Today we have listed for sale a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino - a well loved, highly pampered, mildly customized and super sharp car/truck that is clean, rust free and very nicely done. This is one of two vehicles that we have for sale currently. They both belong to a gentleman who purchased a new 2014 Corvette and he's decided to let a couple of his toys go to help fund it. All of his cars are super nice, and if it needs done, (and sometimes if it isn't necessarily 'needed') it gets done. I will do my best to describe it so that you feel you know it, and to point out any and all problems (darn few). It's hard to show the total story of this pickup in the words I use, but I have added as many pictures as possible - I tried to use pictures that covered the overall feel and look of the car. I use lower resolution so that anyone in the world can download them with relative ease. Please be aware that this car is advertised and for sale locally, nationally and globally, and we do reserve the right to end this auction at any time if the vehicle sells before auction ends. This classic '69 'Camino is definitely for sale and definitely on the money price wise. If you are SERIOUS about the car - please call my cell # 503.580.6225 if I don't answer the first time - try again later - if I am at work I may not be able to answer your call. Please be considerate of the time. This is an amazingly clean turn key car with a ton of money spent on it. Buy it today and be the envy of those who hesititated and missed.

 El Caminos - one of my favorite vehicles - and largely misunderstood. Is it a car? Is it a truck? Truly - they are both. With a full frame underneath, they are one of the most versatile vehicles ever made. A Chevelle / Malibu with a box in back. Good for everything but a back seat, but your Coupe can't haul what this one can! This is only being sold as the current owner has purchased a new 2014 Corvette. He and the previous owner have spent a ton on it - and it's ready for the next owner, who really needs to do nothing but turn the key, keep it cleaned and enjoy it. One thing I can't tell you, that may come up, is was this an SS396 car? The hood and door panels say yes, but the problem is that in 1969 there is no indication in the VIN that is was, or wasn't. I wanted to make that perfectly clear, so we are NOT calling it an SS. I will go through the vehicle and tell you what I do know. The cowl tag tells us that it's a model code 69-1360, a Malibu El Camino. The paint code is 67 67, which denotes the original color as Burgandy upper and lower (never had a vinyl top) Trim code is 755 (black coated fabric) followed by B80 B90 stainless roof drip molding and door window frame molding. The build date code is 05A which denotes first week in May production. The mileage at 09113 is probably 109k, and that's not bad for a 1969 vehicle. Under the hood we find an aluminum head, center bolt valve cover GM Crate ZZ4 350 (see the tag still on the oil pan) whic should be a 355 HP 405 lb/ft torque. The gentleman who originally 'hopped up' this El Camino was a GM parts rep, and had access to all the 'cool' stuff. The current owner added the Vintage Air heat and Air Conditioning setup, as well as the trick serpentine set up with all polished and chromed pulleys, small compressor, power steering pump and alternator - which are all upgraded. I would hazard a guess that there are very few miles on this engine. The carburetor tag reads 1904, and my guess is that it's an Edelbrock Quadrajet carburetor. It looks like, and probably is pretty much new. It has an electric choke. The intake is an Edelbrock Performer Air Gap aluminum set up. The air cleaner on top is a 14 inch K&N. The valve covers are Chrome GM ones. Headers are HPC coated Hooker Super Competition model and they flow into a pretty much new exhaust system with Flowmasters and a nice crossover setup. The sound is healthy, not too rowdy, but you KNOW that something gnarly is under the hood. An HEI distributor and Moroso Spiral Core wires take the spark to the plugs. Battery is brand new, two weeks old, and is an AC Delco Professional Series with 700 Cold Crank amps. There is a battery shut off just to the rear of the battery on the inner fender area. (the inner fenders are both steel, not plastic) This engine is beefy, has a nice cam lope and has gobs of power. The transmission is a Turbo 350 with just a mild shift kit, no hard 'bang' shifts. The differential is 'open', or not a posi. Power steering makes it turn and park easily. The brakes up front are power disc, and drums are out back. There is an upgraded sway bar up front and upgraded gas shocks all around. Wheels are Billet Specialties all around, tires are 225-50R15 up front and 275-50%15 BFG T/A's out back - the tires are like new. The car drives wonderfully - is solid, quiet and squeak/rattle free. Brakes don't pull, nothing funny or funky. You will love the exhaust bark - and sticking your foot in it a bit ever now and again is something you will enjoy doing. It pulls strong, and hard - and it's got lot of 'oomph' to put you back into the seat. This truck is a super nice driver of top quality. Inside, the interior is like new. Headliner, 80/20 loop pile carpets, sill plates, seats, door panels, weatherstrips, dash pad, you name it - it's new. The Vintage air keeps the inside cool when you need it to, and warm when needed as well. There's a Custom Autosound AM/FM/Cassette sending tunes out to a rear cab wall mounted Pioneer amp and into Pioneer 4 way 6x9's. Autometer 'Autogage' guages cover the oil pressure, voltage and temperature, and an Autometer rev limiter type tach covers the R's. The steering wheel is a 'sport type', that looks like factory, but I am not sure it is - and it's like brand new, with a correct vintage era center cap. As mentioned before - the door panels say SS396, but there is no SS insignia on the dash, so we don't think it to be, nor are we claiming it to be an SS. The interior is super clean, never been smoked in, and is like new throughout. One thing I like is that the shifter is the original one, and no aftermarket floor shifter - personally I am not a fan of 'em. You'll just not find any vehicle with a cleaner or nicer interior period. All the glass is good, side windows have been dark tinted (a couple of 'chips' on the tinting) - the windshield has been replaced. No breaks or chips. Outside - the El Camino is super nice again. The paint color is a base clear in a 90's Corvette Torch Red - a great bright red color with little to no orange peel, and a nice deep shine. This paint has been on for about 15 years, maybe a squeak more - so any issues would be making themselves known (there is one set of small bubbles at the bottom of one front fender - see picture) It's got very subtle flames in a purple pearl (some call them ghost flames) and all of the pinstriping has been done by Mitch Kim who is a renowned pinstriper of top quality in a light tangerine orange One Shot. His work is top notch and tasteful - some of the tastiest lines you will ever find. The floor pans are as new - and show no signs of having had any repair ever. Just super nice - and as nice as they come - you can see this in the pictures - nothing covered, nothing hidden - just honest and as the General made them. There is no road salt used in our area EVER, and the sheet metal you will find in our well kept native cars and trucks is as nice as you will find anywhere, and the plastics don't degrade as you might find in a hot, arid and drier climate. The bed cover is a 'BedCover' by Gaylords, it's a hard cover that is hinged in front, gas strut supported and it's lockable. Very nice, and color matched to boot. A rubber bed mat protects the bed floor - and the bed is as nice as it gets for a 45 year old hauler. There is no rust or rot in the bed. The bumpers are either new or have been  really beautifully rechromed, and are both super nice. Trim is all nice, and some has been deleted. You will note that the tailgate has been smoothed, the front side marker lights have been deleted, and the front header panel seams filled. The hood, as mentioned before is the domed SS variety with the chromed grilles in it. The radio antenna has been frenched and is power. Grille is like new.  We have not wahed, detailed, fluffed, buffed or rattle canned the truck in any way - it's just how it's been kept, and kept indoors for the last twenty plus years to boot. This is about as nice as they come for a driver - and the only thing better would be a full time show car. This is simply an awesome truck that you can hop in and drive dependably, cruise, show, daily drive - or just have fun with as you wish. It's an eye catcher and attention grabber and not for those who don't want to start conversations, nor for anyone who wants to be 'low key'. It's as nice as it gets - and I challenge you to find a nicer Camino anywhere at any price.  This truck is better than any stocks or bonds and as good as money in the bank, if not better.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will answer questions to the best of our ability.

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer

Chevy Sail 3 lands in China

Sun, Nov 23 2014

Shanghai General Motors took 32 cars to this year's Guangzhou Motor Show, with its Chevrolet Sail 3 leading the way. After putting almost 1.4 million of them into Chinese hands, the third generation of the Bowtie's entry-level sedan wants to "take the nameplate and the segment to a new level." Its new architecture sporting a 1.4-inch longer wheelbase supports a growth spurt of two inches in length and 1.8 inches in width. The exterior also gets "eagle eye-shaped" headlights and "dual-c-element taillights." Under the hood will be either a 1.5-liter DVVT or a 1.3-liter VVT, each of them more powerful and more frugal than previous offerings. Both can be paired with a manual or an automatic transmission, and qualify for listing in China's National Energy-Saving and Eco-Friendly Vehicle Catalogue, as well as a 3,000 renminbi rebate ($490 US). You can read more about it in the press release below, and get more info on the Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition, Corvette Stingray Coupe, Buick Regal GS and Excelle XT also introduced at the show. Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac Take Center Stage at Guangzhou Auto Show - New Chevrolet Sail 3, Camaro RS Limited Edition and Corvette Stingray Coupe make China debut - Buick showcases customized Regal GS and Excelle XT - Shanghai GM announces new telematics strategy featured in upcoming Cadillac product GUANGZHOU, 2014-11-20 – Shanghai GM is displaying 32 vehicles from the Chevrolet, Buick and Cadillac brands at the 12th Guangzhou International Auto Show, which begins today and runs through November 29 in Guangzhou. Among the products that are making their China debut are the third-generation Chevrolet Sail 3, Chevrolet Camaro RS Limited Edition and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe. In addition, Buick is showcasing a customized Regal GS and Excelle XT, and Shanghai GM is announcing its new telematics strategy that will be featured in an upcoming Cadillac product next year. Chevrolet Sail 3 Entry-Level Family Car Since its introduction 15 years ago, the Sail has been a driving force in the entry-level family car segment. Nearly 1.4 million Sails have been sold across China. The third-generation Chevrolet Sail, named the Sail 3, will take the nameplate and the segment to a new level when it goes on sale nationwide by the end of this year. Built on Shanghai GM's new-generation small car architecture, the Sail 3 has adopted Chevrolet's new design language. It has a sculpted yet slim exterior with a youthful, dynamic feel.
