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!

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
