This 1968 Camaro Sport Coupe started life the 3rd week of April 1968 as a Sport Coupe with black bucket seats, standard shift, with the  Rare Option (ONE YEAR ONLY) Factory Special Color 00 Corvette Bronze, Option C08 black vinyl roof, Option Z21 style trim. Through the years, Corvette Bronze lost its original motor, went through a color change (Tuxedo Black), and after 26 years, in 1994 Corvette Bronze started its restoration. I purchased Corvette Bronze in 2002  a  11 years ago, for $15,000 wow.  Today that would be $30,000. The restoration was a work in progress. Corvette Bronze had all new professionally installed steel GM front clip, all new professionally installed steel rear half quarter panels, the wheel wells were never cut-up to keep Corvette Bronze stock and  original.

Has all Original Floors and Trunk, NO RUST, has Original all steel trunk lid that opens with original key as it should. Has all Original Wiring, was not hacked up, has original dash, plate cover hides radio, heat air controls, ash tray. I have original heat air controls. Standard transmission was replaced with a Turbo 400. But still has original clutch pedal still in car. Had a 12 Bolt Rear with 4:88’s.

The original 327 was replaced with a 355 small block. Has NEW SS grill, NEW chrome bumpers, NEW carpet, NEW door panels, front and rear, NEW arm rest pads. As a car collector, I know you buy CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION. That’s why I spent $15,000, a 11 years ago. I did not want a rust bucket to start my next project. I wanted to replace the small block  with a BIG BLOCK. Small block  are always second to Big Blocks. Ask any ’67 Corvette owner. I did not want a restored,original, antiqued, SLOW, BAD brakes, Trailer Queen.

      I took the Camaro to “BILLS  CUSTOM AUTO” in Hollywood, Fla. (954) 826- 4451 to UPDATE the Camaro to drive on the street, go to Happy Days, drive to and enter in  car shows. I had pro touring in mind but the Camaro was too original and in excellent condition. The small block was the first to go. Big Block, L-78 396-375, L-89 396-375, aluminum heads, Baldwin Motion 427-425. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. I told Bills Custom Auto I wanted a REAL Big Block. Keep the Camaro stock looking and eat for breakfast the ZL1 Corvette, Porsche, Viper, Ferrari, Shelby’s and the list goes on. To do that a 496 cu. In. Nitrous 225 HP Big Shot, Aluminum Heads, a Crane 713 Roller Lift Cam, Crane Roller Rockers, MSD Distributor, MSD wires, MSD ignition box, High Flow Aluminum  Radiator, Electric fan, Electric water pump, a 1050 Holley Dominator Carburetor, NEW fuel cell, NEW dual fuel filters, NEW dual fuel pumps, all NEW stainless steel braided fuel lines, NEW fuel gauges, and THE LIST OF NEW GOES ON. No expense was spared. The BEST OF THE BEST. The 488’s were replaced with NEW 4:10 gears to make the Camaro more streetable, NEW Aluminum housing cover,NEW large front & rear wheel studs. NEW springs, frame connectors. I knew with a blistering 496 Nitrous motor I needed to stop.

New all 4 wheels, Air Hart Aluminum  Disc brakes, Drilled Rotors, High Performance Master Cylinder.

New M/T front tires

New M/T street drag radicals

Original front suspension overhauled

      TRANSMISSION, 4 speeds are nice but at my age, non-smoker, adult owned, I don’t want to miss gears. The Turbo 400 is FRESH, NEW TCI Converter, B+M deep pan, Trans brake.

    The interior in the Camaro is ORIGINAL & Stock except for NEW Racing Bucket Seats. NHRA approved roll cage, B+M Shifter, steering wheel, original dash is all there, windows work as they should, original backseat, head liner, interior lite, ALL STOCK & ORIGINAL. the original interior only needs to be totally original is bucket seats, console and shifter, thats it!

The Camaro has FACTORY wiring with NEW Quick Dis-Connects in engine compartment (see pictures)

When I purchased the Camaro the body was in excellent condition.  Panel gaps are excellent; I still want to buy a Ferrari when the prices come down. So the Camaro is painted a beautiful, show quality FERRARI RED, PAINTED NOT DECALS SINISTER looking Rally Stripes, a lift off glass hood, the paint has a MIRROR FINISH. More wax than miles. So you’ll be proud to show it.

    The restoration has moved beyond factory stock and into the realm of a high end retro mod. The clean look of this early Camaro is popular for a very good reason. It simply looks AWESOME.  For performance  its hard to beat, this 496 cu.in. BIG BLOCK in a light weight F- Body. This BIG BLOCK Ferrari Red Camaro was built for speed, and like the rest of the car, takes no prisoners! BRUTALLY FAST CARS LIKE THESE ATTRACT ALL THE ATTENTION AT FRIDAY NIGHT CRUISE NIGHTS AND DOMINATE THE DRAG STRIP ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The Camaro starts and idles like a 2014 ZL1 Camaro. And best of all, it remains in ready-to-race condition. If you are a race fan, a Camaro enthusiast, OR BOTH, this is a once in a lifetime car. There is only one of these and you can bet the winning bidder will probably not be interested in selling for a LONG, LONG TIME. BID NOW!!! NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!! TURN KEY – NEEDS NOTHING!! DRIVE ANYWHERE!! EVERYTHING IS FRESH, DRIVEN LESS THAN 50 MILES.

    i am a private seller, ebay only allows me 24 pictures. i have more pictures, under carriage, motor, interior, exterior, trunk.

GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales

Tue, Apr 3 2018

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US

GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one

Thu, Feb 25 2016

A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
