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.

GM resumes production of its 3.0-liter turbodiesel straight-six

Sat, Nov 20 2021

General Motors temporarily stopped taking orders for trucks and SUVs equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel six-cylinder engine in August 2021 due to a supplier shortage. Reports claimed the pause would last through 2021, but the engine is already back in production. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned from sources inside General Motors that the straight-six is once again coming off the assembly line at the Flint Engine Plant in Flint, Michigan. There's no official word on precisely what the problem was linked to and whether it was related to the on-going chip shortage that's wreaking havoc across the automotive industry. All we know is that the pause lasted for about two weeks. Called LM2 internally, the six is available in Chevrolet's Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado 1500 and in GMC's version of these trucks. It's also an option in the Cadillac Escalade. It develops 277 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and a V8-like 460 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm in every application, and it allows these big behemoths to post surprising fuel economy numbers. Fitted to a rear-wheel-drive Tahoe, the Duramax returns 21 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in a combined cycle, figures that make it more efficient than a Blazer. Demand for the diesel-powered trucks is relatively high. While the shortage undoubtedly took a toll on sales, the Duramax represented 8% of Suburban sales and 6% of Tahoe sales in May 2021. There are no other diesel-burning full-size SUVs available new so they have the market to themselves. On the truck side, Ram still makes the EcoDiesel available on some 1500 trims but Ford abandoned the segment.

2017 Chevy Bolt charged up for production

Thu, Jun 11 2015

Chevy's decision to call its new electric car the Bolt has stirred controversy and confusion, but regardless, it's well on its way to becoming a production reality. The prototype captured in these shots is heavily camouflaged, but the crossover/hatchback styling cues are still evident. The car also has a tall greenhouse, slight creases in the sides, and a sloping roofline in back. There's a rapidly rising body line that makes for less glass for rear passengers, but that's probably part of the camo. The Bolt is expected to arrive for 2017 and will be sold in all 50 states. The Chevy Bolt carries the promise of bringing EV technology to a broader audience. Chevy said the car will cost about $30,000 after possible tax incentives and could have a range of 200 miles. It will be assembled at General Motors' Orion Assembly factory north of Detroit. The Bolt will augment the plug-in hybrid Volt in Chevy's green fleet, and it will compete against vehicles like the BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf. Related Video:

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
