Hoses were routed and clutter free to appropriate vacuum ports, and the car was timed 12+ with 32+ using vacuum
advance.
TH350 ( 3 speed) transmission rebuilt in 2014, in May was drained, new JEGS filter replaced, gasket, and refill
with Valvoline Sythetic. A new stainless Lokar Kick-Down cable was also routed to the carburetor. New vacuum lines
to carburetor were also ran. The output shaft was also replaced.
Thé rear was drained,resealed, and refilled with Valvoline traditional 75w90 gear oil and GM Limited slip
additive. It is a 10 bold posi-traction unit, and is spun with an aluminum driveshaft. Rear disc brakes are in very
good condition.
Custom headers ( clearances for power steering Box), ceramic coated silver. JEGS spark plug wire looms, Optima
Marine Grade blue top battery, and direct draw Sylvania Silver Star heading in crystal housing were added

Delco 2 wire Torque thrust staggered aluminum wheels with very good BF Goodrich tires.
Delco 2 wire modern alternator. Summit high torque starter, and an anti-theft (deadman) hidden switch.
New power steering pump and high ratio (quick turns) steering box.
It has a true “X” pipe flowmaster exhaust from the headers back, over the axle, and dumped under the car. All
stainless and professionally hung.
Global West Suspension Upgrades:
Front upper and lower tubular control arms with coil over shocks (not adjustable)
Subframe to rear links by Global west (stiffens entire
Global west body bushing and subframe connector kit.
Interior:
Headrest were removed and driver’s seat was mounted back for a tall man (can be put in factory mounts). The rear
seat is orignal. Front and rear seats were wrapped in charcoal leather (not vinyl), and sewn/seamed to match the
1969 style. The front seats have integrated 3 point seatbelts. The rear has 3 new GM lap belts. The leather is in
good shape, and shows normal wear fro 3 years of use. The car smells good inside.
Classic Air Industries R-134A ac unit with heater core was added. The unit was inspected and blows cold and fast.
New high loop black carpet installed with front and rear door panels,headliner, and majority of the rubber was
replaced, (although some is orignal)
Painless wiring fuse block (modern) and flashers were installed with all new wiring from the front to the rear of
the car.
Retro Sound AM/FM/AUX stereo with Kicker speakers and crossovers give plenty of sound from the rear deck. There are
no front speakers. It is not my place to cut holes in kick panels or doors. The sound system is plenty good. The
antenna is hidden under the dash board and no external antenna is present.
All dashboard indicators work,turn signals,high beams, and HVAC also work flawlessly.
Center console is original, but is functional and painted black (to eliminate the wood drain). Glove box has a new
insert, and ashtray/lighter are also new. Rear ashtray was glued shut ( common fix for metal or metal rattles). It
also needs a new dome light lens (also original).
Body:
New front clip sheet metal from AMD. Flat painted Spoiler from AMD. All other metal appears original from the doors
back. The car was blasted, body worked, block sanded, and coated in red sealer and topped with GM tuxedo Black 3
times and a single coat of PPG clear. The car was wet sanded and buffed.
Thé side glass is original. The front rear windshield are new installs (glued not gasket).
There are a few flaws in the paint, they are all very minor in my option:
Passenger front fender: A rock from the freeway landed in the middle top of the fender. The metal is not dinged,
but it did take off to the primer. It was filled with touch up paint, and looks acceptable. It was lightly color
sanded and buffed, and cloud use another pass.
Thé driver’s door has a revers ding above the handle. The car was slim-jammed after keys were locked in by a bad
tow man. The ding can be removed, but the entire interior panel shells are covered in sound deadening materials and
is very labor intensive to remove.
There are some paint chips from normal use on the car, but they are very inconspicuous.
The floor pan had a layer of undercoating applied, and new drain plugs installed. Everything under the car appears
correct and true, as does the subframe, cables, cross members, mounts, and cables.
As mentioned before, the interior had sound deadening materials placed from the front to the rear, floor to the
roof. It is a generic “Dynamat“, but just as thick.
The trunk pan is original, and was re-painted upon restoration with gray splatter style fleck.
All emblem holes were welded and filled. The front nose Camaro emblem was powder coated black. All chrome trim was
painted black (bumpers, window molding, hard ware). All stainless trim was brushed stainless (grill and window
channels). The rain gutters were painted black. All new corner light with black bezels. Original rear tail lights.
Door handles were painted black, as well as the side view mirrors.
The body gaps are very clean, the doors,trunk, and hood close with one swing.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
