Offered here for sale has got to be the most documented first generation convertible Camaro on the planet.  The huge binder that accompanies the car is packed full of all documentation, photographs, and related starting from birth and continues to date. A complete provenance.  I did not take pictures of everything as there is so much but will do so for a specific request.  I originally looked at literally hundreds of first generation Camaros searching for this car.  There are many out there but unlike this one few have any legitimate documentation and many have been pieced together from multiple cars and reproduction parts.  Additionally this car was purchased by a Canadian collector, I believe via a Barrett Jackson sale, and I rescued it not only back to the U.S. where a car like this belongs but also back home to within a few miles from where it was originally purchased (see additional info on that below).  The only reason I am selling this fabulous car is my son is now in college and my daughter is a high school senior thus this one has to find a new home to help support the cause. 

In addition to the documentation this car is a special order X-11 code car.  The car was specially-ordered locally in Georgia in 1969 by Judson Whatley for his 24th birthday.  He kept the car for almost 20 years and apparently was extremely anal saving every piece of paper associated with the purchase and his 20 year ownership of the car.  This precedent was continued through the years by others up to and including my period of ownership.  You will not find another car documented to this extreme.

Examples of items in the huge binder include original special order (X-11) paperwork/original Bill of Sale, first gas receipt on purchaser's own street, some kind of original owner's name badge "Judson Whatley, Personnel Division", additional original keys, original Protect-O-Plate and owner's manual, all registration, insurance, and tax related paperwork over the years, original owner's (Judson Whatley) Auto Trader page at time of first sale after 19 years of ownership at 77K miles showing original special order "hockey stick" stripes and other special order options, 1993 restoration and correct-color and only repaint, photos at several car shows to include 1992 Southeastern Nationals, infinite and methodical documentation of any and all repairs to date over the car's life, and everything else one might want to see. 

 I personally added photos of the car in front of the original dealership, located about 20 miles from my home, as well as next to the new retro Camaros.  The third generation family owner of the still in business dealership (Andean Chevrolet in Cumming, Georgia) spent time looking at the car and reviewing the original documentation.  He specifically commented his late Mother's signature on the original Bill of Sale and made a copy of it for himself.  He also provided a hand-written letter on Andean letterhead for the binder as well as some dealership decals and trinkets.  I added some additional pictures to include departure from Canada and arrival back to its original home in Georgia.  Added the GT Parade booklets and photos as well.  Also included is the prior Alberta, Canada plate.

Car still wears it's 1993 restoration repaint which presents very well.  No rust anywhere, no scratches, no dents, just a few very minor nicks touched up in the past with correct match touchup paint.  Car has parade boot, as well as original jack and spare tire.  Body panels including floor pans and trunk are believed to be original. 

The car was featured in a commercial 5 years ago which is still on YouTube at the link below.

Additionally I was told by the prior movie the car was used somehow in the 1991 The Doors movie starring Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan and one of the photos posted shows the car with a camera as part of that use.  The movie is bad and in my fast forward through a rental I did not see it.

Car is driven regularly and can easily be driven anywhere with no concern.  Has been driven in the last two Georgia Tech homecoming parades and the rare and original color Olympic Gold is very similar to the color of the Ramblin' Reck color of the mascot vehicle.  Car can be made available with adequate notice for professional inspection or personal visual inspection. 

$1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction close.  Car is will be also for sale locally shortly and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck.  You will not be disappointed!  You will not find a better documented and unmolested original First Generation Camaro plus the unique X-11 code special order features.  If you would like any additional information do not hesitate to contact me via ebay email.  Don

GM opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks

Mon, Nov 1 2021

In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."  Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.

Chevy Bolt will go into production in Michigan in 2016 [UPDATE]

Fri, Feb 6 2015

While nothing official has been announced, it appears that General Motors may actually put the all-electric Chevy Bolt into production next year. That's the rumor that Reuters is reporting, citing two sources at suppliers for the upcoming $30,000 EV (although that $30,000 number bears some scrutiny). This rumor does fit in with earlier comments that the Bolt would arrive on the market in 2017. If it gets built, the Bolt will share more than a similar-sounding name with the Chevy Volt: the EV will be put together in metro Detroit. Reuters says the 200-mile electric car (and an Opel version) will be made in "an underused small-car plant north of Detroit," which means the Orion Township plant. GM could make between 25,000 and 30,000 Bolts a year there, if what the suppliers are saying is true. We have asked GM for a statement on this story and will update it if we hear back. UPDATE: General Motors manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, told AutoblogGreen that, "Bolt EV Concept is just that – a concept. We're currently evaluating the vehicle program, but do not have any production announcements to make at this time."
