1978 El Camino Ss on 2040-cars

Year:1978 Mileage:129760
Location:

Wilmington, Delaware, United States

Wilmington, Delaware, United States

Interior is in very good condition, has a Pioneer AM / FM / Cassette Stereo, with Radio Shack rear speakers. Springs, Shocks and Trailer Hitch are almost new, they came off my 86 El Camino. Comes with set of studded snow tires on the rims., Stainless Steel brake lines from Pro-Tube, custom 7 piece set still new in the box.  
Car is being sold "AS IS". 

Excellent project car, I don't have a lot of information on it, I bought it a couple years ago to restore but the guy I bought it from didn't know anything about it's history either. The body is in pretty bad shape with rust in all the normal places. Most of the rust is towards the rear, the quarter panels may need to be replaced.  I see a couple little holes in the bed, I hadn't noticed them before but  I have kept it covered for most of the 3 + years I've had it so maybe they were under the bed liner and I just hadn't notice them. 

I will try to answer any questions, but this is an "As Is" project car, I really don't want to sell it but I have too many projects and too many cars.  I am not going to take it apart to find out what gears are in it or what is stamped on the block. I just don't have the time, sorry.  
I think this is going to make an excellent car and that someone is going to get very lucky, again I just don't have the time to do everything. 

Motor would appear to be a Goodwrench crate motor, valve covers say 350 but it could be a 305. I drove the car home when I bought it. My intention was to get the body work and under carriage issues done and then rebuild and stroke the engine or put a crate 5.7 HO engine in it before it got the final paint. 

After I checked everything out I decided to fix the brake lines, do a tune up and clean up the wiring so that if I had to drive it to anywhere for any reason it would be running and safe. When I was doing the tune up, I didn't like the way they had rigged up the plug on the distributor cap so I pulled all the wiring off and rewired the plug. Apparently when I had the distributor cap off addressing the plug I missed the ground connection from the ignition module.  It wasn't firing after I replaced the cap and wires so I opted to wait to troubleshoot it until I had a little more time.  Long story short when I found the time, a year later, the battery was dead so it should still run with no other real issues but again I don't have the time to repair it and if I did make the time, the price of the car would at least triple.  

Rear view mirror needs to be glued back on. There's no battery and when I went out to check the mileage I noticed the knob on window crank is missing.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

Evatran, Bosch will sell wireless home charger for as low as $1,998*

Mon, Jan 6 2014

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the big news for plug in vehicles is that they can now start to ditch the plug. As expected, the system costs around $3,000 and is available for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. For the first 250 customers, though, Evatran is offering $1,000 off the standard price, a 30 percent discount. Deliveries start next month and Evatran says it expects the discounted units to all be snatched up in the first half of the year. The wireless charger charges as quickly as conventional corded systems. Called the Plugless Wireless EV charger, the 240-volt station will be installed by Bosch and needs a specific adapter to be used with the Volt or the Leaf (the Leaf version costs $100 more). So, any two-EV families out there will need to pony up double if there's a Chevy and a Nissan in the garage. Of course, since the Plugless system only works with older Leafs (2010-2012 model years - but with any Volt), any late adopters will not be able to take advantage of the new technology, for now. Evatran says the wireless charger "charges the Volt and Leaf as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the Plugless system." After the first 250 units, standard prices for the wireless chargers take effect again: $2,998 (Volt) and $3,098 (Leaf). Evatran says it will announce wireless chargers for additional vehicles and model years later this year. Evatran and Bosch offer Promotional Pricing as low as $1,998 to first 250 PLUGLESS™ Wireless EV Charging Customers LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), in partnership with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that it is offering reduced promotional pricing to the first 250 customers who opt to Go PLUGLESS with their electric vehicle ("EV") experience. The PLUGLESS system offers a convenient, wireless charging alternative to the repetitive process of unplugging and plugging-in electric vehicles. The reduced pricing includes all charging hardware and is as much as a 30% discount off the system's standard MSRP. The discount is available only to the first 250 customers. Initial shipments of the PLUGLESS system, the first wireless EV charging product in the world available to individual EV drivers, will begin in February 2014.
