Here is a little bit of info on the car. I'll try to start from the beginning and go from there. The body is a 1981 El Camino sitting on an original El Camino frame. The frame it self has been stripped and re-coated. The floor pans have also been stripped and re painted as well. The pans are as solid as they come and no rust. It has a aftermarket ford 9" rear end housing with the proper mounts to attach to the frame of the car (not a hack job). I am unsure of the gear in the rear end, but I would guess it to be somewhere between 3.73 and 4.11. It runs around 2500 rpm cruising down the road at 60mph. The trans is a Coan racing 350 turbo trans with a shift kit. It also has and aftermarket deep trans pan with a drain plug. The engine that is currently in it is a rebuilt SBC V8. I am unsure if it is a 305 or a 350. I bought the car with it already installed, so I am unsure as to the specifics on the engine. I do know that is has an edlebrock carb, weiand intake, mild cam, and headers. Its all kept cool with a really nice aluminum radiator. The car also has a really nice NOS nitrous kit. I have never sprayed it, but I know that it has a 150 shot and its a wet kit.
The body is in great shape with no rust, dents, ect. It is currently painted flat black, which is probably the one thing that I would change on this car. It looks ok, but just not my style. The hood is a fiberglass cowl hood, and is held down with hood pins. The bed has been rhino lined, and has a 10 gallon fuel cell mounted in it.
The interior has racing buckets with 5 point harnesses that are not currently installed. The carpet is new, and it has all aftermarket gauges that need to be wired, minus the tach and temp guage. The nitrous bottle is mounted between the buckets. The dash does have a small crack near the middle, but nothing major.
Overall, around 12000 was invested in this car. I bought it as it is and was give numerous receipts to show some of the work. It was built to be a pro street, but I believe it is more of a driver with its current engine. However, All of the parts used were selected with the drag strip in mind, if that's what your looking for.
I live in Valparaiso, Indiana and keep the car stored in my garage. You are free to come take a look at it if you would like, and please feel free to ask questions, as I'm sure that I have forgotten a lot. I am available in the evenings everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays.
This listing is sold as is without warranty. I reserve the right to end this auction early as I have it for sale locally as well. Good luck and happy bidding!

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV
Sun, Jan 7 2018Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

So, how do you actually pronounce that automaker's name?
Thu, Jan 21 2016You probably have that friend who always says Porsche wrong, or maybe it's someone who keeps reminding you it's actually two syllables. Whichever side of the pronunciation debate you fall on, you'll find someone to root for in the video above. And before you ask, this was all the video team's idea. So don't get mad at me for being the voice of reason. BMW Chevrolet Hyundai Nissan Rolls-Royce Videos Original Video nissan qashqai
