1968 Matador Red With Black Vinyl Top And Interior on 2040-cars
Ardmore, Oklahoma, United States
My third El Camino, and my nicest. Purchased 1 1/2 years ago. Only thing I have done is a tune-up, electronic ignition, and replaced turn-signal parts inside steering wheel. Runs very good. Air-conditioner needs converted to r134a. You can put r12 in, and it blows cold, but soon leaks out. Should not be a major issue. Has spare tire and the original bumper-jack. Also included is the original orange 1968 Oklahoma license plate. Very good tires on Keystone wheels. All chrome in good shape. Engine is 1999 vortec 350 with Edelbrock intake and 600cfm carberator. 200R4 auto transmission with 2500 stall converter and B & M floor shifter. Has a 10-bolt 3:36 rear-end. Have clear title in hand. Tailgate has SS396 emblem on it. It is not, and never was, an SS396. The front fenders have "327" on them. Box of build receipts and pint of touch-up paint included. Please do not bid if you are not serious. This truck is for sale locally, so listing may end at any time.. this is a very nice truck and I am not going to give it away. I do not have to sell it, just have other projects that need my attention. Deposit will not be refunded unless this truck does not meet buyer's expectations. It is my third El, and by far runs and drives the best. . No tire-kickers, please. new battery purchased 12/24/2013. The engine is still breaking in- the longer you drive, the better it runs. IF truck does not sell this time, it will not be re-listed. Very nice El Camino. Also has Kenwood cd player with remote. 2 sets of keys with fobs for remote door locks.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM's MPG overstatement could affect 2 million vehicles
Tue, May 17 2016Late last week, GM admitted that three of its large SUVs fuel economy window stickers did not match their actual efficiency ratings, and so the vehicles couldn't be sold. The stickers on the 2016 Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Buick Enclave said their ratings were one to two miles per gallon better than they should have been. Officially, the number of affected vehicles sits at about 60,000. But Consumer Reports makes a good point: what's up with all of the previous model year SUVs that are basically the same vehicle? To wit: the 2016 model year vehicles are not substantially different than the 2015 or the 2014, or even going all the way back to 2007. On the EPA's fuel economy website, all of these older models will "have better stated fuel economy numbers than the new vehicles in GM's dealerships," Consumer Reports noted. CR's best point, and the one that makes the 60,000 number potentially grow to 2 million if all of the vehicles built on this platform are affected, is that "[i]t seems unlikely that the company would change the powertrain on these carryover models so late in their model cycles in a way that would cause a dramatic, negative impact on fuel economy." GM says that earlier model year SUVs are not affected and the EPA did not respond to CR's question about the potential for more discrepancies. We've seen automakers reverse course before, so if GM has to come out with a mea culpa soon, don't be surprised. GM is rushing corrected stickers to dealers so that the SUVs can be sold again, but a fix for the already-sold vehicles could be trickier to solve.
