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.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
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.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
