1969 Camaro, Base Coupe. This car underwent a frame off restoration in 2014, and was refreshed again in 2017.
Mechanicals:
A new 350 engine from GM Performance, base crate 5.7L with oil pain, water pump, spark plugs, HEI GM Distributor, and valve covers in 2014 (approx. 3,000 total miles on it).
An Edelbrock Performer Intake with a 1406 Edelbrock 600 cfm carburetor was added this May. Also this May, new Delco spark plugs, MSD wires (custom), and an A-Team HEI distributor was added. A new fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator and gauge was also added (Mr. Gasket), and the carburetor was tuned for lean operation and nets about 15mpg. All new gaskets (intake, valve covers, carburetor, and thermostat), fluids, fuel hoses, vacuum lines, and overflow container we also installed. Radiator was flushed and filled with Prestone 50/50, and a 160 degree Edelbrock thermostat was added. Finished with Edelbrock air cleaner, valve covers, and oil breather and new PCV. Chrome plugs and screws from ARP finished the install.
Hoses were routed clean and clutter free to appropriate vacuum ports, and the car was timed to 12+ with 32+ using vacuum advance.
TH350 (3 speed) transmission rebuilt in 2014, in May of 2017 was drained, new JEGS filter replaced, gasket, and refill with Valvoline Synthetic. A new stainless Lokar Kick-Down cable was also routed to the carburetor (smash the gas and she drops into passing gear). New vacuum lines to carburetor were also ran. The output shaft seal was also replaced.
The rear end was drained, resealed, and refilled with Valvoline traditional 75w90 gear oil and GM Limited slip additive. It is a 10 bold posi-traction unit, and is spun with an aluminum driveshaft. U joints were new in 2014. Rear disc brakes are in very good condition. Shocks were new in 2014 and leaf springs appear to be original to the car.
Engine oil was changed with Valvoline 10w30 full synthetic and a WIX performance filter.
Custom headers (clearanced for power steering box), ceramic coated silver in 2014. JEGS spark plug wire looms, Optima Marine Grade blue top battery, and direct draw Sylvania Silver Star headlights in crystal housings were added.
Brake booster and heat protected flex bend steel brake lines with extensions and proper fittings lead to 4 wheel disc brakes.
American Racing Torque Thrust staggered aluminum wheels with very good BF Goodrich Tires (about 2,000 miles on them).
Delco 2 wire modern alternator. Summit high torque starter, and an anti-theft (deadman) hidden switch.
New power steering pump and high ratio (quick turn) steering box.
I have the old intake, other parts, and Holley carburetor if wanted. Will be included if desired.
It has a true “X” pipe flowmaster exhaust from the headers back, over the axle, and dumped under the car. All stainless and professionally hung.
Global West Suspension Upgrades:
Front upper and lower tubular control arms with coil over shocks (not adjustable).
Subframe to rear frame links by Global West (stiffens entire car).
Global West body bushings and subframe connector kit.
Car is aligned and track straight as an arrow.
Lower ball joint rubber needs to be replaced, but ball joints are in excellent shape.
Interior:
Front seats installed from a Chrysler Sebring (year estimated 2006). Headrests were removed and driver’s seat was mounted back for a tall man (can be put in factory mounts). The rear seat is original. Front and rear seats were wrapped in charcoal leather (not vinyl), and sewn/seamed to match the 1969 style. The front seats have integrated 3 point seatbelts. The rear seat has 3 new GM lap belts. The leather is in good shape, and shows normal wear for 3 years of use. The car smells good inside. No smoke smells, stains, or even a french fry between the seats.
Classic Air Industries R-134A ac unit with heater core was added in 2014. The unit was inspected and blows cold and fast. The center vent is cracked. It isn’t terrible to look at, but can be replaced for less than $100 dollars.
New high loop black carpet installed in 2014 with front and rear door panels, headliner, and the majority of the rubber was replaced, (although some is original).
Painless wiring fuse block (modern) and flashers were installed with all new wiring from the front to the rear of the car.
Retro Sound AM/FM/AUX stereo with Kicker speakers and crossovers give plenty of sound from the rear deck. There are no front speakers. It’s not my place to cut holes in kick panels or doors. The sound system is plenty good. The antenna is hidden under the dash board and no external antenna is present.
All dashboard indicators work, turn signals, high beams, and HVAC also work flawlessly.
Center console could use a refresh, it is original, but is functional and was painted black (to eliminate the wood grain). Glove box has a new insert, and ashtray/lighter are also new. Rear ashtray was glued shut (common fix for metal on metal rattles). It also needs a new dome light lense (also original).
New sunvisors with hardware installed last week.
Body:
New front clip sheet metal from AMD. Flat black painted Spoiler from AMD. All other metal appears original from the doors back. This car started life as a Glacier Blue V8 base coupe. The car was blasted, body worked, block sanded, and coated in red sealer and topped with GM Tuxedo Black 3 times and a single coat of PPG Clear. The car was wet sanded and buffed. It looks very good for a 3 year old black paint job. It was recently hand clayed, polished, waxed, and sealed, and shines amazing. People ask if it’s a new paint job. It does show some fine wash marks in certain lights, but overall looks great.
The side glass is original. The front and rear windshields are new installs (glued not gaskets).

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
