Z10 Camaro Although they frequently are identified as “pace car coupes,” the 1969 Camaro Z10s are not merely hardtop versions of the popular Indy pace car replicas. The truth is, they’re even more rare (between 100 and 200 were built), and were built for a very limited region in the southwest US (although one was sold new in Tennessee). They did, of course, receive the same Dover White paint job featuring Hugger Orange stripes, and even the SS396 cars like this one here, used a matching white tail panel in place of the big block’s usual blacked-out piece. With a high-quality restoration and a cowl tag that has never been removed, this is a real-deal Z10 car, and is one of the rarest of all 1969 Camaro’s ever produced. All Z10 coupes were painted code 50 Dover White with Hugger Orange stripes with matching white rocker panels. They also all came standard with the D80 spoilers, ZJ7 rally wheels, ZL2 cowl induction hood, Z22 Rally Sport package, and Z27 Super Sport package. All Z10’s built in the Norwood Plant received the Z10 stamp on their cowl tags, making them some of the easiest Camaro’s to document. This has always been a solid, clean car. It has received a “frame off” 4 year restoration. Recently the engine and engine bay has been freshened up with period correct components including a rebuilt numbers matching Rochester Quadrajet carburetor and looks outstanding. The Z10s received all the usual Camaro trim; however, this particular model received a special order endura front bumper and limited production chambered exhaust. (Many States banned this option in mid 1969 due to the loud exhaust). All Z10s were also RS/SS cars, so this one carries a correct SS grille with working vacuum actuated hidden RS headlights, the special white rocker panels, and even the Hugger Orange pin stripes that delineate front and rear fender lines, a detail that many restorations leave out. The stainless on this car has been polished, and it carries the optional gill inserts ahead of the rear wheels. A vast majority of the Z10s were small block cars, however this model is equipped with a period correct L34 350 horsepower 396 cubic inch engine. While the standard transmission was a 3-speed manual, any option you could get on a regular Camaro was available on the Z10s, and as a result this one sports a period correct M21 4-speed manual driving a heavy duty 12-bolt posi rear end. The chassis is nicely finished, with satin black floors and rebuilt stock suspensions fore and aft, including correct reproduction spiral shocks front and back. A new gas tank and reproduction chambered exhaust have been also recently installed. For years, nobody believed that the Z10s even existed. They’d show up now and again, but most people—even experts—simply assumed someone had built it themselves after seeing a pace car and being inspired. With a little digging, evidence started to emerge and now these cars are reliably documented. This Car is included in the Z10 Registry which lists about 70 cars. There’s no question that they’re uncommon, and are among the rarest of all 69 Camaros. Clones are fairly common. This one is unquestionably the real deal and it has been beautifully restored to highly accurate condition. The glove box carries the signature of Mario Andretti the winner of the 1969 Indianapolis 500. I will let the photos tell the rest!This vehicle is not perfect but extremely well done.As with any vehicle of this age it is sold as is with no warranties implied or offered.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

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.
