I don't see where I can edit my original post. It was Aero-Kroil.
FWIW, I have a 60's vintage rotating lighted Budweiser pocket watch hanging clock that I got working again several years back using the same process (other than the gears required disassembly which was tedious).

I thought that I would share this in the event someone wants to try to revive there dead clock in their Camaro.

My clock hasn't worked since I don't know when. The second hand had also worked its way off the stem and has been laying in the bottom of the housing for years. I had considered doing a quartz conversion so decided to open it up and inspect it. I removed the clock from the tach housing and decided to try to get the original one working before doing the conversion. After some cleaning the contacts with a contact file and the gears with an electronic contact cleaner, I followed up with some Pene-Lube and put 12 v to it. Fifty-eight years later it's running like a clock again. I also cleaned the contacts that winds it every couple of minutes.

  Glad to see you back! Thak you for the hard work and wishing the best of health. It has been missed by many...

Sorry, I thought it was understood that it is a 2-speed rear window defroster.

My '68 SS/RS came with one as an option. I think they were more common in full size GM cars. I've never seen many of them, especially in Camaro's.

I'd heard that applying Easy Off Oven cleaner on it and let it soak/set for a bit to loosen it up and then get you several of the plastic sheetrock scrapers.

I'm assuming that you have also offered to buy it?

When taking a screenshot and blowing it up it looks like a 6 to me.

#25 belonged to a friend of the family that was a orange automatic. It was in many of the shows at Charlotte Motor Speedway Auto Fair and was at Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum at one time. It was sold after the owner passed several years back so I don't know where it is now.

I was born and raised in Charlotte. In that era it would have likely been LaPointe Chevrolet (uptown) or City Chevrolet (North Charlotte) and years later there Larry Jay Chevrolet (South Charlotte).

Great information. Thanks to those that contributed!

It's hard to walk away from something so unique but with known frame rot and other unidentified issues I'd be inclined to do so for that price. 

IMO, I have to agree with KurtS.

I would suggest to update the photo's every 60-90 days to give others a chance to show their fine rides.
