1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z11 on 2040-cars
Carpenter, Iowa, United States
More infos regarding my cat at: adriannesquibb@juno.com . My 1969 Camaro Z11 Indy Pace Car. This is a numbers matching vehicle.
This one is a bit unique in that it is from the factory with convertible - manual trans – A/C, a rare
combination. It has 350/300Hp, front disk brakes, manual steering, manual windows, manual top. It runs and sounds
great. Obviously, it is a major head-tuner when it’s out on the road. It’s definitely a fun car to own.
I don’t know a lot about its history. I purchased it from the Volo Car Museum in Volo, IL in Aug of 2002 for
$29,995. It had broken suspension, worn interior and rusted up engine compartment.
I had the car fully vetted and inspected by Duffy’s Classic Cars immediately after purchase. They verified
authenticity and numbers matching. A previous owner riveted in a trunk floor and from underneath you can see the
original trunk floor is rusted through under the well for the convertible top. Rest of the car is sound. The body
sheet metal is great. Doors hang properly. The paint is not great. It appears to have been repainted at some
point. That paint, although it looks great from 15’ away, is chipping and spider web cracking in areas.
During my ownership, I have spent thousands of dollars upgrading or restoring primarily the suspension, interior
and engine compartment. I have put only a few thousand miles on the car, and it has seen only sunny weather.
I’ve probably washed it twice. No idea how old(or safe) the Goodyear tires are at this point.
Primary work performed: engine rebuilt by local muscle car shop in late 2011, new suspension, new interior, engine
compartment completely renovated (except firewall paint). As a result of this work, I have hundreds of new and
original parts left over – far too many to list, but they include all AC components/hoses, steering wheel,
partial cowl induction parts, extra carb(not correct), original dash fuel gauge, brake booster, alternator, and on
and on. I have receipts for over $14,000 invested.
I know this is going to be hard to believe, but the headlight doors are working properly!! As of this writing.
Can’t guarantee that for the future.
The interior is completely new. For the purposes of this ad, “New” means I installed it. It could have
happened in 2004 or 2007, so technically it’s not new(2015), but it also has sat virtually unused since
installed. I upgraded to the rosewood steering wheel. I rebuilt the seats down to replacing worn or broken
springs, as needed. The clock shows correct time twice a day. The sending unit in the fuel tank needs to be
replaced.
Engine was completely rebuilt by a local muscle car shop in 2011, has less than 300 miles on the rebuild.
I have added stainless brake lines, new fuel lines, new suspension, new exhaust, new clutch/pressure
plate/through-out bearing, all new AC components, all new ignition components, wire harnesses, washer system, cowl
induction system, brake booster and components, voltage regulator and similar electrical components, radiator
recently re-cored, vacuum lines, headlight door rebuild, new decals, and so on.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
