Email me at : JamesTrappe91hdx2f16@yahoo.com 1968 Chevy El Camino. This is a west coast Chevy from Washington state. It is avery solid car with a nice straight body. The car starts right up with no smokeor noises and runs good. Vin decodes as follows... 1= Chevy Custom El Camino V8 (Model - Series)80= Two Door Sedan Pick Up(Body Style)8= 1968 (Model Year)B= Baltimore MD. (Assy. Plant)The last six= Thesequential Production Numbers.In 1968 Chevy made 41791 El Caminos +/-Only 26690were Custom El Camino V8s like this one. 5190 Were SS El Caminos and the restwere -Standard El Caminos- with a 6 cyl. or 8 Cyl. engine.This is a greatdriver. I drive the car a few times a month without issue. The door jambs andengine bay are gloss black already, I just like the way it looks now andwherever I go people always say No Way don't paint the car... So this ishow I've driven it the last couple summers. I know everyone has differenttastes so if you did want the gloss black paint job with white stripes, thejambs have already been painted. It also has a very nice original steel cowlhood installed if you wanted to make a SS tribute car. Washington state platesthat came on the car when I bought it are included as well as other Washingtonstate info. It has the old two into one exhaust that I had planned on replacingwith headers and a dual exhaust system. It also has one seam that needs to bere-stitched on the original headliner and a new windshield wiper switch. Justsome little stuff that still needs attention but I wanted to point these thingsout to everyone. This is a very solid and honest old Chevy. If your wonderingwhy the picture shows the car with a Michigan plate on it it's because itwas the only plate I had that said 1968 on it so I put it on there for thepictures! Thanks for taking the time to check out my car and if you have anyquestions I will be glad to help.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
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.
