1983 Chevrolet El Camino 5.0l 305 Cu. In. Very Original! Phenomenal Shape! on 2040-cars
New Castle, Indiana, United States
This is in 90% Great condition! The heat and A/C seem to work. The tires have 80% tread left there are no flaws in the interior and the headliner was just professionally redone! The radio is still the original AM/FM that it came with from the factory. The spare tire is in great shape and is a full size spare not the usual doughnut spare. There are no tears or cracks in the upholstery. I use this as a daily driver and have never had a single problem!! The engine is strong and was rebuilt at the 100,000 mile mark so its exactly what the 5 digit odometer reads. The transmission shifts smoothly and has never clunked or hit hard. the brakes were recently bled and a new master cylinder was installed. I have also replaced the coolant hose that comes off the top of the radiator. The next thing I'm going to replace is the choke pull-off on the carburetor which just makes you have to start it twice on a cold start. After this is done that will no longer be a problem of course. The bed was painted just like it comes from the factory, it has some chips in the paint but NO RUST!. The paint was redone about 10 years ago and has been mostly garage kept in that time. I recently took it to a car show and it placed 6th out of all the cars that were out there. This is a NO rust car which is extremely hard to find with an El Camino. There is one area where the paint cracked on the drivers side in the rear behind the gas door. There is also a dent on the passenger side behind the door right at the bottom of the body. When the weather is cold the speedometer cable squeaks but this could easily be fixed by lubricating the cable. There is also an exhaust leaks that is slightly audible but nothing major. When spring rolls around if the car is not sold I planned on just replacing all the pipes and mufflers. It doesn't need to be done but it was just something I planned on doing.
Hagerty appraises this car at $13,600! If you have any questions feel free to ask via eBay, Email (jakegorman27@gmail.com), call, or text (765-465-2370). If there are anymore angles or photos of the car you would like to see just let me know and I'll work on it!! |

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk
Mon, Jan 13 2014DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
