Up For Sale is my 1972 Chevy El Camino this is my daily driver I'm the second owner of a all original Dry California Car. I started a body on restoration about 2 years ago starting with tuning up the engine and adding electronic ign , new Edelbrock Carb 650 cfm, Performer manifold , new belts and radiator hoses, new alternator new water pump and fan clutch. Rebuilt 350 Trans new U Joints and balanced the drive shaft, brake job all around, new upper A arm bushings, Idler arm assy,tie rod end inner, tie rod end outer on passenger side and wheel seals. 4wheel alingment she goes down the road straight. New Glass Packs and Chrome Tips. 15x8" Cragars Rear and 15x7" Cragars Front Goodyear tires all around good tread. The interior has been stripped it needs new door panels, headliner and the seat covered, I have installed a new factory carpet kit myself looks great. The dash pad is cracked from heat and I installed a gauge package over the original radio also new door rubber seals. The exterior has been stipped down to bare metal two lower front fender patch panels installed. The rear quarter's on both side have had body work done at one time looks like it had backed into something at tail light level. There is a hole in the top of the cab from a antenna from a CB radio. I replaced the tail gate as the old one had a crease in it. She smokes just a little when starting but doesn't use oil I figure it's valve seals from sitting for some time before I got her . Looks like the original engine , trans and Posi rear end to the El Camino . It's an AC car with the original R-12 I replaced the POA valve and installed a new dryer to the system recharged with R-12 and she ran cool then slowly leaked out I figure it's the large upper hose that's leaking. There is minor rust on the floor behind the drivers seat only not real bad but it shoud be addressed ,the rear window base had rust from a canopy that was installed when the car was new, I cut it out and replaced with a new heavyier gage piece but haven't finished welding it in. The rear window is just siliconed in temporary so I could drive I have all the rear window moldings that are not shown also I was cloneing a 72 SS Body and have drilled the front fenders for SS emblems and welded the holes for lower body moldings . All in All it's a great old El Camino Drive it any where I've just lost interest and short on funds to finish her up. Ask any and all questions before you bid I'll be glad to answer.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.
