I am selling my '69 Hugger Orange Camaro (SS Badging) VIN Number: 123379N567413
I bought the car in October 2011 from a friend of mine who got the car out of Pennsylvania and had it shipped here to Pensacola. I drove it for a few months w/the built 350 it had in it then around mid December the motor and tranny were out and the LS1 swap got underway. I've put around 3,500 miles on her after the swap. The car has PS, PB (front disc, rear drum), LS1 w/ 4L60E, Vintage Air Gen IV, 10 Bolt Rear w/ Eaton POSI and 3.36 Richmond gear (Gear and POSI were installed 10/2012 along with new bearings, seals, cover gasket, and gear oil), and American Racing 17x8 TT2's all the way around. Tires have good tread on them. Were put on right before I bought the car. Battery is newer. This car drives great and gets good gas mileage. I drove it to NC and TN for Run Thru The Hills in September 2012 and the car did great! Cruised the whole way there and back at 75-80mph w/AC on and music playing. 26 mpg. I'm selling because I have enjoyed the car and want to invest in another house.
Motor/Drivetrain: The motor is an LS1 out of a 2002 SS Camaro that had 89,000 miles on it when we removed it and the 4L60E from the car. I took all accessories of the motor and did a thorough cleaning and degreasing (See pics). I then painted the block, water pump, etc. Cast Coat Iron. The pulleys, coil packs, and upper intake are Semi Flat Black. The tranny is Cast Coat Iron as well. It all looks really clean and people comment on it when you open the hood. The oil pan is the Holley LS pan. I used Dirty Dingo sliders for adjustibility. Aluminum radiator and dual electric fans. New water pump. Taylor Wires. Lokar throttle cable and pedals. K&N filter. I added a Z06 cam and springs and Dynatech longtube headers. Off road H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers complete the exhaust. The car has been tuned and totally remapped. The motor runs great, starts up as it should, idles perfectly, shifts perfectly, and it's a pretty peppy car. I've had some high horsepower cars and this car is as fun to drive as any of them.
Suspension: The car was pretty stock when I bought it. I added Hotckis front coil springs and rear leaf springs (1.5" drop), Hotckis front sway bar, and new front shocks. It sits awesome and handles so much better. These few upgrades totally changed the feel and look of the car.
Interior: I just installed a brand new carpet in the car in January. The seats and console are out of a 2002 SS Camaro and the driver is power. With the console there are two AC power jacks and 4 cup holders. The dash pad is new. I installed a JVC cd player w/ Ipod hookup. I installed Kenwood dash speakers and Pioneer rear deck speakers. Installed a Grant steering wheel, Autometer Phantom gauges, and 3-way seat belts. All original side and rear glass. Some scratches. The interior is very clean and simple. *The lid on console needs to be replaced. I have just dealt w/ it. It opens and closes but the mounting bracket is messed up. It's loose and doesn't latch shut. Junkyard/U-Pull-It might be the place to look.
Paint/Body: This is a great looking DRIVER car! It's not a show car. I just waxed her last weekend. She gets a lot of comments, thumbs ups, smiles everywhere I go. The paint looks killer from 8-10ft away, but if you inspect the car up real close there are some rust spots in the typical places; ie bottom of doors, rear deck cover?? (Between rear glass and trunk), and one on the piece in front of the hood above grill area (See pics of imperfections below). When we were removing the front passenger fender I nicked the edge of door ..... It has been touched up so it's less noticeable. I'm not a Camaro scholar, this is my first old car. I'm trying to be as up front as possible. I'm anal about my cars and these are things some people wouldn't care about. Not me though. I recently noticed after I washed the car that the truck had a little water in it. After talking to a few people this is not uncommon. I haven't had the time to investigate further.. I never drive it if it's raining because I don't have to so it's not to big of an issue for me.
Type of Acceptable Payment: Bank Wire, Cash, or Cashiers Check from Bank that's in my area. I would prefer a Wire transfer.
Deposit: $500 Paypal deposit within 24 hours of sale
Pickup: Call me to schedule pickup after the auction is completed. I would like to close the deal within 10 days of auction close but will work with the buyer as much as possible. The car is in my garage and will stay there until it's picked up.
The car is for sale locally and will be driven occasionally. Ask me any questions and I will give you an honest and forthright answer. I can also take more pictures if needed. Thanks for looking!

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
First 2016 Chevy Volt commercial rocks us to sleep
Fri, Jan 30 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, with its thorough restyling and increased all-electric range, is an exciting evolution of Chevy's groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, so it's only fitting that the commercial campaign to sell it to the masses also be engaging and vibrant. Well, the first ad has just been officially released and it rocks... us to sleep. Now, we get that General Motors didn't want to repeat past Volt-commercial mistakes. No one wants to see dogs licking feet or dumb (and weirdly horny) aliens again. Nor would it be smart to slam all-electric vehicles, since it now sells the Spark EV and has just revealed its 200-mile Bolt concept. So, what does that leave? How about a mostly computer-generated spot that relies on cliche images and an upbeat synthetic soundtrack to communicate that the Volt is now as boring as other four-door appliances? An intro, featuring a lightly-bearded gentleman peering at his tablet through designer glasses launches us into the action as the Volt makes its way across a city bridge, then a curvaceous country road. Chevrolet doesn't include voiceover to inform you that the new Volt has a 50-mile battery-only range. There's no mention of its gas mileage once its electric charge is depleted – items that just might be of importance to hybrid buyers. The ad also makes no attempt at establishing an emotional connection, either through drama or comedy. There are, however, lots of fast cuts of the new, normalized interior, including a two-second detail shot featuring the windshield wiper switch. We imagine that this is only the first in a series of spots that will tell the Volt story and motivate potential buyers to run down to their local dealer, hopefully the next spots will be more interesting and informative.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
