3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!   This is relisted because the last winning bidder says they didn't realize how great the distance  would be to come to pick it up so that being said PLEASE make sure you can pick this up or have it shipped BEFORE bidding. This is a 1974 GMC SPRINT which we all know is the same as the Elcamino. It is a running driving project car. It can be made into a road worthy daily driver with just checking it out and fixing a few minor things or redo it and make an extra nice car. This car has been off the road quite awhile so it needs checking over before putting it on the road so that being said it will need to be hauled to your location for this purpose. The engine is a good running 350 with a turbo 350 trans which seems to shift fine. We ran it and tried the trans while it was sitting on stands in the garage only because there isnt any license or insurance on it. This car would be an easy fix for someone that wants an Elcamino or Sprint but doesnt want to invest a lot of money. With a little minor work you can make it a daily driver and work on updating it as you have the time and money. The body on this car is pretty good but it does have the usual rust underneath as most of them this body style did. It also has weak front floor pans and the rear ones will need work immediately. These can be repaired with a simple patch or replace them with new panels depending on how nice you want to make it. The pics show red primer on parts of the car, some of the places look to have been body worked and some of the places are just surface rust primed to keep the rust down. There are no holes showing other than a very narrow section in the bed floor, think theres a pic of it. Its not major, would be an easy fix. The doors dont seem to have any rust thru on the outside and the bottoms of them are pretty good with surface rust mostly. Fenders are showing a little primer on them but I think thats mostly surface rust also as they look pretty solid. Quarter panels have had some work done on them I think but theres no rust showing through yet. The tailgate has no rust thru, just surface rust and a few dings. The tires all hold air but are about worn out. The wheels are a nice set of rallys with 2 of them missing the trim ring. The front bumper is pretty good with some chrome peeling. The rear bumper is bent up a little but ok for a driver. The interior is driver quality. Dash pad is cracked but the door panels are both pretty decent, tops and bottoms. The seat is pretty good also. Carpet isnt much but thats a cheap fix. The car has a tilt wheel and it has a little play in it as do a lot of the GM vehicles. Its an easy fix by just tightening 3 bolts inside it. The car also has what seems to be all the air conditioning parts on it although its going to need charged. The frame is in great condition. This is a good project car guys as it wont take much to get it on the road. I have a very fair buy it now price on this so dont miss out. Remember this is a 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!  If you have any questions please ask before bidding. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding. Sorry about that but there seems to be more and more non paying bidders on here each day that just want to mess up your auction. Also the car is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction only. A lot of my auctions do end early so if you want the car dont wait around and maybe miss out. Also remember when the reserve is met the buy it now goes away. I require a nonrefundable $500 deposit at auctions end and the balance in full within 3 days. Delivery is possible depending on your location. I have a friend going to Knoxville TN next weekend so if your in that area and need it delivered he can do it for a good price. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all positive so rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. You dont get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, we tell it like it is. Also the car can sit here a while you arrange shipping as long as its paid for according to the auction terms. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this gret 1974 GMC Sprint.

Forgot to put in the listing that the windshield has a crack on the passenger side. These windshields are in the salvage yards for $50. Just wanted to mention this so theres no question later. Thanks


On Apr-29-13 at 16:09:52 PDT, seller added the following information:

I thought I had covered everything in the listing but with several questions about a few things let me try again. The car has been off the road awhile and its going to need checked out real good all over before putting it on the road. The brakes work but are very weak. The engine starts right up and sounds good although sometimes the carb wants to try and flood but not everytime. It does run!!!!! As far as the body, it has had rust repair in some of the places that the primer is showing but a lot of it is just surface rust. The rear floors are real bad and the fronts are very soft. I hope this clears up any questions you had about the elcamino. If not please let me know.

Star Wars Car Drives To The Dark Side Of Comic Con

Tue, Jul 22 2014

When it comes to designing coveted collectible toys for sale at Comic-Con, the annual celebration of pop culture lifting off Thursday in San Diego, the sky's the limit for the designers at Mattel. Fittingly, the building where Mattel's dreamers conceive of their limited-edition playthings is just down the street from the Los Angeles International Airport. Inside the colorful design center - a Hot Wheels-themed shuttle bus transports employees from Mattel's parking garage - the designers have spent the past year working on 10 toys created especially for the Comic-Con crowd, including a replica of the Batmobile from the upcoming game "Batman: Arkham Knight" and a 9-inch-tall action figure of Superman killer Doomsday. "We don't have to worry about retail. We don't have to worry about margins," said Doug Wadleigh, Mattel's senior vice president of global brand marketing for boys and entertainment. "We don't have to worry about operational efficiencies. We only have to worry about creating the coolest toys for our fans. Period." It also offers some escape from Mattel's reality these days. Like other toy makers struggling in this digital, video-centric age, the company is trying to remain relevant in the retail world. Core brands like Barbie have seen less of a demand, with a 14 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year. Mattel had a net loss for the first three months ending March 31 that totaled $11.2 million. But things will at least seem rosier at Comic-Con, where eager buyers for the toys await (the only other place they will be sold is on the Mattel collector's site). Mattel's exclusives this year run between $20 and $85, but elite toys can fetch much more when they're put up for auction. The crown jewel for Wadleigh and his team this year is a Darth Vader die-cast car, the first official collaboration from Hot Wheels and the "Star Wars" franchise. The car - imagine if a Chevrolet Corvette C5 and the villainous Sith lord's helmet had a baby - comes in a sleek black box and encased in a replica of Vader's lightsaber, complete with a swooshing sound effect. "We've been trying to partner with Lucasfilm and Disney on this property for a long time," said Wadleigh. A full-size working replica of the Vadermobile will be on display at Mattel's booth at the massive San Diego Convention Center.

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
