My story on this car is ridiculously long, but I'll try to shorten it a bit. I bought the car out of New Jersey, it was last titled in 1973, was wrecked then, and left to sit in the bush and be picked over for parts. The body was in surprisingly good shape, other than the roof and upper cowl. I installed a new roof, upper cowl, upper dash, tail pan, and bought new sheet metal for the front. I repaired minor pin holes in the floor and trunk, but most is original sheet metal. The quarter panels were solid, but had been dented and then repaired with bondo. I soda blasted the entire car, and roughly dollied out the quarters, they still need some work to finish straightening, but I figured it would be better than Taiwan quarters. I bought good used RS inner fenders which are already finished in the proper matte black, and a California subframe which I've just freshly powder coated. I have new front fenders and cowl hood. I have purchased a ridiculous amount of parts for the car, because I planned on building show quality. I have a complete RS headlamp system, NOS RS grille and mldg, NOS rear spoiler, new tilt steering column, new centre console, complete new deluxe interior including black houndstooth seat material which I've already installed, restored instrument panel, complete new wiring harnesses, door handles, mirrors, emblems, lamps, steering wheel, good used tinted side glass, all told over $17000 in parts at today's prices. Most parts were purchased at Rick's Camaro (Eckler's), and most new. I have a set of 14" rally wheels as well as a set of American Racing Stics 5 15x8 wheels (look like Torq Thrusts). I had a 454 and a Muncie, but they have already been sold as they did not match the car. You will still need to purchase a motor, transmission, exhaust, windshield, back glass, seat belts, and some other small parts, but 90% of what you need I have. I have a 12 bolt posi rear with multi leaf springs, 4 spd trans crossmember, driveshaft, and used front disc brake setup, as well as the old original drum brakes should you decide that's what you want. I have the proper stamping numbered distributor, alternator, and a couple of pulleys. I also have a good used front bumper, and a new aftermarket (US made, not China) rear bumper. Lots of restoration manuals, and templates for placing antenna, stripes, rear spoiler, back up lamps, emblems, etc.

The car was originally a Butternut Yellow (less than 1% of 69's were painted Butternut before switching to Daytona Yellow, which makes it much more rare), with black vinyl top, RS and SS packages, 4 spd, 12 bolt, and a black standard interior. The only change I was going to make from original was the black deluxe houndstooth. I bought the car from the original owner so I know it is what I've said, but as it's a US car unfortunately I can't offer any more proof. I do have a copy of the original New York title, last registered in 1973.

I realize the price will scare some away, but that's ok, I don't have to sell it. Before all the self proclaimed "experts" offer their 2 cents, please realize.....

A new aftermarket body tub will cost you $16000

You would then need to find an ownership / title, or register the car as a current model year, and at that point it is worth nothing to 69 Camaro buyers.

You would need front sheet metal: approx $1000

Rear axle: $1200

Subframe $1000

Interior $3000

About $10000 in small parts, which I've already purchased.

At that point you would have spent about $32000 to be at the point I'm at now, (not to mention whatever your donor title car cost you), and you'd still have an aftermarket tub worth half what the real thing is!

I have offered a buy it now option, but feel free to make me a reasonable offer as well.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is also for sale locally.

Buyer is responsible for shipping, but I can deliver in Southern Ontario or to any of the Ontario / US border (Canadian side) for an additional fee.

The photos show some of the wrinkles still remaining in the rear quarters, everything on the shelf is for the car, the pic of small parts is just one tote, there are four more just like it!

Over $15000 in parts, never mind the car itself.

I can email a detailed list of all the parts, but I am unable to attach it to the listing, please ask if you'd like to see it.

At my best guess, you're probably looking at another $15000 to finish this car to show quality, but you should have $65000 piece when you're done.

To put it simply, those that know what it takes to build one of these cars will realize what's here, those that don't or can't afford it, please just move on, this one is not for you!

Chevy Bolt meets 2016 Nissan Leaf at LA NEDW event [UPDATE]

Mon, Sep 14 2015

The 2015 National Drive Electric Week kicked off this past weekend with events happening all around the world. Our friends from Plug In America (PIA) send us some notes and pictures from one of the larger events in Los Angeles, CA. This event was special because it saw the debut of the 2016 Nissan Leaf and the west coast debut of the Chevy Bolt concept. The two electric vehicles were in the same place at the same time for the first time ever. Besides that little bit of electric vehicle history, the organizers helped facilitate 800 test drives, PIA co-founder Zan Dubin Scott told AutoblogGreen. The city of Los Angeles also gave proclamations to movie director Chris Paine (Who Killed The Electric Car? and Revenge Of The Electric Car) and the three national organizers of Drive Electric Week: PIA, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association. Speakers at the event included names that should be familiar to AutoblogGreen readers: California state senator Kevin de Leon, race car driver Leilani Munter, and Dave Barthmuss of General Motors, among others. Joel Levin, the executive director of Plug In America, said during his speech that, "Electric cars are changing the world. Every time one of these vehicles gets sold, our air gets a little cleaner. We will take a big bite out of climate change. Our economy will not be subject to wild swings in gas prices. And we will not be involved in foreign wars over oil." Tell us about your own NEDW events (that happened already or are about to happen) in the Comments below. UPDATE: We received the text of Andrew Speaker's comments at the event. Speaker is Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales & Marketing. We've included them below. Thank you, and good afternoon! On behalf of Nissan, we are proud to sponsor National Drive Electric Week, and we're excited to be able to celebrate it here in Los Angeles with all of you. This is actually my first National Drive Electric Week event, and I am inspired by the level of enthusiasm here today, and seeing everyone's passion for electric vehicles first hand. Nissan has had some big news in the last few days with the introduction of the 2016 Nissan LEAF, which is the world's first affordable electric car to get more than 100 miles of range on a single charge. The 2016 LEAF offers a new 30 kWh battery with an EPA-rated 107 miles of range... and its making its global debut here in Los Angeles.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss Â– the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.
