1972 Chevy El Camino Loaded Big Block Classic-vintage-project Car on 2040-cars
Union, West Virginia, United States
|
Up for bids is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino that was an original factory big block car. There is no engine or transmission with this car, body only. This car is very rare and unique because of its factory options and the condition it is in. This car has been in inside storage since around 2002. Before that it was stripped and sprayed with an epoxy or etching primer. It has had both quarter panels replaced at about the same time. Guys you will not believe this cars condition till you see it with your own eyes. Underneath this car is O rust. that's right, no rust. The floors, frame, braces under the bed etc are all very, very solid. Its unbelievable for a car this age to be this rust free. If youre looking for the right car to restore don't miss out on this one. On top of no rust underneath, to make it even more rare and appealing its loaded with options not found everyday on a 1972 El Camino. It has a 12 bolt rear, front power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, actual cowl induction hood and a tilt steering column. You don't find all this on one car very often. The front clip was removed when I got the car but most parts are there to put it back as a complete car as it should be. Right off I see missing are as follows, hood hinges, front bumper brackets, one inner fender,and I think theres supposed to be a filler panel that goes between the grille and bumper missing. There may be some trim pieces also missing but I have a lot of it. The doors are very nice except I think theres a very small rust spot on the lower corner of the drivers door, very small, think theres a pic of it. Bottoms of the doors are great as are the door jams and rocker panels. The front fenders are good but I think someone replaced the bottom of one of them, not rusted through but they have replaced it with a new section, its done nicely. The cowl induction hood seems very solid also. I do not have the original induction air cleaner assy but there available aftermarket reasonable. The radiator support is there and appears to be very solid and it has the AC condenser still attached to it. Both bumpers are very, very nice driver quality. Bed floor is solid also. Tailgate looks bad in pic but its just where the paint has come off over time, it is absolutely solid also. Looking inside this car it is is upper driver quality all through although to be nice it needs updated. The head liner has a hole in it from my guess is from a mouse making a new home. The seat needs some attention but its NOT all ripped up, just needs recovered. Same for carpet, ok but needs replaced to be nice. The door panels are very, very nice driver quality, not perfect but nice. The dash pad I think is perfect, don't see that very often on a 72 model. Also the dash has NOT been all butchered up to add accessories as most of them have been done. There is a small gauge panel on the bottom of the dash but easily removed with no damage visible. The tilt column is good and tight and it has a SS wheel on it. Actually the complete interior of this car could be useable with only a good cleaning. Forgot to mention, this car has a pretty nice SS grille with it also. Don't know what else to say about this El Camino so email me with your questions or concerns. If your in the market for a super nice, super solid, original big block El Camino to restore do not miss out on this one. This solid of a car doesn't come along everyday. The buy it now price is more than fair for a car in this condition with the options it has. This is way better than buying a cheap rust bucket and have to replace every panel on it. Check out my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. I require a $500 deposit at auctions end and the car can sit here awhile as long as its paid for in full. I will work with you or a shipper to get it loaded. This car has a clean clear title. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel you bid. PLEASE do not bid if you are not serious about completing the deal should you be the winning bidder. This costs money and time. Also the car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally. Look over the pics, ask any questions you may have. If its not in the pics, I don't have it guys. There are pictures of everything so please keep that in mind. Not a lot missing other than what was mentioned in the listing. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this rare, well optioned 1972 El Camino.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'
Tue, Apr 28 2020Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24. The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series. Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz. View this post on Instagram Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
