Want some more super cool muscle cars? Check out this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS LS5 Convertible! The set price is $119,900.00 and it is available at RK Motors Charlotte:

If you watched the recent Scottsdale auctions, you already know that duplicating big-name muscle cars is big business. Last year, we featured a stunning black cherry 1970 Chevelle LS5 convertible that was about the most beautifully executed clone we’d ever seen, and it sold for $75K substantial sum to a very happy enthusiast. Just two months ago, we sold a Fathom Blue LS5 Convertible tribute for $80,000.00 and we had five guys asking us when we would be getting another, while lamenting being too slow to pull the trigger.

But in reality, nothing compares to the real deal, especially when you’re talking about high-end investment-grade cars like this 1970 Chevelle SS convertible. Yes, it is a real SS, a real LS5 car, and has been authenticated by none other than Jerry MacNeish of Camaro High Performance. It packs a date-code correct engine and transmission, and has been highly detailed for show. Only 4574 LS5s were built in 1970, and of those, only a fraction were convertibles, making this a very rare piece indeed. See more, click on read more and take a look at the gallery!

We found this perfect 1966 Stang for $69,900 on eBay and here’s the description of the listing:

Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing! On the outside, this amazing 1966 Mustang convertible looks like a clean, black ragtop with a high-quality restoration, but when you start to look a little closer you notice things like the 4-wheel disc brakes, the 17-inch Torque Thrusts, and the slightly raked ride height. Under the skin, it’s a take-no-prisoners hammer designed to pound anything with less than 500 horsepower into dust, thanks to a 600 horsepower aluminum stroker motor, a Richmond 5-speed, and a heavily fortified suspension. Best of all, it isn’t some Shelby clone with oversized fender flares that will attract all kinds of unwanted attention. No, like all the best sleepers, this one keeps a low profile until it’s time to crack the throttle. By then, you’d better be holding on tight, because all hell’s gonna break loose.

INDIANAPOLIS – When the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible sets the pace for the 2011 Indianapolis 500 this Sunday, it will showcase a top built to last a lifetime, operate worry-free and maintain the appearance of its Coupe sibling.

To assure long-term durability, the convertible top underwent extensive testing during development, being opened and closed more than 22,500 times – three times more than would be expected in a typical 10 years of use. Some of those cycles were performed in extreme conditions; temperatures ranging from minus-22° F to 170° F and humidity of up to 95 percent.

“This past winter we even had our engineers driving 80 of these convertibles back and forth to work every day here in Michigan,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “They had to open and close the top five times each day no matter what the weather was like.”

Every Camaro Convertible undergoes a water test as it completes assembly in Oshawa, Ontario. In addition, vehicles are randomly chosen to undergo an eight-minute water test at the assembly facility in Oshawa and at an identical facility at the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan. More than 7,200 gallons of water are hurled at the car in a hurricane-like downpour at a pace of 900 gallons per minute.  Read more and watch the video!

Innocence is the last word that comes to mind when one thinks about the Chevrolet Camaro. And the same goes for electric propulsion. This is because the Camaro has been a symbol of the American (automotive) dream for decades and the contemporary incarnation of the car is a perfect example of this.

However, it seems that General Motors has found a way of combining the three, while also adding the “convertible” world. No, the upcoming Camaro convertible won’t be an innocent electric machine. Instead, we are talking about a Camaro for your kids.

The vehicle measures 61 inches long (154.9 cm), 23 inches (58.4 cm) wide and 29.5 inches (74.9 cm) in height, tips the scales at 75 lbs/34 kg and has a “payload” of 130 lbs/59 kg (yes, your boy will be able to offer his girlfriend a ride).

The car uses an electric propulsion system, offering a cruising speed of 5 mph (8 km/h). The vehicle’s 12V battery needs between 8 and 10 hours to reach a full charge.

“Officially licensed kid’s battery operated version of the Chevrolet Camaro. Perfect for your child, your grandchild, a nephew or a niece. This ride rocks!” stated the press release. Read more!

You may have heard about the upcoming convertible version of Chevrolet Camaro. The interesting things is that in all concept photos there is no top – it doesn’t exist.

A repoty by Automotive News say that GM has awarded Magna the contract to build the Camaro convertible top with approx. 20,000 units annually. These  numbers lead us to a conclusion that GM hopes the Camaro convertible is going to be a successful version. If this production plan comes real, the Camaro Convertible would then join the Mustang as the best selling convertible in America.

However, GM has yet to officially confirm the Camaro Convertible for production – it is expected that a Camaro Convertible could arrive later this year as a 2011 model.
