Bought a NOS Casco style cigarette lighter and a used defogger switch – I needed some clips from it to use on my nos switch to mount it in the holder. Hope to have that write-up this next week.

Bought several more items this last week – most new old stock (nos) and one in very nice condition:

nos A/C Blower Fan:
nos A/C Blower Motor:
Very nice A/C Heater Controller – 1 year only for a ’73 Camaro – very happy with this:
nos Spoiler for a fraction of the cost of a brand new repo spoiler (one picture shows a crack which I am unable to find on the physical spoiler) – super excited about this one:
I found a very nice original center console. I had a reproduction console I was going to use, but prefer the original ones as they are a better quality – there are a couple spots that will need restoring. Click the images to cycle through the pictures:
Located a nice grill for the rear defroster (click image to cycle through the images):
Been busy getting things at home ready for winter – still have some leaves to rake, then hope to get back out to the garage to work on the Camaro within the next few weeks \ month.
Bought a 71-72 deluxe steering wheel even though mine is a 73 car… I like the look and it will complement the other deluxe interior parts I have been acquiring. This just arrived today and will eventually have someone restore it to correct some of the flaws.
Also bought some deluxe door panels that are in good condition – will need a little restoration before going in the car.
I bought a deluxe dash bezel out of a 73 which has the larger wiper switch opening and is in very good condition although it still needs some restoration before going in the car. Note the cigarette lighter opening will need a little work as it once got hot and has a larger opening.
Time for a long overdue update on the project. I made a deal on a 1970 Camaro SS RS. I really didn’t want another complete car in the garage for the winter, so to make a long story short, I am able to take all the parts I want off it and leave the main body which is no good behind. I am almost done with taking the parts off of. What I don’t use, I can sell. Refer to this page for details on SS and Rally Sport (RS) options as this has both.
The main two things I wanted from this car was the 12-bolt rear end (only available in 1970) and the RS options and a few other hard-to-find items. I need to take one more trip and will take more pictures. But here are a few photos of the car\parts:
The first thing to notice here is the split bumper and round turn signals. A closer look shows the roof to be bowed – Would have needed a new roof which I didn’t want to do.
Note the interior is all there – The bucket seats and the seat tracks can be sold. The center console can also be sold along with the dash.
I took the chrome window trim off of the front & rear windows along with the trunk lid and spoiler – all that can be sold.
Close-ups of the RS front-end. The Urethane nose and bottom valance will need replaced, but the rest of the parts are in good shape:
The tags on the plate were from 1985:
12-bolt Rear-end was only used in 1970 for the second gen Camaros – I will rebuild and use this in my car:
The RS tail lights are in great shape
Complete engine & trans – I kept the hood hinges – The hood wasn’t worth keeping.
Special wood grain dash and 150 mph speed odometer I will use. I also got the steering column & wheel, and the rest of the dash.
Note the rims – two collectible rims and another one in the trunk along with the original jack – I will sell those.
Also got the ratchet shifter:
I also got the hidden windshield wipers, gas tank, some misc interior parts, and a few other odds and ends. Plan on going back to get the seats, more interior parts, fenders and remaining front-end pieces.
Will post more pics after I go back.
