I am selling my '69 Hugger Orange Camaro (SS Badging) VIN Number: 123379N567413
I bought the car in October 2011 from a friend of mine who got the car out of Pennsylvania and had it shipped here to Pensacola. I drove it for a few months w/the built 350 it had in it then around mid December the motor and tranny were out and the LS1 swap got underway. I've put around 3,500 miles on her after the swap. The car has PS, PB (front disc, rear drum), LS1 w/ 4L60E, Vintage Air Gen IV, 10 Bolt Rear w/ Eaton POSI and 3.36 Richmond gear (Gear and POSI were installed 10/2012 along with new bearings, seals, cover gasket, and gear oil), and American Racing 17x8 TT2's all the way around. Tires have good tread on them. Were put on right before I bought the car. Battery is newer. This car drives great and gets good gas mileage. I drove it to NC and TN for Run Thru The Hills in September 2012 and the car did great! Cruised the whole way there and back at 75-80mph w/AC on and music playing. 26 mpg. I'm selling because I have enjoyed the car and want to invest in another house.
Motor/Drivetrain: The motor is an LS1 out of a 2002 SS Camaro that had 89,000 miles on it when we removed it and the 4L60E from the car. I took all accessories of the motor and did a thorough cleaning and degreasing (See pics). I then painted the block, water pump, etc. Cast Coat Iron. The pulleys, coil packs, and upper intake are Semi Flat Black. The tranny is Cast Coat Iron as well. It all looks really clean and people comment on it when you open the hood. The oil pan is the Holley LS pan. I used Dirty Dingo sliders for adjustibility. Aluminum radiator and dual electric fans. New water pump. Taylor Wires. Lokar throttle cable and pedals. K&N filter. I added a Z06 cam and springs and Dynatech longtube headers. Off road H-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers complete the exhaust. The car has been tuned and totally remapped. The motor runs great, starts up as it should, idles perfectly, shifts perfectly, and it's a pretty peppy car. I've had some high horsepower cars and this car is as fun to drive as any of them.
Suspension: The car was pretty stock when I bought it. I added Hotckis front coil springs and rear leaf springs (1.5" drop), Hotckis front sway bar, and new front shocks. It sits awesome and handles so much better. These few upgrades totally changed the feel and look of the car.
Interior: I just installed a brand new carpet in the car in January. The seats and console are out of a 2002 SS Camaro and the driver is power. With the console there are two AC power jacks and 4 cup holders. The dash pad is new. I installed a JVC cd player w/ Ipod hookup. I installed Kenwood dash speakers and Pioneer rear deck speakers. Installed a Grant steering wheel, Autometer Phantom gauges, and 3-way seat belts. All original side and rear glass. Some scratches. The interior is very clean and simple. *The lid on console needs to be replaced. I have just dealt w/ it. It opens and closes but the mounting bracket is messed up. It's loose and doesn't latch shut. Junkyard/U-Pull-It might be the place to look.
Paint/Body: This is a great looking DRIVER car! It's not a show car. I just waxed her last weekend. She gets a lot of comments, thumbs ups, smiles everywhere I go. The paint looks killer from 8-10ft away, but if you inspect the car up real close there are some rust spots in the typical places; ie bottom of doors, rear deck cover?? (Between rear glass and trunk), and one on the piece in front of the hood above grill area (See pics of imperfections below). When we were removing the front passenger fender I nicked the edge of door ..... It has been touched up so it's less noticeable. I'm not a Camaro scholar, this is my first old car. I'm trying to be as up front as possible. I'm anal about my cars and these are things some people wouldn't care about. Not me though. I recently noticed after I washed the car that the truck had a little water in it. After talking to a few people this is not uncommon. I haven't had the time to investigate further.. I never drive it if it's raining because I don't have to so it's not to big of an issue for me.
Type of Acceptable Payment: Bank Wire, Cash, or Cashiers Check from Bank that's in my area. I would prefer a Wire transfer.
Deposit: $500 Paypal deposit within 24 hours of sale
Pickup: Call me to schedule pickup after the auction is completed. I would like to close the deal within 10 days of auction close but will work with the buyer as much as possible. The car is in my garage and will stay there until it's picked up.
The car is for sale locally and will be driven occasionally. Ask me any questions and I will give you an honest and forthright answer. I can also take more pictures if needed. Thanks for looking!

Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.
