My ElCamino has many, many miles on it, and, over the years most all vital parts have either been replaced , repaired or rebuilt. Presently the only, MAJOR, problem with it is that it refuses to upshift into High gear. The basics are all in drivable , functioning condition. it has many small ailments as it has seen so many miles. I am the second owner of this vehicle. The first owner was a building contractor and used it in his business. The truck drives and handles VERY well , when the transmission allowed of course. The engine runs strong, but needs to be refreshed. The rear end has been replaced , and functions as desired. The steering feels very solid and smooth. The Body has some dents which have been worked on, and are presently primered as can be seen in the pictures. Not all gauges are working and the interior needs some TLC, however the dash and seats are in pretty fair condition. The tires are in GREAT condition. It comes with it's 5 ORIGINAL and SOUGHT AFTER RALLY WHEELS, a spare bumper, and spare side chrome trim pieces. If the transmission was still functioning properly, I would still be driving this Truck to work daily as I was prior to the transmission "giving me gas". I have a total of five automobiles and am looking at another one to purchase. I don't have the time or desire to restore this one which is what I usually do, and this ElCamino could be restored to a BEAUTY and even into a SHOW CAR. It IS a perfect candidate for a restoration. It would easily be driven onto a transportation Trailer or truck. I have it on Non -Op, so the buyer will be responsible for smogging and re-registering it. I will in NO WAY contribute to transporting it, that's up to the buyer. I offer NO WARRANTY on this vehicle. I will ONLY accept payment of a deposit of $500., through Paypal, IMEDIATELY, at the end of the sale., with the entire balance being paid IN CASH at the time truck is picked up. The vehicle MUST BE PAID FOR IN FULL AND PICKED UP WITHIN 10 DAYS of the end of the sale, or the sale will be null and void and no part of the deposit will be refunded. All sales are final and and AS IS. At pick up time, I will refund the deposit amount, through Paypal , if you are not satisfied that the truck is AS I've described. I have ALL POSITIVE FEEDBACKS on 303 transactions, so I can be trusted. I WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER doing business with ANY BIDDERS/BUYERS outside of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, so please don't waste any of my time or yours. I have this vehicle advertised for sale locally , so I RESERVE the right to cancel this ad without notice.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
