I have a 1979 El Camino in wonderful condition. It is a running driving project car. What I mean by that is it runs and drives with plenty of power and smooth. However, it will not pass inspection at this time. To do so it will need new windshield wipers and the horn re-connected. (It was disconnected when the previous owner removed his $5,000 sound system) It also needs the light bulb behind the gauges replaced and the speedometer reconnected. The car does come with AC, but the previous owner also disconnected the fan switch. It works about 1/2 the time The car has a custom University of Texas paint job and custom UT leather interior. The leather covers the entire inside including the dash, ceiling, etc. There are no tears of any imperfections in the leather. Currently it does not have a head unit. (CD Player) But, it is already wired for not only a head unit but for four 12” subwoofers Sub box picture available upon request. If you desire and already had about six tweeters installed. Loud music not your thing? The sub box can be removed for a spacious storage compartment. The drivers side door is missing the interior handle and the passenger side is missing the window handle. You can buy the whole set of chrome interior handles for $19 online. The exterior is in great shape considering the age. There are only two tiny rust spots smaller than a dime. ( Will post pictures of all imperfections) This is a terrific car but I want to be candid about every little thing that might be considered a flaw. Unlike most sellers, I am NOT try to “get one past you.” I myself have been burned purchasing things online. Therefore, I will be honest and candid about any and all questions you might have or imperfections. When I asked the man at the body shop he assured me the custom paint job is worth between 7-10 thousand dollars. The paint on it is not in PERFECT condition. But is has been garage kept and has never been in an accident. As you can see by the photos it has a bed cover that is also custom painted. You might not see it, but it also has a bed liner under that. There is one special quality I like about the car and I have NEVER seen on a El Camino. It has a sunroof!!!! Of course its after market and it you desire you can remove the glass entirely. It will need a new set of tires on it. Right now I can drive it but wouldn’t trust the rubber to go long distance. When I got the car it had 22” rims on it and they fit. IF I were to keep the car, I planned on lifting if 3” and put some big tires and a brush guard on it. LOL Just goes to show everyone has different taste and if you’re a UT fan this car will accommodate them all. Under the hood is yet another custom surprise. The entire engine has been rebuilt from the heads up with nothing but Edelbroch parts. Including a four barrel carburetor, performance plugs with wires and a chromed out-oversized alternator. It was installed to support the massive sound system the previous owner had. It also had true dual Flowmaster exhaust with custom chrome tips. To put it mildly, the car simply sounds amazing. I have not had it dyno tested but I HAVE been racing for 15 years. I would guess it has about 370-390hp. You might be asking yourself. “If this car can be worth so much more, why doesn’t this guy fix it up himself?” This isn’t my first El Camino project so I was excited to get this one to work on. However, life had a different plan. Due to a medical issue I have had to have three surgical procedures in the past year and I simply CANT put in the wrench time. But this WILL make someone very happy. It is definitely one of a kind and you shouldn’t see another one like it. Whether you are a University of Texas student, fan, alumni or teacher this is the car for you. It will defiantly turn heads on campus and every red light you stop at. I have video as well upon request. Also, last picture with the 22" rims was taken back when it was a show car. NORMAL wheels and tires on it now. Right now I would trust this vehicle to carry me across country and back. (except for the tires of course. Feel free to E-mail me with any questions, more photos or videos. Or call 817-905-9566 ask for Jonni or E-mail me at mamassnokkums@yahoo.com I have several nice videos I would like to share as well. Look forward to our future business together. OH, and make me and offer...never know what I might be willing to settle for. I hesitate to mention this, but SOME trades might be considered with cash.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.
