1985 El Camino Conquista on 2040-cars
New Oxford, Pennsylvania, United States
Has tilt wheel, power brakes & steering, new battery, new 2 1/2" exhaust system, 600 CFM Edelbrock carb, door & window rubber seals & outer window sweeps plus many smaller parts. Truck is a good project vehicle and it does need work. The A/C and cruise are inop because the underdash wiring needs sorting and the A/C needs charging. The interior has the typical wear for an older vehicle. I bought the vehicle as a project, investing $8000, but have since been diagnosed with cancer and don't have the energy to finish. The body is in good shape (originally from Texas) & has been repainted. Tires are legal and mechanically it has new brakes and shocks. The engine has been swapped for a 350ci, has headers and runs good with good oil pressure and no smoke. Vehicle drives good with the customary squeaks and rattles for a truck 29 yeas old. I also am including 2 repair manuals and any extra parts. The ECM has been eliminated as have the CAT converters so I licensed it as an antique so it doesn't have emissions test. It also has a trailer hitch and after market Am/FM radio (works). Vehicle sells with no reserve--bid to own it. On Apr-18-14 at 23:40:13 PDT, seller added the following information: AS YOU CAN SEE, I HAVE AN OFFER OF $2900 FOR MY TRUCK. HOWEVER, I CAN NOT, WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY, ACCEPT THAT OFFER. I HAVE SPENT MY LIFE TRYING NOT TO CHEAT MY FELLOW MAN, AND I NOT TO START NOW AT 67 YEARS OLD. THE TRUTH IS THE TRUCK IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH BECAUSE IT NEEDS MORE WORK AND MONEY SPENT THAN IT APPEARS IN THE PICTURES. THE FACTS ARE THAT I GOT CHEATED WHEN I PURCHASED IT. WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I PAID $6300 + $700 SHIPPING FROM TEXAS AND I HAVE SPENT ABOUT $1000 SINCE ON PARTS BECAUSE I TRUSTED THE GUY AND DIDN'T SEE IT FIRST. TO MAKE THE VEHICLE RIGHT, ONE SHOULD SPEND ABOUT $2000 FOR NEW SEAT COVERING, CARPETS, SORT OUT OR REPLACE UNDER DASH WIRING, GET THE A/C & CRUISE WORKING, TOUCHUP BODY AND VARIOUS OTHER ODDS AND ENDS. AT THAT POINT YOU WOULD HAVE A GREAT LITTLE TRUCK WORTH AROUND $7000 to $8000. THE TRUCK DOES RUN & SHIFTS GOOD AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER CLAIMS IT HAS NEW BRAKES, SHOCKS , ALL A/C COMPONETS, EXHAUST,ETC. BUT I DON'T KNOW..I DID PUT IN NEW WINDOW & DOOR SEALS, OUTER WINDOW SWEEPS, BATTERY AND A BUNCH OF SMALLER PARTS(WINDOW CRANK, DOOR HANDLE, VARIOUS LIGHT LENS & BULBS, ETC.) THE FIRST PERSON WHO PAYPALS ME $2150( TO COVER $2000 FOR THE TRUCK & $150 FOR EBAY & PAYPAL FEES) WILL OWN IT AND I WILL THROW IN A BRAND NEW A/C RECHARGE GAUGE SET, VACUUM PUMP, SEAL KIT & RECHARGE GAS KIT I PURCHASED FOR $200 I DON'T THINK I CAN BE ANY MORE FAIR TO YOU GUYS THAN THAT. ANY QUESTIONS, CALL ME AT 717-624-2020 OR 717-451-9354 THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT EASTER, LARRY On Apr-18-14 at 23:47:29 PDT, seller added the following information: ALSO, I FORGOT TO MENTION, I THINK THE TRANS FRONT SEAL IS LEAKING.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
