1965 El Camino / Chevelle/ Full Body Off Restoration/ on 2040-cars
United States
I have a fully restored, better than new 1965 el Camino that I hate to sell, but I have bills that need to be paid .What we have here is a very nice sleeper /cruiser /cross country driver. This beauty can idle all day in traffic and never get hot, cruise at any speed on the highway at a low rpm 70mph@ 2200 rpm . BUT WHEN YOU WANT TO PLAY JUST PRESS DOWN THE PEDAL AND HANG ON. This beauty will light the tires up in any gear on command, or you can use her as a daily commuter. Now to the details, with the body removed, the frame has been completely stripped and repainted, all the springs front and rear have been replaced with a sport suspension handling package including sway bars, KYB shocks on all 4 corners, all the control arm bushings and ball joints and other front suspension parts were supplied by Original Parts Group. The brake system was supplied by SSBC with power disc front brakes, and rear drum brakes, all the brake lines and fuel lines are brand new and stainless steel, the fuel tank is also new. The engine is a GM Performance 383 crate motor, the transmission is a TCI Performance turbo 350 package. The engine has a GM tune port injection system, with a new wiring harness and new injectors & programed ECM (has OBD diagnostic connector under dash). This engine also has a Paxton supercharger system made for the tune port injection system and it runs fantastic. The supercharger only boost high when under heavy load, boost 5-7lb at full boost, 1-3lb normal driving. Very quiet system, you would never know it's there, unless you see it. The car has; power steering and power brakes, a serpentine belt system, 4core radiator and duel electric fans, has full-length headers, and a complete Flowmaster 2.5" exhaust system. The interior is completely new; new seat and door panels, new headliner, new dash pad, new visors, new carpet, and the complete interior has been dyno matted. Has a Ididit tilt steering column, new Painless wiring harness, has Dakota digital gauges, custom Autosound stereo system (STOCK LOOK), all new door seals and window felts. There is hardly any road noise on the inside. Has a new paint job that looks great, the paint is a gun metal gray. The body lines all line up nice and the gaps are even, most of the stainless is original and original bed rails & bumpers. The grill and front trim is aftermarket (Original Parts Group). All the doors open & shut like new , so does the tail gate, the bed has been rino-lined, no rust. It also has a custom made bed cover. The paint has been cut and buffed so it real shines. Overall this a very nice car. I'm sure I have left out a ton of details, thanks for looking & good luck if you're biding. Don't let this one get away if you've been searching for a gem! - Glen |

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids
Mon, Dec 28 2015The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
