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!!!!!!!!!!!

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]
Mon, Mar 17 2014Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
