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.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Mark Reuss: GM can't afford product 'misses,' has 'thought about' CT6 V-Series
Thu, Apr 9 2015Mark Reuss is a busy man. He oversees General Motors' global product portfolio, an all-encompassing task for a company that sold more than 9.9 million cars and trucks last year. When GM launches a well-received product, like the road-going rocket ship that is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – he gets credit. When the company stumbles with the slow-selling Chevy Malibu or grapples with fallout from the decade-old Saturn Ion and its flawed ignition switch, he gets blamed. GM owners, the press and sometimes the federal government, demand answers. Bob Lutz famously held the job before Reuss. So did Mary Barra, who's now GM's chief executive. There's a New GM, but the lineage is connected to a long history. When he's not thinking product, Reuss, an executive vice president, also runs the purchasing and supply chain for the company, which is still one of the largest industrial empires in the world. We caught up with Reuss on the floor of the New York Auto Show, where GM had just rolled out two crucial new products: the 2016 Cadillac CT6 and the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. Speaking with a small group of reporters, Reuss delved into a variety of subjects, including the new Malibu, Cadillac's future (he thinks the ATS-V is going to "flame the M3 and M4"), and other topics. On fixing the Malibu: "We can't miss. We can't have those kinds of misses [like the previous generation] on our cars and crossovers and trucks. We can't do that. If we do that, we give a reason for someone to go buy something else. It's that simple. "On a car like the Malibu we have a chance to really fix all of that, which we have, and then lead. Then you've got a real opportunity there. So that's what we've really been focused on here – to fix those things." He later added: "We need that car here to transform Chevrolet desperately because it's the heart of the market. And when you think of Chevrolet, people will come back and think about what we did with the [new] Malibu and the Cruze... It's hugely important to us." On Cadillac: "If we go out and try and out-German the Germans, it's probably not going to work. We've got an opportunity here generationally where there's a lot of people younger than me that have parents that drove BMWs and Mercedes, and I think there's an opportunity there for those people to drive something different than what their parents did, and I think that's always been an opportunity in the auto industry if you look at the history of it.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
