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.

Camaro driver clocked at 171 miles per hour

Wed, Apr 13 2016

Chevy's 2016 Camaro SS is a fantastic piece of automotive engineering. It is also, apparently, very, very fast. This latter fact was perfectly illustrated when, on April 8, a Camaro SS driver was nailed in Two Harbors, Minnesota for doing 171 mph. According to WFAA, the unnamed speed demon was flying down Highway 61 near Two Harbors when Hermantown, MN Deputy Police Chief Shawn Padden clocked him at an eye-watering 171 mph. He then recorded the speeder at 168 and 141. At the time, Deputy Chief Padden was working with Minnesota State Patrol on an anti-DWI program called "Toward Zero Deaths". Padden, who was interviewed by the Duluth News Tribune, said he was surprised at the driver's sheer speed. "When he went by me, it was a blur," Padden told the News. "You get used to seeing people going 65 or 70 and what that looks like. But I've never seen anything like this. It's like a rocket on wheels." Fadden chased the Camaro down eventually, but it took some doing. To catch the Camaro, he pushed his Dodge Charger Pursuit to 135 mph just to get into range so the Camaro could see his emergency lights. The speeding driver was ticketed for careless driving, but may lose his license due to a Minnesota law that gives courts the option of revoking licenses for drivers caught doing more than 100 mph.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter

Thu, May 14 2015

Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
