I purchased this 1969 camaro convertible in 1995. At the time it had non matching numbers as it still does, but was in driveable condition. As I drove it over the next 3 and a half years I was steady buying parts for its refurbishment, including orginal chevy body panels as well as many other OEM parts. In the spring of 1999 my best friend and I began the frame off restoration. Between us we have slightly over 80 years of mechanical experience and are both certified first class mechanics as well as state safety inspectors. Restoration was completed in late 2001. Many parts have been replaced and up-grades made since that time. The engine and transmission were replaced by GM crate products 12 hundred miles ago. Many others parts such as the complete clutch assembly, intake manifold, carb, and distributor were also replaced or up-graded at that time.This 69 camaro convertible is a very clean well preserved restoration and is in excellent mechanical condition. Since being restored it has been driven very little and has always been garage kept and covered which helps explain its very good body condition. The black paint is so glossy that many ladies over the years have commented that they can do their hair and makeup from their reflection off the body panels. Keep in mind that this is a twelve year old paint job with a few small scraches and chips. Upon close inspection there are only a few and this is from normal driving conditions.This Camaro performs and handles very well. Most heads turn as you pass by. It has disc brakes on the front and drum on the rear. The factory cowl induction air system works flawlessly. This Camaro has factory in dash tach and console instrument cluster. The entire interior is in excellent condition. The Kenwood am/fm cassette player is made especially for 69 Camaros, as the knobs match the other dash components indicate. The cd juke box is available from Classic Camaro where the stereo was purchased. The four speaker system, dash and doors, produces plenty of sound at highway speeds with the top down. The California Turbo mufflers sound great, but keep engine noise down at low speeds so you don't offend neighbors when coming and going. The engine compartment has lots of chrome and no puddles or spots on the floor below it. No short cuts or cut corners were ever taken in any of the maintenance or restoration work done, which I feel in part is why the car looks, sounds, and performs very much like a new one would. This Camaro while still a used car is extremely reliable and could be driven anywhere.
The following is a list of the factory options: 4 speed manual transmission, console instrument cluster, multi leaf rear springs, factory tach in dash, cowl induction air system, ralley wheels, rear bumper guards.
The following up-grades were made as technology caught up to this camaro: 350 4 bolt main engine, coleman headers and california turbo mufflers, old style starter replaced with mini high torque style that does not over-heat, less efficient rochester 4 barrel with new edelbrock 4 barrel and matching intake manifold, orginal distributor up-graded to new HEI, hurst competition plus shifter replaced factory muncie. THESE MODIFICATIONS WERE DONE TO IMPROVE THE DURABILITY, EFFICENTCY, AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE and boy did they!!!!!!!!!!!

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany
Wed, Nov 19 2014The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
