve been amazed at what I’ve been witnessing in a number of vehicles. The bottom line is that if you’re interested in saving money, and not just getting better fuel economy then consider buying used.

This week I purchased a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder LE with under 7,000 miles at the Dealer Auction and I’m delivering it to my client next week and save him thousands off of the invoice price of the vehicle.  The Pathfinder LE has an MSRP of $39,000, so imagine the shock my client had when he discovered that he would save thousands by having me track down a low-mileage used vehicle.  Had he purchased that vehicle new he would have lost thousands the very first year.  By the way, the Pathfinder is a great vehicle.  This is just an example of what’s happening in the marketplace for certain vehicle models.

If you focus on a nearly-new model, even one, two or three years old, you can find a vehicle that offers comparable fuel economy, performance, safety, and reliability as a new car.  You can also get the remaining factory warranty coverage included with your purchase.

Another issue that many people don’t think about is the sales tax issue, plus insurance and registration on used cars is less than new vehicles as well.  All of this leads to a vehicle that is lower to purchase and drops the total cost of ownership considerably.  In addition, buying a used vehicle can put a better-equipped model, like the Pathfinder LE that I mentioned above that he is getting for thousands less than what he would pay for an SE.  Buying used can definitely put a larger, better-equipped model within your budget, but if fuel economy is your driving motivation there are some really great vehicles out there, in American, Japanese, Korean and European models.

Maybe I’ll write another article in November showcasing some of the choices you might want to take a look at or contact me if you are interested in having me track something down for you.

Hey Cool Car Fans,

On The Cool Car Guy Show yesterday on Castle Rock Radio

Garden State divx

A Different Loyalty dvd I had my friend Pastor Wayne of MySummitChurch.org

We had a great time having Pastor Wayne on the show. He’s a very funny guy and shared with our listeners some of the vehicles he has had over the years. Including, an early 80′s model Chevy Citation that he received as a free donation when he was going to school. He told a story about how while in Minnesota he walked out to his Citation and pulled on the door handle only to have it split in two from the cold weather. Thankfully, quality control standards on vehicles has improved since then.

Pastor Wayne also played in a band and he shared about several vans that he owned over the years. His band members of One Accord, the name of the band, actually rolled a van while carrying a trailer and had a miraculous event take place when all the members of the band walked away with the worst injury being a sprained ankle..

We had such a good time that we forgot to talk about what he’s been driving these days. Pastor Wayne and MySummitChurch has recently moved to Castle View High School in Castle Rock with service times in the High School Auditorium and Classrooms at 10:30 a.m. – Main Service (Full Children’s Ministry Offered).

If you haven’t listened to one of his 29-Minute Sermons you can download one from the church website before you head off for a Sunday drive. It was great having Pastor Wayne on the show and next time I have him on the show we will have to remember to ask him about what he’s driving these days.

Hey Cool Car Fans,

A client and friend of mine Matt Abbott fired me off a photo of his new 1949 3/4 Chevy pickup that he purchased this past week, along with a photo of the 350 engine.

Matt is pretty excited about this new project and said the following in his email…

“I wanted to introduce you all to Daisy, or Bess. Not sure yet. 1949 Chevy 3/4 w/ 350 engine and a 350 transmission. She is a good start to a rod & will be low and loud shortly. Here she be…”

These trucks can turn into really cool vehicles when rebuilt. I found a link to a finished 1949 green machine on a classic truck site called ClassicTrucks.com

that is definitely worth checking out.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens to “Daisy or Bess” and see how cool this vehicle turns turns out to be down the road. Way to go Matt!

What do you think?
