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.

    i am a private seller, ebay only allows me 24 pictures. i have more pictures, under carriage, motor, interior, exterior, trunk.

send me your email address, i will send more pictures to you. you can eat off the engine, the bottom of the camaro is just ask CLEAN as the top 

this camaro has been a labor of love. I have spent THOUSANDS of DOLLARS on this , On- The- Frame Restoration.  MY LOSS YOUR GAIN. Illness forces sale. LOW RESERVE. FLY IN AND DRIVE HOME, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Corvette owner finds stolen car, but can't get it back [w/video]

Wed, Feb 25 2015

It's not too uncommon to hear about owners being reunited with their stolen cars decades after reporting them missing. The story of Terry Dietrich in Georgia starts that way with police finding her lost 1972 Chevrolet Corvette after over 40 years. However, this case takes a different turn because unless she wants to bid on it, Dietrich's likely not getting the 'Vette back. Just six months after purchasing it in 1972, Dietrich's blue Corvette was stolen in Georgia, and in 1975 the sports car found its way to a man in North Carolina. He kept the car right up until his death just a few months ago, and that's when restorer Gary Green bought the 'Vette from his widow, according to Yahoo Autos. Unfortunately, after acquiring the Corvette, Green found some major discrepancies. For one thing, the listed VIN pointed to a '69 convertible, and there was a different serial number on the frame. Green reported the problem to the local police, and they figured out it was the 'Vette Dietrich lost over four decades ago. Consequently, the cops impounded it. The issue now arises that while Dietrich is the victim of the theft, she isn't technically the car's last legal owner. After the Corvette was stolen, she reported the crime to her insurance company, and it paid on the claim, which essentially forfeited her ownership. To make matters slightly more confusing the company can't find the title on the 'Vette either, according to Yahoo Autos. That leaves the well preserved 'Vette sitting in a police impound lot. It will likely go to auction.

GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs

Wed, Aug 19 2020

SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
