Hi, up for sale is my 68 El Camino project car. This car has a 327 large journal engine, factory four speed transmission, and a 12 bolt posi rear end. The engine has been rebuilt. It has forged pistons, has been balanced, and has a mild cam. It has camel hump heads, GM hei distributor, and a holly 650 double pumper. The transmission is a factory four speed with a saginaw transmission. The rear end is a 12 bolt with positive traction

  My mother bought the car new in 68, gave it to me a few years back, which makes me the second registered owner. It has a clear title. The car was in the California central valley it's whole life, so it does not have big rust issues like car that have been in the snow and salt. The car has stock running gear and has not been modified.

  The car does not run. The last time it was ran was in 1997. The car was parked in 97 due to the reverse gear being broke. The transmission still worked but it was noisy. The reverse gear is missing a few teeth along with the cluster shaft which also made it noisy in forward. The engine was rebuilt and had about 5000mi on it before the trans broke. The car was parked in 97 and the fuel was siphoned out of the tank and that was it. It will need to have the fuel system cleaned and what ever else it will need for a car that has been sitting 16 years. The brake pedal also went to the floor when I pulled it out to clean it up. The brake system will need to be gone through. It was stored in a garage.

  The car was stripped down and was painted. The paint started checking on the rear quarter panels do to a bad prep job. I took the car back for warranty on the paint but the body shop went out of business. There is also some chips along the door frames. The trim and parts that I have for the car are in the bed. Some of the chrome may be missing, some may be duplicates. There is also a new tailgate skin, spare bumper and the other stuff that is in the pictures. There is a little rust on the passenger side floor pan and the pan behind the seat. I think it would be very easy to repair. I also have the factory owners manual. 

Payment must be received within 3 days of auction ending. I will only except a wire transfer to my bank account for payment. The buyer is responsible for all moving, hauling, and shipping costs. I will assist  loading the car at it's present location.

Ringbrothers drops more hints about its wild SEMA creations

Thu, Oct 17 2019

Ringbrothers isn't finished teasing its SEMA creations. First we got a sliver of rear quarter on a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro that revealed a bundle of carbon fiber and SEMA-obligatory deep-dish wheels. The Wisconsin tuner's now announced its litter of cars headed to the show and a few specs, along with two shadowy drawings. The Camaro, christened with the name Valkyrja and a two-tone paint job, gets stretched in two directions with severe fender flares to widen the body and an extended wheelbase. We're not sure what's happening with the Camaro's snout in the drawing, but under that bulging hood we'll find a 416-cubic-inch LS V8 from Wegner Motorsports. Wegner built the 416-cu-in supercharged LS3 V8 that powered Ringbrothers' 1,000-hp G-Code Camaro in 2016.  The second member of the gang is a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 dubbed Unkl. The exterior begs for attention with a deep blue sea paint job, deep front chin spoiler, bulging hood, yellow brake calipers, and what looks like a racing number inside a roundel on the doors. Unkl gets its motivation from a 520-cu-in Boss V8 built by Kaase Racing Engines, rumored to throw about 800 hp.    Finally, Ringbrothers is bringing its Cadillac Madam V for another Las Vegas go-round after giving the custom coupe some updates. The Madam V is a 1948 Cadillac Series 62 fastback coupe body placed atop an ATS-V chassis, first shown in 2016. The firm didn't elaborate on the changes, so all we can expect for now are the coupe's postwar good looks mixed with new-millennium engineering, and a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 with 464 hp under that exceptionally long hood.    For any in attendance at the show, the Valkyrja Camaro debuts at the BASF booth on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019 at 9:30 a.m., the Unkl Mustang gets revealed a couple hours later at the Flowmaster/Holley booth, and the Madam V Cadillac will be on display throughout the show at the Ringbrothers booth.

Chevy Bolt meets 2016 Nissan Leaf at LA NEDW event [UPDATE]

Mon, Sep 14 2015

The 2015 National Drive Electric Week kicked off this past weekend with events happening all around the world. Our friends from Plug In America (PIA) send us some notes and pictures from one of the larger events in Los Angeles, CA. This event was special because it saw the debut of the 2016 Nissan Leaf and the west coast debut of the Chevy Bolt concept. The two electric vehicles were in the same place at the same time for the first time ever. Besides that little bit of electric vehicle history, the organizers helped facilitate 800 test drives, PIA co-founder Zan Dubin Scott told AutoblogGreen. The city of Los Angeles also gave proclamations to movie director Chris Paine (Who Killed The Electric Car? and Revenge Of The Electric Car) and the three national organizers of Drive Electric Week: PIA, the Sierra Club and the Electric Auto Association. Speakers at the event included names that should be familiar to AutoblogGreen readers: California state senator Kevin de Leon, race car driver Leilani Munter, and Dave Barthmuss of General Motors, among others. Joel Levin, the executive director of Plug In America, said during his speech that, "Electric cars are changing the world. Every time one of these vehicles gets sold, our air gets a little cleaner. We will take a big bite out of climate change. Our economy will not be subject to wild swings in gas prices. And we will not be involved in foreign wars over oil." Tell us about your own NEDW events (that happened already or are about to happen) in the Comments below. UPDATE: We received the text of Andrew Speaker's comments at the event. Speaker is Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle (EV) Sales & Marketing. We've included them below. Thank you, and good afternoon! On behalf of Nissan, we are proud to sponsor National Drive Electric Week, and we're excited to be able to celebrate it here in Los Angeles with all of you. This is actually my first National Drive Electric Week event, and I am inspired by the level of enthusiasm here today, and seeing everyone's passion for electric vehicles first hand. Nissan has had some big news in the last few days with the introduction of the 2016 Nissan LEAF, which is the world's first affordable electric car to get more than 100 miles of range on a single charge. The 2016 LEAF offers a new 30 kWh battery with an EPA-rated 107 miles of range... and its making its global debut here in Los Angeles.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
