I am selling my 1967 Chevy Camaro SS. The body and interrior are in the same condition as the day I bought the car in 1999. The previous owner did have some restoration work done but exactly what was done I don't know. I can tell that the rear quarter pannels were replaced at some point and the car was repainted.
There are some chips in the paint on the front nose and the passenger door so it could use a new paint job. Also, there is a spot near the antenna where the paint has lifted (probably a little rust below) but the area has never spread since I have owned the car. I have noticed some superficial rust below the trunk floormat but all of the sheet metal is solid. The body and subframe is in good shape considering the age of the car but one or two body mounts may need a little tending to. The fiberglass hood also has a crack in it and the hide-away headlight doors don't work. The interrior is in great shape except the instrument panel has a couple of cracks in it where it screws to the dash board. Note that there are NO aftermarket gauges or tachometers butchered to the dash or held onto the steering column with some plumbing hose clamp. Some of the stitching in the front passenger seat has failed but it could most likely be fixed easily. Also, the speedometer cable broke about a year ago. This car passed inspection when registered in Connecticut with no issue and its condition has not changed or deteriorated since then. I have never driven it in bad weather or in the winter. These are all of the problems with the car that I have noticed. The car otherwise presents itself very well in my opinion. It is a very straight car without dents.
The engine and transmission have been changed and are therefore not original components.
Engine:
350 smallblock with about 11:1 compression ratio, (runs good on 93 octane gas but loves 94 or higher)
Ported and polished heads with triple angle valve job, fairly radical hydraulic lifter cam with 3,500 to about 6,000 rpm powerband (engine idles rough but drives great as a street car)
Intake manifold is a victor jr single plenum, Carburetor is an 830cfm double pumper holley w/anular discharge venturies. Electronic MSD distributor.
Exhaust:
Nothing really special here, your typical dual exhaust system with headers. It does however have a set of gate valves that can be opened under the car to bypass the mufflers but the valves do need new handles.
Transmission:
turbo 350 rebuilt with a shift kit installed. Transmission leaks a small amount of fluid if the car sits (a few drips will appear on the ground from time to time but the leak is so minimal that I never found it to be a priority to fix) A rather expensive Gear Vendor underdrive/overdrive unit is coupled to the transmission tailshaft effectively giving you 6 gears to shift through if desired.
Rearend:
I installed an auburn gear limited slip differential with 3:73 gears in the original rearend housing. When you engage the overdrive unit on the transmission, the car acts as if it has 2:73 gears which is great for the highway.
Brakes:
Aftermarket power front disc brakes with an adjustable proportioning valve for the factory rear drum brakes.
Other:
A 94 amp alternator w/electronic regulator, 3 core radiator, AM FM casette radio
Warantee info:
This automobile is being sold AS IS with no warantee of any kind.
Payment:
If you are the winning bidder I expect you to pay for the vehicle within 7 days of the auction ending or it will be relisted. Payment must be in the form of a certified check. I must receive the check before I will allow you to take possession of the vehicle.
Shipping:
You are responsible to arrange for pick up and shipping of vehicle. The car is at a residential address and is not currently registered. That means your shipper needs to have the ability to pick up the vehicle at a residential address.
On Aug-17-13 at 08:37:06 PDT, seller added the following information:
One thing I forgot to mention, The Camaro won't be available for pickup by the winning bidder until August 29. This is due to a scheduling error on my part. I apologize to the auction winner in advance.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
