 1979 Chevrolet El Camino for sale.  RUNS-DRIVES-STOPS excellent.  DRIVE IT ANYWHERE!

This car was restored about 5 years ago at a cost of about $9500.  This included NEW PAINT, tires, NEW ENGINE, NEW TRANSMISSION, u-joints, brakes, bearings, suspension bushings, left outside mirrors, and a few other items.  The interior is original, but needs headliner, seat cover, dash cover, and door panel work.  Headliner plastic is EXCELLENT.  Power steering and brakes are EXCELLENT.  The AC is non working.  Radio is factory mono speaker and sounds about like you would expect.  Tilt wheel good.  Cruise control switch broken-don't know if it works but its all there.  Color- keyed rally wheels with  3 aftermarket centers.  Glass is very good with no cracks or chips.

Engine is the RARE base 200 cubic inch V6 and a Turbo 350 transmission.  Both have been rebuilt.  Non numbers matching.  Engine runs GREAT!

The monocoat paint is very good factory code 54 Light Yellow.  Its not perfect.  Body has a small dent near the gas door but there are no other dents in the body anywhere.  Absolutely no scratches either.

Front bumper is good.  The rear bumper is straight but needs rechroming.  Left taillight broken (sorry, did that with my golf shoe).  Right rear floor has a 6'x6' rust hole from a long ago leaking rear window.  The rest of the body EXCELLENT and RUST FREE.  Bed is in EXCELLENT condition and is one of the few not to suffer from a bed liner application.


The mileage shows 93836.  I have no idea if this is accurate.

Local inspection is recommended.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
