Chevrolet Camaro Z11 (1969)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Up for auction is 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 $15, 000 invested. Just had the R12 A/C system checked out and fully charged. A/C is working fine.
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.
I am also listing the car locally and reserve the right to discontinue this auction at any time.
I have seen this identical car, with nicer paint, sell for $85K in recent years. My reserve is significantly lower.
Car is offered as-is, where-is. No warranty of any kind. Buyer responsible for pick up.
Non-refundable deposit of $500(PayPal only) required at bid close. Full payment required within 7 days. Full payment by PayPal or US bank certified cashier's check only.
