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.

Fri, Feb 11 2022

In this episode of theÂ AutoblogÂ Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor James Riswick. They chat about slumming it in the Aston Martin DBX, the brand's first SUV, which they didn't have terribly high expectations for yet utterly blew them away. Riswick in particular notes it's one of the best cars he's ever driven, describing it as a family GT car. They then switch to a very different family vehicle: the 2022 Kia Carnival, and the unique second-row seating arrangement we've dubbed the "Captain Kirk chair." Greg has also been driving the Chevrolet Tahoe Premier. They also chat about two of Riswick's recent features: the 20 craziest car redesigns of the past 20 years and the best cars for snow.Â Autoblog Podcast #716 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify Â– Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS Â– Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 Â– Download the MP3 directly Rundown Cars we're driving Aston Martin DBX 2022 Kia Carnival 2022 Chevy Tahoe Features 20 craziest car redesigns of the last 20 years Best cars for snow Feedback Email Â– Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectivelyÂ— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year Â– that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
