1968 Camaro VIN 124378N463246

3rd owner car originally bought from the famous Brigance Chevrolet in Chicago, Ill.
49,950 documented miles. All oil change stickers with recorded dates and mileage. Both sets of original keys. Second owner (daughter of original owner) copy of title and original State of Illinois DMV envelope from 1978. Original 1968 window sticker, not a copy, preserved in plastic envelope. Vehicle retains its numbers matching original drive train down to the smog pump and carburetor tag. Original interior is superb.

About 50% of the car is in its original Rallye Green paint (5900JJ). Options were the 5F41C special purpose front and rear suspension, 5221AC style trim group, 5D96AA accent white striping (both side pin striping and bumble bee stripe), 5U35AA electric clock, 5B93AA door edge guards, 5A01AA tinted glass and 5U63AB AM radio.

Code LF7/M15 vehicle retains the original 327, 2 barrel, 210 hp engine with 3 speed manual transmission – shift on the column. Original 10 bolt, 3.08:1 rear. Manual steering along with manual drum brakes. Original interior except for new carpet. Vehicle was fully insulated with heat shield at time of installing GM licensed carpet kit. All windows, door locks and electrics operate including original clock and radio. All original Soft Ray glass is exceptionally good along with trim and rubber bumpers. All vent doors operate; kick panels and round dash vents. All 5 seat belts and harnesses operate and headliner and sun visors are in excellent condition. Original dash pad is in mint condition. Original jack and one original Uniroyal tire for the spare.

Spark plugs were changed in 1979 (46,610 miles) and 2nd title 2006 shows 48,371 miles.
Currently, the odometer displays 49,948 miles here in 2014 (just over 3000 miles in the past 35 years). I have the oil change and spark plug change tags along with title copies that document the mileage.

Car was made roadworthy by several new parts and removal of any rust. Body is in exceptional condition along with all mechanicals. New aluminized factory style exhaust. New are leaf springs, rear sub frame rails and bushings, stainless steel factory brake lines, brake components and drums. New floor pans and trunk pan along with gas tank and fuel lines. Rear outer wheelhouses along with trunk drop offs were replaced new and any lower quarter rust removed and replaced with new steel cut from new quarter panels. A reputable mechanic shop in Illinois installed a new stock cam and lifter set, timing chain and oil pump only 1,600 miles ago. This car had set in a garage with a tarp over the vehicle after the passing of the original owner from about 1981 to 2008, hence the floor replacement and mechanical work. New heater core installed and all cable controls and fan operate smoothly. The fenders have never been off the car.

I received a packet of documentation that contains over $6,400 worth of parts and labor receipts along with a disc of photos showing the progress of floor and sub frame rail replacement. I also made photos of all outside rust repairs and insulation. With only minor rust under the battery tray, this car can easily be fully painted for the first time and be a great car with the rare ‘three on the tree’ and 327 V8. This time capsule starts every time, drives and stops nicely, a joy to drive.

Weekly Recap: GM plans massive new paint shop at Chevy Corvette factory

Sat, May 23 2015

General Motors is laying out some serious green to maintain the Chevy Corvette's expansive color palette. The automaker is breaking ground on a new paint shop this summer that's part of a $439-million investment to upgrade the 34-year-old Bowling Green, KY, factory that builds the Stingray. The massive new structure will total 450,000 square feet, nearly half the size of the current 1-million square-foot facility. Construction is expected to take two years and won't impact Corvette production. The upgrades include new robots that save paint and create a better finish, longer, more efficient ovens to bake in the finish, and LED lighting. There's also a dry scrubbing booth technology with a limestone handling system that eliminates waste. GM has invested $135 million in the factory in last four years for the changeover to build the C7 and to relocate its Performance Build Center to Bowling Green. The improvements continue to modernize the Kentucky factory, which has become a tourist attraction in its own right, as more than 56,000 enthusiasts visited it last year. The upgrades are part of a $5.4-billion investment GM confirmed in April that will remake its US footprint in the next three years. The Bowling Green expansion underscores GM's continued commitment to the Corvette, which sold nearly 38,000 copies around the world last year, an eight-year high. "With this major technology investment, we can continue to exceed the expectations of sports car buyers for years to come," North American manufacturing manager Arvin Jones said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Takata recall hits 34 million vehicles The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expanded the Takata airbag recall to an almost unthinkable 34 million vehicles on Tuesday. The recall is part of an agreement reached by the two sides where Takata admitted some of its airbag inflators have a defect, and the deal compels the company to comply with all future regulatory actions and investigations. Takata's airbag inflators were produced with "a propellant that can degrade over time" and lead to ruptures, NHTSA said. Six deaths have been attributed to the flaw worldwide. Investigations conducted by Takata, automakers, and others have not determined the exact cause of the inflator problem, but NHTSA said moisture appears to alter the propellant's chemical structure. It then ignites too rapidly, creates too much pressure that ruptures the inflator, and blasts shards of metal at passengers.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021. 

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
