1968 Camaro / 92' 350CI LT-1 / 700R4 / Vintage AC
Started life as a base, 6-cylinder car.
Purchased car originally in August, 2011 for my wife to use occasionally, and to use recreationally with our kids. The car was restored when we purchased it and seller showed $50K+ in build receipts. We're now selling to help fund some business-related expenses.
Motor is a 350CI LT1 from a '92 Corvette, along with 700R4 transmission. Rear end is 10-bolt, non-posi. Power brakes (front disk, rear drum).
Started having problems with overheating problems that we couldn't easily nail down, so just to know exactly what I was starting with, I ended up having the motor completely gone through top to bottom. Machine work was done by Motor Machine in Sacramento, and disassembly / assembly was done by Gearhead Garage in Sacramento ("Car Warriors" season 1 winners).
On motor rebuild, we didn't deviate too much from stock engineering, but did the things that made sense like upgraded valve train, cam, and added headers. Parts and labor cost for motor work alone was around $8K.
Approximately 600 miles put on since the motor rebuild.
Since the car is fuel injected and the motor is essentially new, it starts and drives similar to a new car. Starts right up, temp gauge sits between 190 and 195 even on hot days in the middle of stop-and-go traffic with AC on. Drives very straight down the freeway, and can be driven for long distances without being worried about mechanical or overheating problems.
Everything works on the car, e.g. lights, horn, speedo (new), all other gauges (new), wipers, etc.
The paint is almost flawless (I say "almost" because it's hard to find a car that's ever been driven, that's perfect). No chips or dings anywhere, with the exception of normal pinhead sized marks above chin spoiler, beneath front bumper that are only visible from super close inspection, and come with normal driving.
Paint is professionally detailed (clayed, polished, waxed, glazed) - No disapointments.
In addition to motor work, I've made improvements to make it more fun and functional, or just plain look better. Since I prefer a stock-looking appearance, the changes made were done to keep it in that direction. Here's a list of other things done after we bought it:
-New console with horse-shoe shifter (year correct). Installed by Gearhead Garage (correctly installed with functioning neutral safety switch)
-Classic Instruments gauge cluster (no longer have original gauges). Installed by Gearhead Garage.
-Corvette-style leather steering wheel (have original steering wheel, which will also be included). Also replaced internal turn signal cam that tends to break due to plastic material and OE design.
-Billet Specialties pedals (gas, brake, emergency brake, high beam. New pedals replaced incorrect pedals, which were discarded)
-Alpine head unit (Bluetooth, MP3). Polk Audio speakers were installed by previous owner - just needed a better head unit.
-New front bumper (replaced due to scratches on the existing bumper. Buyer can also have the old bumper if they want it.)
-New chin spoiler (didn't have a chin spoiler on it when purchased)
-Color-keyed floor mats
-New armrest pads
-Driver's side window regulator (to fix squeaking noise).
There are some discretionary things left on the car to make it perfect. Here's a list:
-The back wheels on the car are not the correct offset. They require spacers to keep from rubbing a bit with people in the back seat. This isn't an issue for us due our our style of use, but would be if people were regularly carried in back seat. Either wheels would need to be replaced, or suspension would need to be stiffened.
-The AC works and blows cold, but the compressor has started to show signs that it needs to be replaced (vibrating). Also, the Vintage AC system functions as designed, but for a system that works more like new (upper / lower blending), it would need to be converted to a more recent under-dash unit and new controller.
-Related, the front right kick panel wasn't replaced when previous seller installed A/C, and has a non-functioning (blocked) vent, which is why in the photo you can see the vent handle is removed. The correct kick panel can easily be installed to make correct with AC.
-Interior shows well, but front seats appear to be from a Gen-2 Camaro. Closer inspection will show scratches on the seat backs and the back of head rests. One of the seat back levers is missing, which I never replaced due to the fact we were originally intending to replace with correct '68 seats / covers.
-The rear bumper shows well, but may be original and does show some scratches in chrome. I didn't replace since it wasn't bad enough, but the new front bumper shows a little better if you're really discriminating.
-Some of the trim is slightly dented or wasn't installed with precise care. Most notably, the drip rail trim on the drivers side could be improved. Not a high-cost item, but something I would have replaced if I would have worked my way completely through the list.
Please respond with any questions - I'll respond as promptly and as thoroughly as I can.
No warranties expressed or implied.
Thanks for looking!

General Motors CEO Provides Few Details In Appearance Before Congress
Wed, Apr 2 2014It was only two months ago that Mary Barra, freshly crowned as the new General Motors chief executive officer, visited Washington DC as an esteemed guest of First Lady Michelle Obama for the State of the Union address. On Tuesday, Barra returned to the Capitol under more strained circumstances. For more than two contentious hours, she took questions from members of a House of Representatives subcommittee investigating General Motors years-long delay in initiating a recall of millions of vehicles that contained a defect that has killed at least 13 people. Why did GM accept faulty ignition switches that were below the company's set specfications? Why did GM learn about the problem in 2001 yet take no action until 2014? Will GM compensate victims' families even though the company's bankruptcy may limit its liability? Those were a few of the questions members of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee asked. Few concrete answers were forthcoming. For her part, Barra sidestepped most of the questions, saying she wouldn't have information needed to answer them until an internal review is completed. David Friedman, the administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, testified after Barra. The biggest news that emerged from the hearing was that General Motors has retained attorney Kenneth Feinberg to advise the company on its civil and legal responsibilities. He has made a career of resolving disputes and serving in a 'fixer' role, serving as the chief of the federal government's September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, as an administrator of compensation fund for victims of the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster and a similar fund for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. Barra, who has been GM's CEO since January but been with the company since 1980, expects to meet with Feinberg on Friday, and have a concrete plan within the next 30-60 days. Yet Barra would not say for certain Tuesday that GM would compensate the victims at all. Despite repeated questions from Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.), Barra did not outline the company's intentions. "I assume GM is hiring (Feinberg) to help identify the size of claims and then compensate the victims? Is that right," DeGette asked. "Is GM willing to put together some kind of a compensation fund for these victims that Mr. Feinberg will then administer?" "We've hired him to help assess the situation," Barra replied. "So really, there's no money involved at this point," DeGette asked.
NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada
Sat, May 9 2015Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.
