WE ARE SELLING OUR 1969 EL CAMINO. I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CAR HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY. WHILE YOUR READING THIS AND CONJURING UP A MENTAL IMAGE, THINK "NICE DRIVER". ITS NOT A REAL SS. I JUST ADDED THE BADGES FOR LOOKS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST (IN MY MIND ANYWAY)....THIS IS A CAR YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT HAS NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS. WE DRIVE IT TO CRUISE INS 100 MILES ROUND TRIP ALL THE TIME. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR RATTLE. IT TRACKS AND STOPS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.
BODY AND PAINT : A 7 OR 8 ITS STRAIGHT BUT IF YOU LOOK REAL LOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS FOR INSTANCE YOU CAN SEE SOME SLIGHT BUBBLING. ITS NOT BAD AND HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT BUT ITS THERE. THE PAINT IS SMOOTH AS A NEW CAR PAINT. NOT MIRROR LIKE A SHOW CAR, BUT CERTAINLY NICE. NO BIG SCRATCHES ETC. SS 396 HOOD HAS BEEN ADDED ALONG WITH THE RED SS STRIPE. A NOTE ON THE CLOSEUP PICTURE OF THE WHEEL: THE REFLECTION OF ME THE TREES AND WHATEVER ELSE MAKES THE BODY ABOVE THE MOULDING LOOK DORKED UP. I ASSURE YOU ITS NOT.
UNDERCARRIAGE. NICE AND SOLID FRAME. LIKE YOUD EXPECT FOR A WELL MAINTANED VEHICLE OF ITS AGE. ITS NOT CONCOURS BUT ITS NOT A RUSTED CLUSTER EITHER.
GLASS: ALL GOOD. ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD. SOME SCRATCHES ON ONE OF THE WING WINDOWS. SLIGHT WIPER HAZE ON WINDSHIELD. NOT TOO BAD BUT ITS THERE.
THE MILEAGE ON IT IS I THINK 69000 OR SO, I CANT PROVE IT BUT IM THINKING IT MIGHT BE RIGHT. IM NOT SURE ITS GONE AROUND ONCE. ID SAY BETTER THAN 50 50 ITS ACTUAL. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS WORK GAS GAUGE. AFTERMARKET GUAGES UNDER DASH.
DRIVETRAIN: 350 350 OBVIOUSLY REBUILT. (NOT BY ME) RUNS AND SHIFTS AS NEW. CHOKE WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD ETC. HEADERS AND DECENT EXHAUST. I THINK ITS THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANS, BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE.
INTERIOR: STOCK APPEARING. NEWER CARPET AND DOOR PANELS ETC. SEAT I THINK IS ORIGINAL AND ITS NICE. HEADLINER REPLACED. ORIGINAL BELTS. AFTERMARKET CD STEREO WITH PIONEER SPEAKERS. DASH PAD ISNT CRACKED. ID SAY AN 8. OH YEA THE DOME LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. DASH ISNT BUTCHERED.
FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES WORK AS GOOD AS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR. ALL THE LIGHTS BRIGHTS BLINKERS HORN WORK AS IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY STATE INSPECTED. NOT AN EASY TASK TO PASS WITH AN OLDER CAR HERE.
THE BED IS NICE NICER THAN MOST IT HAS SOME WEAR BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT HAD RIP RAP ROCK HAULED IN IT. THE COVER IS NEWER AND REALLY WELL FIT AND MADE.
THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS AND TAILGATE ARE SOLID. THE CHROME. ITS ORIGINAL;. ITS NOT BAD BUT ITS GOT SOME AGING. ITS NOT BAD AND THE CAR SHOWS REALLY WELL. HOWEVER NEW BUMPERS AND MAYBE DOORHANDLES WOULD REALLY ADD TO THE EYEBALL. ITS THE WORST PART OF THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN ITS NOT BAD . ALSO ALL THE BED TRIM IS ON IT. ITS NOT MISSING PARTS ETC. THE BUMPERS ARENT ALL DINGED UP JUST THE CHROME IS TIRED IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY.
RADIATOR IS A BIG BLOCK RADIATOR. ROCK SOLID 190 I DONT CARE HOW HOT OUT IT IS. BATTERY IS NEWER. ALL THE HOSES AND ALL THOSE TYPE ITEMS ARE GOOD.
TIRES AND WHEELS NEW COKER REPROS. RED LINE BIAS PLY. EXPENSIVE BUT IT MADE THE CAR REALLY POP AND ADDS THE CORRECT PEROID LOOK. EMBLEMS I ADDED ARE NEW.
WHY AM SELLING IT? A: TO MAKE A PROFIT IF IM NOT CAREFUL AND GO ON THE "HUNT" AGAIN .
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT HERES THE DEAL...ITS A GOOD CAR. WE GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE CAR. IT HAS REALLY GOOD STANCE AND EYEBALL. PLUS IT RUNS GOOD AND HAS BEEN DEPENDABLE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. A PERFECT ENTRY LEVEL OLD CAR FOR MAYBE A YOUNGER GUY TO PLAY WITH AND LEARN. EASY TO WORK ON. PEOPLE PASS UP EXPENSIVE HOTRODS AT THE CRUISE AND STOP AT OUR CAR. ITS CRAZY BUT IT HAPPENS . AGAIN....ITS A DRIVER / LOCAL CAR SHOW VEHICLE. ITS NOT A TURD, ITS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH ENTRY. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. EVERY CAR IVE SOLD THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY CAMPERS. THAT BEING SAID, IM NOT GUARANTEEING IT PAST MY DRIVEWAY. ID LET MY LOVED ONES DRIVE IT . IT HAS GOOD BONES. THATS WHY I BOUGHT IT.
I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE. PLEASE....I WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN ...BUT I CANT STAND TIRE KICKING BS. MAKE SURE THE WIFE KNOWS, YOU HAVE THE MONEY, ETC BEFORE YOU START IN ON IT. DONT BE "THAT GUY" ITS PRICED RIGHT. WERE NOT UNDER FINANCIAL STRESS (THANK THE LORD) SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM GOING LOW BALL. I WONT EVEN RESPOND TO IT. I DONT MIND DRIVING IT AROUND FRANKLY.
IF YOU WANT TO SHIP IT THATS FINE . YOURE PAYING FOR IT. I WILL MAKE SURE IT GETS ON A TRUCK SAFELY. THE CAR OR ITS TITLE (WHICH IS IN OUR NAME) ARENT LEAVING HERE UNTIL ITS ALL PAYED FOR AND CLEARED. PERIOD.

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV
Sat, May 30 2015Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
