Re: [Chevelle-list] A new El Camino?????
They didn't sell to many 'cause they build that many! I don't recall seeing more than one setting on anybody's lot for any extended period of time. SSR's still bring a good dollar setting on a used car lot and, IMO, look damn good. Did you also think the Plymouth Prowler was a flop? They were expensive and had great styling and also were limited in availability. But, they were under powered with a V-6 engine. Didn't bother the sales or the resale value one bit. I would say the major flop award from the last 5 years goes to Ford for the Thunderbird resurrection. A bunch were built and they sat on dealers' lots for a long time. -- Original message -- From: SLWeaver [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSR was probably a flop becasue it was too slow, a little too expensive (for its slowness), and not as useful as a pickup...they actually may be worth something someday though since they didn't sell too many.

MARK PHELAN G8 models to broaden appeal Pontiac sedan will be offered as a station wagon and sport truck November 20, 2007 BY MARK PHELAN FREE PRESS AUTO WRITER Pontiac wants to add variants of the eagerly awaited G8 rear-wheel-drive sport sedan to broaden the model's appeal. A station wagon and sport-truck variation are among the possibilities for the Australian-built car that is to go on sale next spring. Advertisement It's very likely we're going to get more variants of the G8, a General Motors Corp. source said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the automaker is still considering which G8 models to offer. The sleek sedan will become the flagship for Pontiac's return to its performance heritage when it replaces the Grand Prix sedan in 2008. GM's Holden Australian unit builds the wagon and pickup models as part of its best-selling Commodore VE family of vehicles. The G8 is a mildly revised version of the Commodore VE sedan. Its sporty looks are reminiscent of a BMW 5-series, and it is the first production model from GM's global Zeta family of rear-wheel drive cars, which also will produce the Chevrolet Camaro and a number of other models GM's North American plants will build for several of the automaker's brands. It's optimistic to think that all the body styles Holden builds could come here, the source said. The weak U.S. dollar makes importing the wagon and pickup a dicey proposition, and GM isn't sure how much demand there would be for either of the cars. GM has not said how many G8s it

[Chevelle-list] a 64 Chevelle Purchase in Canada
What kind of problems can you have buying a 64 Chevelle from Canada? I live in Texas and wonder if there are some legal problems? The car is supposed to be registered in the states, and the person tells me it costs too much to license and title the car in Canada. Is that true? If the car is sold through Ebay will it cover any problems that might arise if the guy stiffs me! I'm just curious if this is a good thing to pursue? Being the guy lived in Texas, but now lives in Canada, I have no clue how the law works across the border or I have a good chance on getting the big weenie on the deal! Are there people or a service you can hire in Canada to inspect the car and be a go between on the finances? Dan Mascheck Wharton, TX

Re: [Chevelle-list] a 64 Chevelle Purchase in Canada
I bought my '71 Malibu from a guy in Canada, but it was registered in Canada. The car has to pass EPA and DOT regulations before you can import it from Canada, but fortunately, any car older than 25 years old is exempt. I shipped the car from Vancouver BC to NY, and used the shipper as the go-between person, ie, the shipper actually paid the guy for the car. I worked with a customs broker to get the car imported properly. As far as inspection goes, service stations in Canada have a standard used car check list they go through. The list is very thorough. I had the owner take the car to a local service station, they inspected the car and faxed me the results. It was well worth it, as the report covered everything that was wrong with the car. It may seem like a big hassle, but the whole deal worked out well for me. At the time, the Canadian dollar was 30% less than the US dollar, so total cost of the car purchase and shipping was about $5k. However, some newer cars (1980's) that come from Canada don't pass EPA and DOT standards, and can't be registered in the US. Makes them tough to sell.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Chevelle-list Digest, Vol 52, Issue 37
The owner lived in Deer Park, TX and still has a phone number there. He took the car with him to Canada, but found out it costs too much to get it registered there. He had an ad on Ebay, but then it was taken down. He said he took it down due to a buyer wanting it off line, but the buyer couldn't come up with the cash. I'm not so sure if Ebay didn't take the add down for other reasons! I have asked him to send me his phone number and he does have mine to discuss a solution. At present he hasn't called or given me his number. He has told me he will have Ebay send me an invoice through them, so I will have some protection. First time I have had this proposed to me. Can this work??? The car is supposed to be registered in Texas, and has a clear title. I want the car, I have the cash, but have concerns about sending any money without someone to represent both parties that I can trust and it would be nice to have someone inspect it and give me a report that I can trust. I plan on calling the Canadian Consulate in Dallas to see if they have any ideas or opinions! Any ideas or solutions would be appreciated!
