77 Camaro – buy?
Hello, I was asked yesterday evening by a good friend (witnesses and godfather of my daughter) whether we would like to buy a 77 Camaro together. The topic together to buy a vintage car from our year of birth was already in the room for a long time, now by chance something has arisen, which I would like to hear your opinion. The car comes from a distant kin of my friend, who bought it in the 70s as a demonstration car. Since then the car has been in it First hand – the good man is now 91 and has had a stroke. So the Camaro should go away – where we come into play. Apart from the paintwork, nothing is tinted or welded. The box is credible accident-free. The car has been proven to have run 46000km, is an EU version and was repainted 6-7 years ago. However, the paintwork is not particularly good – for now but ok. The interior is still original – clear dissolves here and there something, but in large and whole The 5.0 V8 engine jumped after a year of service with a tremoring bubbling and ran without problems – we could then make a short test drive. Gearbox – brake – chassis – steering etc. inconspicuous. We sat in with 4 men, however, it hung so deep that the exhaust was running at floor waves. Is this normal? On stage we were not yet – underbody, wheel boxes, engine compartment etc. are stainless. Only at the rear end on one side it gammelts un tenrum. The price – because within the family is less than 5000,-€ – i.e. 2-2500 per nose. A parking space in an underground garage is available… I would estimate the general condition with 2-3. The car has TÜV and an H-approval. What do you mean? Greetings Peter

Missing trailer load Ford F150… what to do? Too low maximum ZGG?
Hey, I wanted to get a pedestal with ABE for max 3.5 ton of trailer load on eBay, as I would like to take the class BE driver’s license soon. Again for safety reasons in the vehicle papers and what do I have to see there? Under O.1 and O.2 absolutely nothing is registered. Today immediately with the local TÜV examiner on the phone and he said that I should buy the AHK anyway. And then with this + the values of Ford USA come to him and then one can enter a pedestal afterwards It was very friendly, but somehow I’m uncomfortable to buy this thing if I don’t have any certainty that I can really pull the truck. In addition, he said that he can’t enter more than the maximum permissible weight of the F150. There’s about ~2,83To in my bill. My emptiness already weighs ~2,6To. How can that be? That’s not true, that I can only charge just under 230kg in the debris? I’d like to have the 3,5To trailer load. With my combination si nd according to Ford USA 7700lb possible, have even the tow package as factory option. What is your recommendation? Can you do anything at the maximum permissible total weight? Greeting, Johannes

Article about placement/dimensioning engine coolers and articles chassis
Hi, yesterday I stumbled over 2 interesting articles, one about the placement and dimensioning of engine coolers and the other about chassis geometry. Is there any interest in putting this online? The articles are in English and not necessarily addressed to the Otto-normal driver. If desired, I can try to shorten them a bit and insert comments if necessary. However, this would do quite well, and if not a good part of the stock crew for this int I don’t need to do my job. P.S.: It’s almost 1 year ago that I was near Camaro, or there was some work to do on Alero. It’s been so hard to get home.
