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.

Jay Leno gets pulled over while roaring in a Corvette Z06 convertible
Tue, Jan 6 2015No one is above the law, even if that person is a certain silver-haired auto enthusiast with a popular weekly video series about the cars in his garage. This week, Jay Leno experiences the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06, but he also gets to have a meeting with some of California's Finest immediately after a high-speed blast. As opposed to the full-bore Z06 coupe with the seven-speed manual, Leno gets behind the wheel of the slightly heavier convertible version with the eight-speed auto. Being a droptop doesn't bother him too much, but Leno makes it obvious he wishes that he could be shifting for himself. Even if the auto is technically quicker, Leno says that swapping gears gives him something to do while driving. Of course, one of the major advantages of the convertible is the ability to listen to the Z06's thumping V8 unimpeded. With 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from 6.2-liters of supercharged muscle, it already puts down impressive numbers, but the sound might just be the best part of all. Around town, the 'Vette is quiet enough to easily blend in with the rest of traffic. However, tip the throttle down and the valves in the exhaust open up to turn the engine into roaring monster. Be careful where you make this thing howl, though, because it's pretty easy for the police to take notice. The host finds that out the hard way in this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
