1969 EL Camino SS built to drive. 396 was bored 40 over and clearanced for skat stroker crank Making it 462ci, had a 6000rpm balance, , lunati cam, double roller timing chain, custom Ross racing pistons, SFI flex-plate, SFI balancer, hi-flow water pump, Holley 750 race carb, block was decked and 2 degrees on heads, stock oval port heads W/ manley stainless steel valves- 3 angle grind some porting was done. New eagle connecting rods, roller rockers,6 qt oil pan,Bowtie Overdrives 700R4 tranny with shift converter on horse shoe shifter, Huges performance ,TQ converter 3000 stall, MSD 6AL, blaster coil, both hidden in car with a coil wire pass thru connector. 
Full March billet serpentine belts and pulley system as well as a March billet powersteering pump. Electric fuel pump, twin electric cooling fans, complete Hotchkis suspension- sway bars, coils, air bags in rear, adjustable rear upper and lower 
eaton 3:73 gears, 12 bolt posi, Front power disc and rear drums with a vacuum reserve tank. 

Car was painted 8 years ago but only a few chips and some slight bubbling (on lower front fender and corner of door) show IF you look for them! I'd rate paint a solid 8, its PPG deep amethyst pearl, which looks like Fathom blue on deary days but on sunny days the pearl flashes a brilliant violet purple... PPL always comment on color! Bed has a textured roll-on liner that was painted same color as car.  No rust or rot, frame is rock solid, panels are straight, all bright work shines as almost new. Owner before me had new quarters and paint done. He choose to shave marker lights and "SS" badging to give it a sleeper look. He had the car for 23 years, I've had it for 5, no fire sale here I just bought a 3rd classic and can't drive them all. 
Car has ralley wheels with Mickey thompson street drag radials out back. Polished billet piston assist hood hinges, chrome, billet and stainless everywhere. ALL glass was replaced and had a light tint added prior to when I bought car.

I wish I had chosen a lower TQ converter as it being a stroker the power is there from idle. New headers didn't take heat paint well, large oil filter blocked by headers. Two choices, 1) relocation of filter, which I have kit and comes with car, or 2) short filter.
Elky is 98% done in my eyes, the personal touches you may want can still be added. Oh it runs on pump gas, engine has maybe 400 miles never tracked just local shows and cruising on weekends.  always used Zaino wax system, great stuff!

Pics and what I've mentioned are to my best knowledge, I tried to be straight up and honest, I hope someone will enjoy this car for many years. P.S. cluster was changed at some point, actual mileage unknown, DMV miss labeled miles as 608,xxx because the "tenths" of a mile was listed.

Feel free to inquire if you have questions!

I reserve the right to end auction early

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If 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.

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.
