This Van Nuys-built, rust-free, no hit 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom V8 w/original A/C, P/B, and P/S was owned by an elderly piano teacher in Texas for 40 years and driven sparingly. I acquired it three years ago from his estate.

Originally a Custom 350ci/TH350, the engine block was replaced before I got it but otherwise it was very original, rust-free, and in very good condition. With the original engine gone, I had a GM Mark IV 454, GM stock grind flat tappet cam, new Holley 4bbl, TH400, and 12 bolt rear end w/3.31 highway gears professionally installed and completely restored the rest of the car inside and out. The undercarriage is rust-free and untouched (except for painting the outer frame rails for aesthetics).

I had it professionally repainted in the original astro blue (GM code 25), converted the interior from blue to black, refurbished the dash w/OEM dash pad, new bench seat foam and covers, complete new suspension (bushings, springs, rear air shocks, hi po sway bars front and rear), front disc brake conversion, new power booster and master cylinder, Flowmaster 2.5" exhaust w/H pipe and chrome tips w/correct GM big block exhaust manifolds, new American Racing polished aluminum SS style wheels and new BFG RWL tires (235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear).

All stainless is original and in very good condition. I did not reinstall the wheel opening trim because in my opinion the body looks cleaner without it. The original wheel opening trim (rears unmarked and fronts with minor dings) goes with the car.

New carpet; Holley 4bbl carb; in-dash OEM style tach; battery, cables and cut-off switch; Goodmark cowl induction hood, emblems, pins and lanyards; HD four core radiator, 7 blade fan, severe duty fan clutch, and added coolant reservoir (she runs cool in any weather), weatherstripping; Autosound digital OEM style AM/FM/Aux radio (original AM Delco radio goes with the car). All A/C equipment is original, new hoses, and is functional but needs a recharge. GM space saver spare installed in the cabin for more space and lighter weight; the jack is original.

I did not refinish the bed because I use this as a parts hauler and left it as I got it. Were I to keep this El Camino, I would Linex or Rhino line the bed for utility purposes.

This El Camino has approx 400 break-in miles and runs flawlessly. She idles all day long at 650 rpm and runs w/highway traffic at 65 mph tacking approx. 2500 rpm. I would not hesitate to drive her any distance. I am reluctantly selling this El Camino due to lack of space given two ongoing 1966 Corvette restorations.

I have easily $30,000 in this El Camino. California tags paid through August, 2014.

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids

Mon, Dec 28 2015

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
