1965 Chevelle/el Camino One Of A Kind 2 Owner Very Special Car Garaged on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
|
No Reserve The highest bidder owns this El Camino. I bought this car off the original owner in factory original condition 1994. I restored it, showed it, drove it and garaged it over years, the last picture of the car was taken on our drive way in 1995. I have a file full of receipts including the protect-o-plate and original sales receipt etc.. I am letting go of the car without a reserve for personal reasons. I restore classic 60's cars and this el camino is my own personal car. 1965 chevelle/el camino with mostly all it's original parts from the factory. And some non original items such as the front seat upholstery, floor mats, cigarette lighter, radio antenna, engine and drive train. Local California car with no rust bought in Van Nuys California. I had the car lowered 2 inches all around back in 1996 or so. The body is super straight. Recent (less than a year old) 383 4 bolt main stroker engine with all the go fast goodies hand built by myself that's barley broken in with less than 200 miles, B&M turbo 350 3 speed automatic with shift kit and 2500 stall converter, a posi-traction with 411 geared rear end, from back in 1996 all refreshed. The brakes on the car are the factory manual all drum (never upgraded), recently replaced but the car can use a power disc brake conversion kit. The under side of the car looks just as nice as the rest. Exterior and steering wheel were sprayed a sea foam green from hot rod flatz a couple of years back, the dash and door jams were not. The paint has very minor nicks caused by road debris in about five areas, (would need to be up close to see). The front two eyebrow molding around the headlights were bent when installed, also the interior dome light lens is missing (see pic). Everything works lights, signals, radio etc.. The stereo system in the glove box is just the custom box an empty alpine face cover box a pioneer remote and there is a older alpine cd changer in the back along with the cables that were ran all come with the car (the actual stereo system I removed a long time ago). Rims, tires, shocks, trim, paint, moldings, chrome, bumpers are all like new condition. Current registration, ready to be enjoyed and driven (not sitting parked in a garage). The looks Great and always gets attention when out. It is super fast, lots of torque. Overall a beautiful very clean reliable hot rod. I am very sad to let her go but I must. One thing I can say for sure is the new owner is going to be VERY happy. Please feel free to contact me with questions or to come see the car before bidding. Please leave a message and I will call back. I have the car up for sale locally as well. Thank you (818) 427-2800

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery
Thu, May 15 2014As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
