1960 Chevy El Camino Car Project on 2040-cars
Ivanhoe, California, United States
|
This stock 1960 El Camino has been in the family since its purchase in 1960. It was a medical doctor's daily driver until 1999 when it was placed on jack stands under the cover of a carport. It was driven to this location and has remained there. The 235 cu. in. straight six runs, although it has a blown freeze plug, which is mated to a manual three speed (3 on the tree) transmission. The engine and differential have been rebuilt, but the mileage of this service is unknown. Routine maintenance was performed religiously while the El Camino was in service. The odometer reads 90,424. The vehicle was painted two times. and I believe the driver's door had a new skin applied.
All glass is in place, all but the windshield being original. All of the original exterior trim is attached but some of it will need straightening or replacement. Although not pictured, the four original hubcaps have been stored out of the elements. The doors work well, the tailgate and latch work well as does the seat mechanism and the hood. The radio is original, as is the spotlight and the bed rails. The bed floor is original and is in good condition except for some minor "rust-thru" near the cab. There is minor rust in the body, a "rust-thru" can be seen behind the driver's side rear tire which at one time was repaired by a body shop. Please refer to the pictures for the extent of rust. The floor pan on the passenger side was professionally repaired. A custom carpet was installed so I don't know the condition of the other floor areas except from examination from under the vehicle (see the pictures.) Except for replacement seat covers, floor carpet and a dash mat, the interior is original and includes a padded dashboard. The windows work but are stiff to operate. Three of the original tail-light lenses are in place. The parking light/turn signal lenses will need to be replaced. The passenger side tail fin has been damaged and the front grill, headlight bezels, and bumper sustained damage from a low speed collision and will need straightening. There is a dent and slight crease in the driver's side front fender. All of these have been pictured. This El Camino is located in central California about half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco near SR 99. It may be possible to drive it onto a trailer for ease of transport which is the responsibility of the buyer. Please feel free to email me with any questions. |

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
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
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
