I purchased this 1969 camaro convertible in 1995. At the time it had non matching numbers as it still does, but was in driveable condition. As I drove it over the next 3 and a half years I was steady buying parts for its refurbishment, including orginal chevy body panels as well as many other OEM parts. In the spring of 1999 my best friend and I began the frame off restoration. Between us we have slightly over 80 years of mechanical experience and are both certified first class mechanics as well as state safety inspectors. Restoration was completed in late 2001. Many parts have been replaced and up-grades made since that time. The engine and transmission were replaced by GM crate products 12 hundred miles ago. Many others parts such as the complete clutch assembly, intake manifold, carb, and distributor were also replaced or up-graded at that time.This 69 camaro convertible is a very clean well preserved restoration and is in excellent mechanical condition. Since being restored it has been driven very little and has always been garage kept and covered which helps explain its very good body condition. The black paint is so glossy that many ladies over the years have commented that they can do their hair and makeup from their reflection off the body panels. Keep in mind that this is a twelve year old paint job with a few small scraches and chips. Upon close inspection there are only a few and this is from normal driving conditions.This Camaro performs and handles very well. Most heads turn as you pass by. It has disc brakes on the front and drum on the rear. The factory cowl induction air system works flawlessly. This Camaro has factory in dash tach and console instrument cluster. The entire interior is in excellent condition. The Kenwood am/fm cassette player is made especially for 69 Camaros, as the knobs match the other dash components indicate. The cd juke box is available from Classic Camaro where the stereo was purchased. The four speaker system, dash and doors, produces plenty of sound at highway speeds with the top down. The California Turbo mufflers sound great, but keep engine noise down at low speeds so you don't offend neighbors when coming and going. The engine compartment has lots of chrome and no puddles or spots on the floor below it. No short cuts or cut corners were ever taken in any of the maintenance or restoration work done, which I feel in part is why the car looks, sounds, and performs very much like a new one would. This Camaro while still a used car is extremely reliable and could be driven anywhere.
The following is a list of the factory options: 4 speed manual transmission, console instrument cluster, multi leaf rear springs, factory tach in dash, cowl induction air system, ralley wheels, rear bumper guards.
The following up-grades were made as technology caught up to this camaro: 350 4 bolt main engine, coleman headers and california turbo mufflers, old style starter replaced with mini high torque style that does not over-heat, less efficient rochester 4 barrel with new edelbrock 4 barrel and matching intake manifold, orginal distributor up-graded to new HEI, hurst competition plus shifter replaced factory muncie. THESE MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE TO IMPROVE THE DURABILITY, EFFICENTCY, AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE and boy did they!!!!!!!!!!!

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
