1980 Chevy / GMC El Camino / Caballero from Alabama. The car has always been in Alabama, and therefore is completely rust free. The chassis and body have approximately 19k miles, and are in excellent condition. This car was manufactured at the GMC assembly plant in Arlington, TX, and was originally a 305 V8 Caballero. The cloth split bench seat interior is also in great condition for the age. The bed area is rust free, and does not appear to have been heavily used. The stock (3) piece rally wheels are factory issue, period correct, and in good shape. The Caballero now sports a quad headlight El Camino front clip and badging. The power is provided by a low miles, torque rich early 70's Buick 455 big block (blue block). Those of you familiar with the Buick 455's will know that the "blue block" engines were built stronger than the earlier "red block" series. The front springs have been replaced, upgraded to handle the heavier V8. A full dual exhaust system has been professionally fitted, and sounds fantastic.  The front pads and rotors are new.  Options include power steering, power brakes, automatic, original am/fm stereo, tinted glass, and tilt steering wheel. This is a low cost "turn key" classic car (or truck, if you prefer). Paint is in great shape, and was re sprayed several years ago to match the stock metallic gold finish.

Thanks for bidding, and good luck !!!


Fun fact: Caballero is a Spanish word, meaning "Knight".

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
