ORIGINAL "SURVIVOR"-CLASS AUTOMOBILE ! NUMBERS-MATCHING 2-OWNER SUPER SPORT ! V8, 4-SPEED, POSITRACTION 305 ! THEY'RE ONLY ORIGINAL,ONCE ! This numbers-matching V8 4-speed positraction el Camino Super Sport is an unmolested, factory-stock, 2-owner classic! The drivetrain is untouched, has never required mechanical repair and still wears it's factory light blue engine paint. And it runs like the day it was delivered! It has only been driven 49,546 miles since leaving the assembly line, it's practically new! The M20 4-speed shifts smoothly without any problems, and the smooth, noise-free 3.08 positraction rear axle keeps the rear wheels from spinning and losing traction. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW AN ORIGINAL, UN-MOLESTED 4-SPEED EL CAMINO FOR SALE??? This car shines in it's original metallic brown paint with black lower accent and factory tri-color tape stripes. While the paint is exceptional for its age and shows the great care taken of the vehicle, there are some small chips present around the exterior and one small surface rust spot. The rust spot is at the bottom edge of the passenger-side quarter window on the horizontal surface (see photo). There is no other rust or rot on the vehicle, anywhere, other than mild underbody surface rust typical of a road-driven vehicle. This car WAS driven in the rain and rarely in light snow when the owner was caught away from home, but there is NO rust or rot-through condition anywhere. See the photos. The interior has no rips or stained spots, the seats look almost new, the headliner is intact and looks like new, there are no tears on the door panels and the carpet is not stained and ripped and is only slightly/modestly worn. The dash pad is PERFECT, no splits or gouges. Also, the door panels have a horizontal stripe of what appears to be a medium brown vinyl dye; the original owner states the car came this way from the dealer. Best guess is that the dealer attempted to "jazz up" the interior by adding these dyed areas to the door panels as no record or photos have been found showing this feature as a factory-available option. See the photos. These dyed sections do need to be re-sprayed as the original coating has worn off in areas. This Super Sport el Camino was built at GM's Doraville, GA assembly plant on or about October 20, 1978 and delivered to the dealer, Sunderland Chevrolet (dealer no. 49-580) in Lemoyne, PA and was sold to its first retail purchaser on February 12, 1979. The buyer had the dealer remove the factory AM radio and install an AM/FM radio in its place (original AM radio comes with the car) and a below-bumper trailer hitch and 4-plug wiring. The buyer was a married couple and the vehicle was mostly driven by the wife in short distances to work and shopping. The original condition of the vehicle testifies as to how well it was taken care of during their ownership. The Seller purchased the el Camino as its second owner in November 2011; it is owned under a clear, signed Pennsylvania title from the original, owner and a notarized Bill of Sale. This is a numbers-matching, documented history, factory original, low-mileage "Survivor" vehicle. It cannot be overemphasized how unique this makes this el Camino. If you love Chevy el Caminos and appreciate the increased value of a low-mileage 4-speed V8 no-rust car in the collector world , this is the car for you. Except for normal maintenance items and a new stock exhaust system, this vehicle is just the way it was delivered from the original Chevrolet dealer. As is somewhat typical, the a/c system is not currently operating; all components are present, but according to the original owner the compressor bearings got noisy so he had the drive belt removed; supposedly the system is charged with original refrigerant and just needs the bearing replaced or a rebuilt compressor. Serious buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle. Please call 508-869-6670 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT, to arrange an inspection time or to ask any questions. The vehicle is located in central Massachusetts, near Worcester, MA, about 50 miles west of Boston. The Buyer is responsible for pickup and delivery of the vehicle and any taxes due on its purchase. This is a "Reserve Price" auction. The vehicle is for sale locally so this auction may end without notice or recourse to bidders if purchased prior to the auction end date/time. The Seller reserves the right to cancel bids from any bidder determined to be unable to complete the purchase. PLEASE, do not bid if you do not have the cash available to complete your purchase of this vehicle. A $1,000. desposit shall be due within 24-hours after the close of this auction via Paypal. The balance of the winning bid shall be paid in cash, by wire transfer, or bank treasurer's/cashier's check deposited AND cleared by the Seller's bank prior to delivery of the vehicle and transfer paperwork.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting
Mon, Aug 20 2018With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

Is your new-car warranty good at the race track?
Mon, Feb 27 2017We've all heard the horror stories. Your buddy knows a girl that was dating a guy whose best friend's brother once broke his brand-new, recently purchased performance car while making runs at a drag strip or laps at a track day, and the manufacturer wouldn't cover the repair under warranty. True story? Urban legend? Complete crap? Yes, no, maybe. One thing's for sure: Automotive warranties have always come with caveats. In 1908, an ad in the Trenton Evening Times clearly stated: "All Ford Cars Guaranteed for One Year." Although it changed over time, by 1925 the Ford New Car Guarantee only covered 90 days on material and 30 days on labor, and it clearly stated that that there was "No guarantee whatever on Fan Belts, Glass, Bulbs, Wiring, Transmission, Bands, Hose Connections, Commutator Shells, Rollers, Spark Plugs or Gaskets." Whether or not Ol' Henry would pay to fix your Model T if you broke it shaving a tenth off your lap time at the local board track seems to be lost to history. We're guessing no. But what about today? Do new-car warranties in 2017 cover cars when they are driven on race tracks? We researched the warranties of 14 auto brands to find out, and the answer is yes, no, maybe, depending on the brand, in some cases the model, and whether or not your car is modified from stock. Acura has been out of the high-performance car game for a number of years, but jumps back into the party in 2017 with its hybrid-powered $173,000 NSX supercar. And Acura's warranty, as well as Honda's, clearly states that it does not cover "the use of the vehicle in competition or racing events." View 33 Photos So we asked Sage Marie, Senior Manager of Public Relations for Honda and Acura. "If the car is stock, the warranty covers it on a track just as it does on the street. No question," he told us. "However, if the car is modified, say with slick tires or other components that would put higher stresses on the vehicle's parts and systems, then we would have to investigate the circumstances further." Marie went on to say the same would be true for any Acura model or Honda vehicle, including the new 2017 Honda Civic Si. This became a common theme. Chevrolet actually started this practice with the fifth-generation Camaro on the high-performance ZL1 and Z/28 models.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
