This Big Block 69 Super Sport Camaro would make a nice daily driver.
When I bought it 30 years ago it was Daytona Yellow with a Black Top.
It has a .030 over, 1972 454 cubic inch rat motor in it and it runs great.
It has a recently rebuilt Muncie 4 Speed in it, with an OE Hurst shifter.
The 12 bolt rearend has 3:08 gears, and an OEM Eaton 3 series Posi.
This is a Van Nuys California car with a clear California Pink Slip/Title.
The engine in the car runs excellent, on straight low octane pump gas.
The 396 pinged on pump gas, due to the 10:25 to 1 compression ratio.
This Camaro was built the first week of February 1969 at the Van Nuys plant, the 396 in the pictures came with the car when I bought it and it is dated January 29th 1969 or A 29, 1969.
The engine runs and still has 50 pounds oil pressure at an idle. It has never been torn down before and is standard bore with the OE steel shim head gaskets and nylon/aluminum gear.
This Camaro had factory air conditioning, power steering and a factory AM/FM radio when I purchased it over 30 years ago. Unfortunately I sold the radio to a guy in Canada years ago.
As you can see in the pictures the inside of both rear wheel well openings were cut/modified.
That is all of the bad news, the good news is that all of the sheet metal with the exception of the 2 front fenders is the original sheet metal installed by Fisher in 1969. The 2 front fenders sustained some damage in 1975 and were replaced with what we now call NOS fenders by the local Chevrolet dealer in Monterey/Seaside. There is absolutely NO rust in the floor pan, rocker panels, shock towers, quarter panels, roof, trunk, doors etc. It is a California Camaro.
The 396 is included and it's 99.9 percent complete as built in the TowandaNY plant in 1969. When I bought the car we wire wheeled the underside and painted it with black Imron paint.
This is a nice solid car and I have some spare parts for it, including the original shock mount plates and a spare set of OEM leaf springs if you would like to go back to the smooth factory ride it originally had without the "slapper bars" on it. The Muncie shifts like it did new in 1969.
Make me a reasonable offer and I'll setup a "Buy it Now" for this auction and sell you the car.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
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
