1981 Chevrolet El Camino 383 Skip White Crate Engine New Draglites W/ Mickey's on 2040-cars
Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States
1981 Chevrolet El Camino up for sale. Originally a Texas car, I bought
this car a couple years ago from a good friend of mine down there with a
bad transmission. He promised me first dibs on the car if he ever
needed to sell it...needless to say, I bought it. Stored the car in my
shop for a while then decided to build the car up this last winter to make it turn
key and ready to go. Offered the car back to him this spring, he was
financially unable to purchase it back from me, gave me his blessing to
sell it so here it is for sale. A very nice car indeed, not a spot of
rust anywhere. The paint is pretty good, needs a couple spots touched up
as seen in photos and a rear gear change would be in order depending on
how it would be driven. Car has A/C but is not charged but is all there, installed the motor with all the correct brackets and accessories should anyone want to utilize what is there. Brand new power steering complete, pump, lines and box. Other than that, look closely, the pics tell the rest of the
story...too much new stuff to list,lots of goodies. Here are the specs on the car...A very healthy 383 Skip White
Performance crate motor was coupled to a rebuilt TH350(TCI
Promaster/Case saver/Hughes 3000 Stall) and dropped in. Brand new Weld
Draglites with Mickey Thompsons were just added this last week and Pure
Muscle control arms in the rear. Offering the car for a bit of a loss just to move it as storage is an issue, definitely a great purchase for not much
money...don't miss out on this one! Selling no reserve, first bid will
own the car. Good luck bidding and thank you for looking!

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
