General Discussion / Kelsey Tire
« on: October 12, 2023, 06:35:14 PM »
 I received a call yesterday from Kelsey Tire.  I was told that John Kelsey passed away last month.  Ann, his daughter reached out to me about an hour ago.  John and I worked together on many projects and was one of the best in the restoration market.  John took on a project for me making the 7.35 x 15" redline Power Cushions for the '67 Z28 several years ago. 

Ann also told me that the company will continue on.  She had been working with her dad over the past two-three years.  So, the good news is Kelsey Tire will continue on.  RIP John Kelsey, you were such an asset to the vintage car hobby.

If anyone owns or knows of a 1967 375 hp Camaro with K19, we need a photo of the passenger's side valve cover.  Rebuilding an engine here at CHP and have a right side cover with bracket, just need to confirm. 

Thanks,

General Discussion / RS Head Lamp Bezels Needed, 68 Z28
« on: April 14, 2022, 10:14:24 PM »
Checking here to see if anyone may have an original pair of NOS rally sport head lamp bezels.  I'm trying to finish my last restoration project, a 1968 Z28 that I've known since new, and it was sold new at A.D. Anderson Chevrolet (where my '67 Z28 race car was also sold).  Anderson was the flagship performance dealer in Baltimore.  Hope to have it done for summer cruise events.  It's a factory cowl plenum car and originally like my white survivor Z28 with Kustom headers.  Only 87 Z28s got both options. 

Part #3898149 and 3898150.  Any help in locating a set is greatly appreciated!

Restoration / OEM Glass & Windshield
« on: December 14, 2021, 04:50:35 PM »
Does anyone know of a good glass company-supplier for correct glass for 67-69 Camaro?  Paul's Auto glass is now retired and some of the other stuff is from China.  Trying to find a good supplier for a customer and a car I am trying to finish.

Thanks,

General Discussion / Burgundy '69 Z28 For Sale, Ebay
« on: January 29, 2015, 08:15:25 PM »
Just a note to the group.  Seller on Ebay selling '69 Z28 stating car has its original number's matching engine.  I have confirmed for a client that it does not.  Here's a photos for all to see.  All of the characters for an 09C late build Z28 engine are incorrect.  The vin stamped numbers are not even close.  Just an FYI, buyer's beware.

Attention all 1967 Z28 owners.  After 10 years of working with John Kelsey on the 7.35 x 15" redlines for the '67 Z28, the tires are now available through Kelsey Tire.  I received the first redline Goodyear Power Cushion sample today.  We have been working on the details of this project since last year.  Very exciting news for the hobby. 

The tires are awesome and right on the money.  Call 800-325-0091 for yours today!

General Discussion / 2013 Camaro Nationals
« on: June 14, 2013, 12:41:56 PM »
Just a note to say looking forward to this year's Camaro Nationals next week.  This year promises to be even better and better with expectations of over 600 cars.  We will have some very nice examples in the 'Legends Certification' class and also some newly found survivor cars for the Legends class.  The large air conditioned building that we now work in is very nice and the city of Frederick has opened its arms to this ACA Camaro National event. 

Hope to see you all there.

General Discussion / L89 Camaro At Mecum, Not So....
« on: January 27, 2013, 02:24:26 AM »
Just found out that an original L78 car without the original engine was represented as an all original L89 Camaro certified by me.  The car was certified but it was missing its original L78 engine.  This car is not an original L89.  It was an original L78 car.  The original 840 heads were still with the car when I inspected it three years ago.

General Discussion / 1969 Z28 For Sale, Beware!
« on: July 25, 2012, 02:14:30 PM »
Just wanted to let this forum know about a car listed for sale that may be suspect.  I was suppose to do an on-site inspection today on a '69 Z28 in New Jersey.  This trip had been planned for three weeks.  Last night I received an email from my client that the owner was NOT going to allow me to do an inspection on the car and had to buy the car without any inspection for I think, $55,000.00.  I am posting the vin here so enthusiasts will know to be careful.

9N576784, January build date.

Thanks,

General Discussion / Camaro Natiionals @ Frederick Fairgrounds 2012
« on: June 25, 2012, 09:09:01 PM »
The Camaro Nationals held at the Frederick Fairgrounds was a big success. All of the "Legend" and "Bow Tie" class cars are now in an air conditioned building at the fairgrounds with plenty of room for moving cars around. Best judging conditions we've ever had.

All of the national judging teams have been consistant now for many years. Larry Christensen and I have now been working together for over 20 years. Bob Harris and Brad McAdam are not far behind in the years we've worked together. The chemistry and consistancy of what we do is now better than ever.

We also introduced "Legend Vintage" judging this year for all original survivor type 1st Gen Camaros. Make arrangements to attend next year. Should be even bigger and better! Car count was well over 425 cars this year!

Special thanks go out to the Maryland Camaro Club and the American Camaro Association.  See you next year!

General Discussion / Barrett-Jackson, The Correction Factor
« on: January 25, 2011, 01:48:20 AM »
Huge correction factor on most big block cars at B-J and Russo Steele.  Hemi cars and copos are way down.  Way down. 
 
Very nice 1969 rally green copo Camaro way down...........nicest one there and one I certified with oem BE rear.  Did $107K.  Rick Henricks bought that one.  Another fathom green copo did $99K with the oem engine.  I did that certification too.  Hemi cars were really taking a bath except for the '71 convert which did 1.7 million at Russo Steele.
 
For the most part, Z28's were holding their own, the two nicest went for $75K and 80K plus commission.  Paul Kiel's Diamond Certified British green '68 Z28 sold for $56K.  That was a steal as it's one of the nicest in the country.  Bob Tyler owned it and decided to cash out on that car.  Bob has been a good client of mine for many years.  Great guy and many cars in his collection.   

Also saw many restamps and some repro cowl tags so again, it's buyer beware. 

Had a nice dinner with Bill Glowacki and the local Camaro club out there.  Great people!  Was as great time and the weather was unbeatable.
 
More later,
 
Jerry
