1969 Camaro, Base Coupe. This car underwent a frame off restoration in 2014, and was refreshed again in 2017.
Mechanicals:
A new 350 engine from GM Performance, base crate 5.7L with oil pain, water pump, spark plugs, HEI GM Distributor, and valve covers in 2014 (approx. 3,000 total miles on it).
An Edelbrock Performer Intake with a 1406 Edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor was added this May. Also this May, new Delco spark plugs, MSD wires (custom), and an A-Team HEI distributor was added. A new fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator and gauge was also added (Mr. Gasket), and the carburetor was tuned for lean operation and nets about 15mpg. All new gaskets (intake, valve covers, carburetor, and thermostat), fluids, fuel hoses, vacuum lines, and overflow container we also installed. Radiator was flushed and filled with Prestone 50/50, and a 160 degree Edelbrock thermostat was added. Finished with Edelbrock air cleaner, valve covers, and oil breather and new PCV. Chrome plugs and screws from ARP finished the install.
Hoses were routed clean and clutter free to appropriate vacuum ports, and the car was timed to 12+ with 32+ using vacuum advance.
TH350 (3 speed) transmission rebuilt in 2014, in May of 2017 was drained, new JEGS filter replaced, gasket, and refill with Valvoline Synthetic. A new stainless Lokar Kick-Down cable was also routed to the carburetor (smash the gas and she drops into passing gear). New vacuum lines to carburetor were also ran. The output shaft seal was also replaced.
The rear end 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. U joints were new in 2014. Rear disc brakes are in very good condition. Shocks were new in 2014 and leaf springs appear to be original to the car.
Engine oil was changed with Valvoline 10w30 full synthetic and a WIX performance filter.
Custom headers (clearanced for power steering box), ceramic coated silver in 2014. JEGS spark plug wire looms, Optima Marine Grade blue top battery, and direct draw Sylvania Silver Star headlights in crystal housings were added.
Brake booster and heat protected flex bend steel brake lines with extensions and proper fittings lead to 4 wheel disc brakes.
American Racing Torque Thrust staggered aluminum wheels with very good BF Goodrich Tires (about 2,000 miles on them).
Delco 2 wire modern alternator. Summit high torque starter, and an anti-theft (deadman) hidden switch.
New power steering pump and high ratio (quick turn) steering box.
I have the old intake, other parts, and Holley carburetor if wanted. Will be included if desired.
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 frame links by Global West (stiffens entire car).
Global West body bushings and subframe connector kit.
Car is aligned and track straight as an arrow.
Lower ball joint rubber needs to be replaced, but ball joints are in excellent shape.
Interior:
Front seats installed from a Chrysler Sebring (year estimated 2006). Headrests were removed and driver’s seat was mounted back for a tall man (can be put in factory mounts). The rear seat is original. 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 seat has 3 new GM lap belts. The leather is in good shape, and shows normal wear for 3 years of use. The car smells good inside. No smoke smells, stains, or even a french fry between the seats.
Classic Air Industries R-134A ac unit with heater core was added in 2014. The unit was inspected and blows cold and fast. The center vent is cracked. It isn’t terrible to look at, but can be replaced for less than $100 dollars.
New high loop black carpet installed in 2014 with front and rear door panels, headliner, and the majority of the rubber was replaced, (although some is original).
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’s 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 could use a refresh, it is original, but is functional and was painted black (to eliminate the wood grain). Glove box has a new insert, and ashtray/lighter are also new. Rear ashtray was glued shut (common fix for metal on metal rattles). It also needs a new dome light lense (also original).
New sunvisors with hardware installed last week.
Body:
New front clip sheet metal from AMD. Flat black painted Spoiler from AMD. All other metal appears original from the doors back. This car started life as a Glacier Blue V8 base coupe. 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. It looks very good for a 3 year old black paint job. It was recently hand clayed, polished, waxed, and sealed, and shines amazing. People ask if it’s a new paint job. It does show some fine wash marks in certain lights, but overall looks great.
The side glass is original. The front and rear windshields are new installs (glued not gaskets).

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
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.
China's rise, global restructuring wither GM's Korea division
Wed, Jan 7 2015An article in the Daily Kanban suggests the sun is setting on GM Korea, and it could already be well into dusk. GM Korea came about when General Motors, along with co-investors SAIC and Suzuki, bought Daewoo Motors from parent company Daewoo Group in 2001; it had a previous tie-up with GM, a joint venture that ended in 1992, although Daewoo cars were based on GM cars until 1996. Over the decade following the purchase, it became such an important part of operations that it was renamed GM Korea in 2011, "to reflect its heightened status in [the] global operations of GM." Just two years later, the printed rumors were that the subsidiary responsible for a fifth of Chevrolet's global production could be shutting down. The division's sales were down almost 21 percent through November of last year, counting domestic South Korean sales, exports, and CKD – Complete Knock Down – products. That makes the labor strife, already an issue for four years, even more acute, reports say the subsidiary will lose $36 million a year if it can't get the job and wage cuts it wants, and government concessions can't make up for the losses. And it gets worse, so head over to Daily Kanban to read the rest of the story.
