 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!  Ok guys, heres one you wont believe, an actual one owner, low mile El Camino. Yes you read that right, one owner, check out the pic of the original title. It shows the mileage at the time it was titled at 3107 with NO previous title number so it must have been a demonstrator car for the dealership in order to have only 3000 miles. This is a great find, these don't come along everyday so don't miss out. This car belonged to an older man since new. The car came out from the factory  with a mahogany metallic color on it but the gentleman said he always wanted a gold El Camino so he had it painted many years ago. It looks to have been a good job back then because inside the doors, hood etc shows very little of the original color showing. The car evidently had no rust at that time because what very little rust that's on the car now is new, nothing coming back from any previous repair. The car has been stored inside a building the whole time he owned it and even after his passing. It has only been out in the weather the last few days. Its been several years since it was licensed and on the road, I think 03 was the last year but not absolutely sure about that. The car was very well taken care of all its life guys, no junk here. The engine I am told is the original 350 it came out with as well as the same for the trans. The engine starts right up and although its a little cold natured from needing the choke adjusted, it sits there and idles smooth and quiet, no lifter noise or any other noise. The trans seems to shift just fine. Ive only run this car on stands in my garage because of no tags or insurance on it and it also needs a complete check up before putting it on the road for a long trip, remember its been in storage awhile. The car has air conditioning but im sure its gonna need charged up but everything is there guys no missing parts at all. This El Camino even still has the old heavy, original catalytic converter on it with single exhaust. The brakes feel pretty for a car that's been sitting a lot as this one has. Probably need gone through before being road worthy. The paint on this car looks worse in the pics that it actually is. The car was clear coated when it had the color change and its coming off quite a bit. There is some light surface rust on the top and some on the hood but nothing major. There is only 2 or 3 rust holes in the body guys and they are very  minor. Theres one in front and one behind the drivers side rear tire. Think there may be another very small hole somewhere but cant remember where. Tried to show everything in the pics so look at them closely. There are a few small area places where there is surface rust but nothing major. What rust holes that are in the car are all since the car was painted gold, nothing repaired prior to that. There are a few small dents and dings as in guessing the old gentleman didn't drive as well in his later years. Nothing major and they would all be an easy fix, check out the pics of these also. The bed floor has some surface rust but don't thing theres any rust through. The floor pans are pretty good, think one has been repaired but it looks to be a good job. The others may have a little rust but are solid. Front fenders are good, doors are good, and only one quarter panel has a very small amount or rust as earlier stated. The bumpers are very straight but have a little chrome peeling. All the lights work also guys. The hood has a small dent on the high spot in the middle of it but nothing major. The passenger side hood hinge is weak and therefore it let the corner come down and crack the windshield but I have a nice used one I will let go with the car. The hood works fine you just have to be careful when opening it. All the other glass is good and work fine. Interior is pretty nice for a 76 model. The pictures show the interior to look black and dirty but its not, its just the way it showed up in the pics. The seat is nice, door panels are pretty good, it has a hard dash cap on it also. Carpet is good driver quality. Headliner is also nice guys. The El Camino has 15 inch rally wheels with all the trim rings and center caps on them. The tires have good tread but have some dry rot. Guys don't miss out on this rare one owner, low mileage El Camino. The car is one that can be driven as you restore it or you can probably have it ready to paint in about 3 days, its that good guys. Checkout the pics, especially the one of the original title that shows it is a one owner. One owner, low miles, don't find these everyday. This car may look rough in some of the pics but it actually is not. The peeling clear coat makes it look bad but that's an easy fix. As stated earlier you could have this car ready for paint in just a few days.. This is a great find so don't miss out. Ask any questions you may have before bidding. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I wilo cancel your bid. I also reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally. The buy it now is very reasonable for a one owner, low mile El Camino. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this rare car.


On May-24-14 at 08:37:29 PDT, seller added the following information:

 Not sure where the 1979 came from on this auction, I cant seem to remove it for some reason but the car is a 1976 El Camino,NOT a 79. Also the frame is in great condition. Left front fender in pic is just scratched not dented as it may appear to some.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.
