Up for sale is this 1966 Chevrolet El Camino that was factory equipped with a 327/275hp engine and 4 speed transmission. This El Camino was built in the Fremont, CA factory and sold new at Barton's Chevrolet of Yorba Linda, CA. This El Camino has spent it's entire life in a dry California climate and is still registered to it's original California black plates. This El Camino is believed to have just over 59k original miles. This El Camino had sat in the garage of the original owner until 2012 when it was bought from the original owners estate. At the time of purchase it had sat unused for more than a few years and needed some freshening up before being put back into daily use. The original interior was dry, faded, cracked, and had split seams so it was time to get refreshed with a mostly new factory style interior which includes: headliner, sunvisors, seat upholstery, door seals, carpet, arm rests, dash pad, and a few other odds and ends. The engine and transmission also received some attention: new rear main seal, transmission input and output shaft seals, new clutch kit, engine and transmission mounts, full tune up, carb rebuild, fuel pump, V belt, fan shroud, and hoses. Brakes are also rebuilt with all new flex lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes. The engine runs smooth and has plenty of power. Transmission shifts smooth. Brakes work as they should. The paint is mostly original and is in respectable condition for it's age. Same goes for all the brightwork and trim. This El Camino is very dry in all of the usual rust areas: floors, hood, fenders, bed, quarters, etc. are all rust free. The only area with any rust is very minimal along the bottom edge of the rear window, and is very minimal compared to most. All glass in original and in good condition with the exception of a chip in the front windshield center. All electrical works as it should: Original T-3 headlights, tail lights, brake lights, glove box light, horn, dash lights, gauges, oil/generator/temp lights, wipers, wiper squirters, reverse lights, dome light, cigarette lighter, etc. all work as they should. The radio and the clock are the only things that don't currently work. One key works all locks and ignition. All original manuals are included: owners manual, accessories brochure, protect-o-plate, and some other items that came with the car when purchased new. Also included are a set of dog dish hupcaps and the original smog pump equipment. This El Camino is a daily driver and is very pleasant to drive and gets many compliments wherever it goes. I wouldn't hesitate to get in and drive this thing anywhere. Overall this is a very nice original 2 owner survivor and you would be hard pressed to find another in this condition anytime soon. Clear California title included with the sale along with current registration.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06s en route to owners [w/video]

Tue, Dec 2 2014

Pretty much right on schedule, Chevrolet has begun shipping the very first customer examples of its 650-horsepower, supercharged Corvette Z06. In fact, according to General Motors, the earliest Z06s could be in customer hands by the end of this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, manager of Chevy's Bowling Green Assembly plant. "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." Prices for the Z06 start at $78,995 for the hardtop model, while the first-ever Z06 Convertible kicks off at $83,995. Take a look below for the official press release from Chevrolet, and while you're down there, we've slipped in a new video of Corvette Racing's Tommy Milner taking a hot lap of Road Atlanta in a Z06, complete with some Performance Data Recorder footage. First 2015 Corvette Z06s on Their Way to Customers Most capable model in Chevrolet's history now shipping from Bowling Green BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet is now shipping the all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 coupe from Bowling Green Assembly and some early customers could receive the much-anticipated supercar later this week. "It has been an incredible opportunity to work on Chevy's most capable model," said Jeff Lamarche, plant manager of General Motors' Bowling Green Assembly plant, "It truly is an amazing car, and we're thrilled to get them into the hands of our eager customers." The new Corvette Z06 offers the most choice for customers in the model's history. It is the first Z06 to offer an available eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel. In addition, it is the first time since 1963 that the Z06 is available as a convertible – which will arrive in early 2015. The new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm) at 3,600 rpm – making the 2015 Corvette Z06 the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States. To balance performance and efficiency, the LT4 leverages a trio of advanced technologies – direct injection, Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing –with a new, more efficient supercharger. The LT4 helps make the Corvette Z06 the most capable car in the brand's history.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
