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!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.
