 Up for auction Is my 1976 Chevy El Camino,  I purchased this last year from the original owner who still had the original title ( I made a color copy of it before sending it in) it had been setting for several years in a barn and started occasionally. After much negotiation he reluctantly sold it to me. Now after completing this pick-up which I enjoy driving, I am reluctantly selling for myself.  It has the original 350  motor with a two barrel carb, carb has been rebuilt, still will need a slight choke adjustment, a turbo 350 trans, It is a number matching car, unmolested. Since I have acquired this fine automobile I have repainted it, new carpet, had the seat reupholstered, new dash cover, new fender and tailgate emblems, new tail light housings, spray in bed liner tinted to match, new plugs,wires, cap and rotor, new vacuum advance, new dual exhaust with trans am tips. I shipped both bumpers to tri-city plating in Elizabethton TN. and had them triple plated they look very nice. I put 8in corvette rally's with new disc brake center caps on it with two new BF Goodrich 245-60-15 on the rear, I had two tires in fairly new condition tires that I decided to use on the front, Futura 245-60-15. The A/C has had the evaporator rebuilt and the system was recharged with the factory R 12 refrigerant. Heat and air work very well. It does not have a radio in it, I have the original radio which does not work. Now this is not a show car, it is a driver. it is not perfect and has its flaws, I built it for a shop truck and did not want it to be perfect, it was intended for a daily driver and I drive it almost daily and will continue to drive until the first bid is placed. My future plans would include hood hinges, new window rubbers and fuzzies, door rubbers, new lenses, stainless trim, some touch up on the paint and some buffing. As of right now it is perfect for what I use it for. This is a RESERVE AUCTION with NO WARRANTY written or implied. Bidders are welcome and encouraged to inspect for themselves. Please do not bid if there is any possible way you can not complete transaction! A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs of auction close via paypal and balance in cash within 7 days of auction close. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. Bidders may call between the hours of 7am-9pm est at 919-548-1791. Thank you for your consideration and good luck, Toby

I have just added dash pics that were requested, dash cover fits very snug and is not glued because I was not happy with color. I have been searching for the dye to darken it a little or either to find one the color I wanted. I will include the glue that came with cover. Also I have had questions about the engine, engine has not been rebuilt just the carb, engine does have typical smoke when started it is not horrible, typical chevy valve seals. I drove it again this morning and ran very well. Any questions feel free to call.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.
