Do not bid unless you have the money !!! I require $500 paypal in 24 hours.  Don't e mailme asking how much.  Make a offer for but it now.  If I agree you get it.  Simple don't have time to waste 

 

           I am offering my 1979 Chevy El Camino "Candy O".  I am the proud owner of this vehicle for now 10 years!  This was a FRAME OFF RESTORATION done 4 years ago.  I am going to explain the detail but I could write for days so again call or e-mail with questions.

   Car is an original V8/Th350 automatic.  I installed a 1971 Camaro 307 V8 4 years ago.  The mileage on the engine at that point in time was about 55k.  The guy with camaro put in 600+hp engine and had no use for original engine.  This was a score for me.  The engine was a virgin as they come.  Rated at 9.1 Compression and 200hp it is more powerful that the typical 1980's 350 and superior over the 140hp 305's of the same time period!  I installed HEI ignition as well as a 1980 Corvette Rochester 4 barell mated to an Edlebrock proformer intake backed  by $1000.00 of pypes dual exhaust and ceramic headers!  Going easy pushing 240 HP if not better. ZERO running issues at all.  I put at least 35,000k on it since I installed the engine.  The point in case is the car didn't sit around.  I used it again and again!

       The transmission is a Th350 3 speed automatic.  I had this rebuilt by a professional trans shop in NJ.  MAYBE if it has 10k on it that would be a lot. The complete front end was rebuilt, all new upper/lower conrol arm bushings, springs all around, new calipers, brake drums, master cylinder.  EVERY SINGLE BRAKE LINE was replaced BRAND NEW. YES EVERY LINE.... BRAND NEW (7 out of 10 G Body GM cars have time bomb brake lines ticking away waiting to explode and leave you stranded). All new flex hoses.

     The body was removed from the chassis and I replaced the whole chassis with a perfect rot free one! (The prior chassis was rotted in 3 places)  ALL NEW BODY MOUNTS WERE INSTALLED. AM/FM CD player, speakers in box behind seat.

       The bottom of the car is just about new. NO HOLES IN FLOORS. NO HOLES IN BODY.Bottom of the car painted in satin black 4 years ago.  The rear end was rebuilt and 3.42 gears were installed.  It has massive acceleration power from a standstill. Most lazy rear ends were 2.41 2.73 in these cars.   NO WIRING ISSUES WHATSOEVER.  Everything works, all lights, horn, heater.  It is a FACTORY STYLE NO A/C car. (included but not shown in photos is a complete A/C unit I saved from another car of same vintage as well as many other misc odd items I have hoarded away, trim, mechanical, etc- There is a street value in these items alone. All goes with car upon sale)The bed will be loaded with all extra parts for new owner to keep or sell.

      The paint was stripped to the bare metal and car is painted with basecoat/clear Diamont products (not cheap ).  Bumpers are like new, the only defect I want to mention is some surface paint bubbles in both front corners of the doors.  THE DOORS ARE NOT ROTTED! They are solid as a rock.  This is common in this 78-88  G body cars as that is where moisture collects.  If this is offensive to you $500 addition will correct it before you take the car.  If not you take it as is. I have ZERO to hide and most would not even mention it.  It's not even that bad I am honest seller and don't have time to waste by telling stories.

        I live in NY 10920. Car is also for local sale.  Listing may end at any given time.  IF you want the car come view in person if need be.  If you bid on it from far away, know and understand that bid is contract.  I don't want to deal with confused people who don't have the money or bid for the purpose of their entertainment.  The car is well worth $10,000 if not better.  My RESERVE IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT.  I don't owe this car a nickel.  It's been with me ten years. I am bailing out and calling it a day.  FAR MORE IN IT THAT IT'S ACTUAL VALUE.

    Terms of sale are as follows. $500 pay pal deposit no more than 24 hours after end of auction.  If you DO NOT HAVE IT, DO NOT BID.  The rest cash in hand, bank check, or direct deposit.  I am not going to ACCEPT PAY PAL as payment of car, if that is your intention do business elsewhere.  This isn't a part, this is a vehicle.  A vehicle I am giving away, so let's make this transaction quick and to the point. The full amount is due no more than 7 days after the end of auction.  All non paying bidders will be reported. Please be serious and back up your bid for the fairness of others.

    Car is AS/IS, WHERE IS in NY 10920.  Buyer is responsible for all transport fees to their home.  Come pick up and drive home after paid in full. I have a CLEAN NY tittle in my name.  It is the ownership of the vehicle.

   Do your homework.... $1500-3000 or so buys you junk.  You will put more into something you buy for that price. I did all the work for you, find the money. This is worth it.  I have others at a local level who dream about this so I'm just waiting on an educated cash offer and it leaves my life.... time waits for no one.... no favorites.

          Thanks for reading.....

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites

Sun, Jan 7 2024

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
