This 1968 Camaro Sport Coupe started life the 3rd week of April 1968 as a Sport Coupe with black bucket seats, standard shift, with the  Rare Option (ONE YEAR ONLY) Factory Special Color 00 Corvette Bronze, Option C08 black vinyl roof, Option Z21 style trim. Through the years, Corvette Bronze lost its original motor, went through a color change (Tuxedo Black), and after 26 years, in 1994 Corvette Bronze started its restoration. I purchased Corvette Bronze in 2002  a  11 years ago, for $15,000 wow.  Today that would be $30,000. The restoration was a work in progress. Corvette Bronze had all new professionally installed steel GM front clip, all new professionally installed steel rear half quarter panels, the wheel wells were never cut-up to keep Corvette Bronze stock and  original.

Has all Original Floors and Trunk, NO RUST, has Original all steel trunk lid that opens with original key as it should. Has all Original Wiring, was not hacked up, has original dash, plate cover hides radio, heat air controls, ash tray. I have original heat air controls. Standard transmission was replaced with a Turbo 400. But still has original clutch pedal still in car. Had a 12 Bolt Rear with 4:88’s.

The original 327 was replaced with a 355 small block. Has NEW SS grill, NEW chrome bumpers, NEW carpet, NEW door panels, front and rear, NEW arm rest pads. As a car collector, I know you buy CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION. That’s why I spent $15,000, a 11 years ago. I did not want a rust bucket to start my next project. I wanted to replace the small block  with a BIG BLOCK. Small block  are always second to Big Blocks. Ask any ’67 Corvette owner. I did not want a restored,original, antiqued, SLOW, BAD brakes, Trailer Queen.

      I took the Camaro to “BILLS  CUSTOM AUTO” in Hollywood, Fla. (954) 826- 4451 to UPDATE the Camaro to drive on the street, go to Happy Days, drive to and enter in  car shows. I had pro touring in mind but the Camaro was too original and in excellent condition. The small block was the first to go. Big Block, L-78 396-375, L-89 396-375, aluminum heads, Baldwin Motion 427-425. BEEN THERE DONE THAT. I told Bills Custom Auto I wanted a REAL Big Block. Keep the Camaro stock looking and eat for breakfast the ZL1 Corvette, Porsche, Viper, Ferrari, Shelby’s and the list goes on. To do that a 496 cu. In. Nitrous 225 HP Big Shot, Aluminum Heads, a Crane 713 Roller Lift Cam, Crane Roller Rockers, MSD Distributor, MSD wires, MSD ignition box, High Flow Aluminum  Radiator, Electric fan, Electric water pump, a 1050 Holley Dominator Carburetor, NEW fuel cell, NEW dual fuel filters, NEW dual fuel pumps, all NEW stainless steel braided fuel lines, NEW fuel gauges, and THE LIST OF NEW GOES ON. No expense was spared. The BEST OF THE BEST. The 488’s were replaced with NEW 4:10 gears to make the Camaro more streetable, NEW Aluminum housing cover,NEW large front & rear wheel studs. NEW springs, frame connectors. I knew with a blistering 496 Nitrous motor I needed to stop.

New all 4 wheels, Air Hart Aluminum  Disc brakes, Drilled Rotors, High Performance Master Cylinder.

New M/T front tires

New M/T street drag radicals

Original front suspension overhauled

      TRANSMISSION, 4 speeds are nice but at my age, non-smoker, adult owned, I don’t want to miss gears. The Turbo 400 is FRESH, NEW TCI Converter, B+M deep pan, Trans brake.

    The interior in the Camaro is ORIGINAL & Stock except for NEW Racing Bucket Seats. NHRA approved roll cage, B+M Shifter, steering wheel, original dash is all there, windows work as they should, original backseat, head liner, interior lite, ALL STOCK & ORIGINAL. the original interior only needs to be totally original is bucket seats, console and shifter, thats it!

The Camaro has FACTORY wiring with NEW Quick Dis-Connects in engine compartment (see pictures)

When I purchased the Camaro the body was in excellent condition.  Panel gaps are excellent; I still want to buy a Ferrari when the prices come down. So the Camaro is painted a beautiful, show quality FERRARI RED, PAINTED NOT DECALS SINISTER looking Rally Stripes, a lift off glass hood, the paint has a MIRROR FINISH. More wax than miles. So you’ll be proud to show it.

    The restoration has moved beyond factory stock and into the realm of a high end retro mod. The clean look of this early Camaro is popular for a very good reason. It simply looks AWESOME.  For performance  its hard to beat, this 496 cu.in. BIG BLOCK in a light weight F- Body. This BIG BLOCK Ferrari Red Camaro was built for speed, and like the rest of the car, takes no prisoners! BRUTALLY FAST CARS LIKE THESE ATTRACT ALL THE ATTENTION AT FRIDAY NIGHT CRUISE NIGHTS AND DOMINATE THE DRAG STRIP ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The Camaro starts and idles like a 2014 ZL1 Camaro. And best of all, it remains in ready-to-race condition. If you are a race fan, a Camaro enthusiast, OR BOTH, this is a once in a lifetime car. There is only one of these and you can bet the winning bidder will probably not be interested in selling for a LONG, LONG TIME. BID NOW!!! NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!! TURN KEY – NEEDS NOTHING!! DRIVE ANYWHERE!! EVERYTHING IS FRESH, DRIVEN LESS THAN 50 MILES.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy

Tue, Nov 27 2018

DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020

Wed, Jan 6 2021

BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
