Up for your consideration today is a two owner 1969 Camaro that was purchased by a friend of mine in the fall of '03. He purchased it from the original owner who bought it from Shapiro Chevrolet in North Adams, Mass. on November 19, 1968 for $3430.00. In her 35 years of ownership the car was garaged at her residence in North Adams. During this time period the car was driven 93,068 miles. On October 28, 2003 my friend purchased the car from her and drove it occasionally during the summer months for the next several years. The original engine and transmission were tired and he had them rebuilt during this time period. His engine builder scrapped the original small valve heads and used a fresh set of early nineties centerbolt swirl port heads and a 4 bbl aluminum dual plane intake. The original 2.73 rear end was swapped for a 3.07 and eventually sold. In the winter of 2010 he decided to restore the car in a Z/28 like fashion as a tribute car. This is when the car was painted and the remainder of the mechanicals were updated. At this point the car had approximately 95,800 miles.

The mechanical improvements include -

     Power front disk brakes
     Multi-leaf rear springs and gas shocks
     Dual exhaust with headers, "H" or crossover pipe, mild sounding mufflers and 1/4 exit tail pipes
     Cowl induction with solenoid activated flapper and complete air cleaner assembly
     Holley 670 vacuum secondary carb with no choke
     HEI ignition
     New radiator

The aesthetic improvements include -

   New Dupont base / clear paint with stripes added. I would consider it nice driver quality not a show finish.
     Cowl induction hood
     Z/28 & 302 Emblems
     15" Rally wheels with center caps and trim rings. 225/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial TA tires

The car currently has 96,401 miles. Less than 700 miles on restoration. I purchased the car in January of 2012 and put only a few miles on it in my neighborhood. Since I bought the car I have replaced the battery and voltage regulator. Overall the car is clean and presentable. The paint still looks fresh and has a nice deep shine. The interior is clean and shows little sign of wear. The engine compartment is neat and nicely detailed. If I were to be critical of the car I would have gapped the doors tighter to the rear quarters and brought the nose in a bit further.

Here are some of the specifics -

     VIN# 124379N513810 Early production 13,810 Camaro built at the Norwood plant.

     TRIM TAG reads as follows :

     ST 69 12437 NOR120482 BDY

     TH       716             53    B

           09D

53 is Glacier Blue. 716 is Deluxe Dark Blue Interior. 09D represents the production period 4th week September 1968.

The engine block casting number is 3932386 and is dated H 20 8 or August 20, 1968.
The front pad on the engine contains no data. I have tried to locate the vin on the rough cast area of the block near the oil filter but have not had any luck. I have the original intake manifold casting number 3927183 dated August 12, 1968 as well as the 2 bbl 2 Jet carb, distributor, coil, air cleaner and valve covers. They are all included, as well as the 14" Firestone biased ply spare.

The engine rebuild included being bored .030 over. Stock type pistons. Rebuilt 64cc swirl port heads. Blue Racer Cam with advertised duration of 284* 218 @ .050 with 110* lobe separation and gross lift of .450 on I and E. Stamped rocker arms. New oil pump, pick up and pan. Water and fuel pump are new as well.

The transmission is the original TH350 numbered Y9P26N.

The original 2.73 rear has been replaced with a 3.07 open 10 bolt.

The electricals are all in working order including the key buzzer and fuel gauge. -
     The lights are all operational low, high, directionals, parking lamps, markers, tails, interior courtesy lamps. etc.
   Wipers and washers function normally
   Horn is good and loud
     The AM radio is in the dash but doesn't work

The power steering functions as it should. Smooth and quite with no squeaks.

The brakes are very strong. I have never attempted to use the parking brake. Please assume that it does not work as these older GM's are somewhat notorious for the cable hanging up in the housing if they are not regularly used.

The car starts easily with a couple pumps of the accelerator. It is a bit cold blooded for a minute or two due to not having a choke. Once warmed up to operating temperature it runs well. It is a little soft down low but could likely be cleared up by a timing adjustment and carb tuning. It may also benefit from a smaller carb. The idle is strong and lopey while in gear. The transmission shifts are crisp.

Overall the car is mild mannered and street-able. It is geared to run comfortably on the highway. The exhaust note is relatively low and quite. It sounds good outside of the car with no drone or resonance inside. This combination of engine build, gearing etc. makes for a good daily driver that would probably be fairly efficient.

There is currently no kickdown cable. I will order one and include it with the sale. It will most likely not be installed by the time the car sells. This past weekend I replaced the aging rubber line that transitions the short fuel line from the tank to the primary line. While doing so I managed to fatigue the main line at the first clip that retains it to the frame rail. It is a minor leak that could probably be remedied by lengthening the rubber tubing to sleeve over it but I already have a 3/8" replacement line from In-Line tube that I had for another car. I will include the new line to make it right. The only other thing that I can think of is that one of the header collectors just touches the transmission crossmember. It creates a noise and vibration when the engine is cold at idle and also at a certain cruising rpm. This should be clearanced a little bit more to prevent the noise.

On a closing note this car is located in Pittsfield, Mass. 01201. The winning bidder is responsible for arranging pick up and all costs related to shipping. Please note that this vehicle is being sold with no warranty written, expressed or implied. A $500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of auctions end. The balance is due within 7 days. The title and vehicle will not be released until the funds clear and my bank says it is ok to do so. I hold a clear Mass title for the car.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American 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.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*

Tue, May 6 2014

Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.
