My story on this car is ridiculously long, but I'll try to shorten it a bit. I bought the car out of New Jersey, it was last titled in 1973, was wrecked then, and left to sit in the bush and be picked over for parts. The body was in surprisingly good shape, other than the roof and upper cowl. I installed a new roof, upper cowl, upper dash, tail pan, and bought new sheet metal for the front. I repaired minor pin holes in the floor and trunk, but most is original sheet metal. The quarter panels were solid, but had been dented and then repaired with bondo. I soda blasted the entire car, and roughly dollied out the quarters, they still need some work to finish straightening, but I figured it would be better than Taiwan quarters. I bought good used RS inner fenders which are already finished in the proper matte black, and a California subframe which I've just freshly powder coated. I have new front fenders and cowl hood. I have purchased a ridiculous amount of parts for the car, because I planned on building show quality. I have a complete RS headlamp system, NOS RS grille and mldg, NOS rear spoiler, new tilt steering column, new centre console, complete new deluxe interior including black houndstooth seat material which I've already installed, restored instrument panel, complete new wiring harnesses, door handles, mirrors, emblems, lamps, steering wheel, good used tinted side glass, all told over $17000 in parts at today's prices. Most parts were purchased at Rick's Camaro (Eckler's), and most new. I have a set of 14" rally wheels as well as a set of American Racing Stics 5 15x8 wheels (look like Torq Thrusts). I had a 454 and a Muncie, but they have already been sold as they did not match the car. You will still need to purchase a motor, transmission, exhaust, windshield, back glass, seat belts, and some other small parts, but 90% of what you need I have. I have a 12 bolt posi rear with multi leaf springs, 4 spd trans crossmember, driveshaft, and used front disc brake setup, as well as the old original drum brakes should you decide that's what you want. I have the proper stamping numbered distributor, alternator, and a couple of pulleys. I also have a good used front bumper, and a new aftermarket (US made, not China) rear bumper. Lots of restoration manuals, and templates for placing antenna, stripes, rear spoiler, back up lamps, emblems, etc.

The car was originally a Butternut Yellow (less than 1% of 69's were painted Butternut before switching to Daytona Yellow, which makes it much more rare), with black vinyl top, RS and SS packages, 4 spd, 12 bolt, and a black standard interior. The only change I was going to make from original was the black deluxe houndstooth. I bought the car from the original owner so I know it is what I've said, but as it's a US car unfortunately I can't offer any more proof. I do have a copy of the original New York title, last registered in 1973.

I realize the price will scare some away, but that's ok, I don't have to sell it. Before all the self proclaimed "experts" offer their 2 cents, please realize.....

A new aftermarket body tub will cost you $16000

You would then need to find an ownership / title, or register the car as a current model year, and at that point it is worth nothing to 69 Camaro buyers.

You would need front sheet metal: approx $1000

Rear axle: $1200

Subframe $1000

Interior $3000

About $10000 in small parts, which I've already purchased.

At that point you would have spent about $32000 to be at the point I'm at now, (not to mention whatever your donor title car cost you), and you'd still have an aftermarket tub worth half what the real thing is!

I have offered a buy it now option, but feel free to make me a reasonable offer as well.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally.

Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I can deliver in Southern Ontario or to any of the Ontario / US border (Canadian side) for an additional fee.

The photos show some of the wrinkles still remaining in the rear quarters, everything on the shelf is for the car, the pic of small parts is just one tote, there are four more just like it!

Over $15000 in parts, never mind the car itself.

I can email a detailed list of all the parts, but I am unable to attach it to the listing, please ask if you'd like to see it.

At my best guess, you're probably looking at another $15000 to finish this car to show quality, but you should have $65000 piece when you're done.

To put it simply, those that know what it takes to build one of these cars will realize what's here, those that don't or can't afford it, please just move on, this one is not for you!

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012

Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
