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.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
