ONE FANTASTIC EL CAMINO SS396*! When I inspected this vehicle at purchase, it appeared to have had (and still does appear) a frame-off restoration with no evident rust. Fully optioned with working A/C (appears to be factory). Options or add-ons include A/C, power windows, locks, steering and brakes, tilt wheel, complete gauge set appears to be factory, vinyl top, 396, SS badging, cowl induction (not working well), vinyl top, hood pins, posi rear (I added that) with 355 gears, bucket seats, SS stripes (clear coated in), 15” rally type wheels, console and four speed. It appears to have had the rear quarters replaced and the car appears to be bondo free. I do not believe it is matching numbers or original motor. The paint is extremely nice (I'd give it a 9 out of 10) and the interior appears to have been replaced by the original restorer. From what I know about the history it appears to have been a Southern car and has no evidence of salt corrosion and the chrome is excellent. You can see from the photos that the frame rails are clean and solid. Also, I have no proof of the provenance (If I did it I would expect to get a much higher price) of it being born an SS car (*) and therefore it could be a clone. My research indicates that, unlike the Malibus, El Caminos in 1970 did not have SS-specific VIN numbers. However, if a potential buyer knows how to otherwise decode the VIN or other stampings, I will definitely supply that information and you can authenticate. The best I can tell, the VIN indicates this as a 136 code “Deluxe El Camino”. I spent a lot of money making this car “right” even though it was pretty much done when I purchased it. I had my mechanic fix the non-working or safety issues that bothered me. Those items were wiring gremlins, A/C issues and such. Why am I selling? Well, it's like this, I am a car guy and get tired of cars really fast. I have 10 vehicles and 4 motorcycles and I change them out routinely. Your gain is my loss as I have LOTS MORE MONEY in this than the asking price and I am sure the last owner had more money in it than what I bought it for. If you paid retail to re-do a car to this condition you'd spend upwards of $50,000 depending on what you spent to acquire the car. I am a total car guy and am a fair seller and fair buyer. I'm glad to answer any questions or show you the car. I'm happy to help load the car for shipping. Mileage stated is EXEMPT, and I do not know how many miles are on the car. (EBay requires mileage to be filled in so I just put 100,000.) There are lots of muscle cars out there and as I have found out, you’ll often buy one only to find out lots of stuff doesn’t work and you spend tens of thousands of dollars getting it right. Well, I already spent those tens of thousands. What doesn’t work (from my observation): the clock (surprised?), the cowl induction flapper works sometimes, and the Delco auto leveling device (appears to be a dealer add-on) does not work. Please email me if you have questions. I’m a full disclosure guy and will tell you anything or everything I know about the vehicle. I try to represent the cars I sell the best way I know how. I have been the victim of “over-represented” cars in the past and it’s not a pleasant experience. For that reason I suggest a personal inspection or have the buyer hire an independent inspector. Please look at the photos. I’ve tried to photograph as best as I can so you can see the condition. The car is being sold AS-IS, with NO WARRANTY and is MILEAGE EXEMPT and does not have a state inspection as it is titled as a Texas antique vehicle. I will assist in shipping by taking the car to a shipper’s location within 20 miles of Austin, Texas. Cost of shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I require a $2,500 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of your successful bid. NEW BIDDERS, or (0 ) FEEDBACK BIDDERS, please e-mail me FIRST, to have your bids approved AS A NEW BIDDER by the Seller, to show your full intent & understanding to purchase & follow through with payment.

Mopar Hellephant is sold out, but here are 4 other awesome crate V8s to try
Mon, May 6 2019Despite a relatively enormous $30,000 price tag, Mopar's 1,000-horsepower supercharged Hellephant crate engine sold out in just 48 hours. Some enthusiasts may have missed out on the crazy engine due to lack of funds, or they just assumed there would still be some Hellephants down the line. But worry not, swap-happy gearheads. There are plenty of V8s in the world to pick from, and we highlighted four favorites. They're not as powerful, but they're all cheaper, and still have a lot to offer. Mopar 6.2L Hellcrate Odds are a lot of prospective Hellephant buyers were Mopar fans to begin with, so we'll start the list with the next-most-potent offering: the Hellcrate. This is the same supercharged 6.2-liter V8 found under the hood of the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats and the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. It makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque like those cars, too. It's also about $10,000 cheaper than the Hellephant engine at $20,020, and that leftover money can be used to finish the project or for aftermarket upgrades to get it closer to the Hellephant's output. GM LS9 6.2L The Hellcrate isn't the only factory supercharged crate engine on the market. From General Motors comes the supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8. This is the engine that was used in the C6 Corvette ZR1. At 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque, it doesn't make as much power or torque as the Hellcrate. But it does boast a dry sump oil system. So instead of pumping oil out of a pan at the bottom, the engine uses an oil tank mounted remotely that pumps oil into the engine. This means the engine is shorter overall, and can be mounted lower for a better center of gravity. It also means that there's almost no risk of running the engine dry in hard cornering, as could happen with a normal oil sump where the oil can slosh to the side without the oil pump. Basically, it offers some major benefits if you want supercharged V8 power for a road course car. It's also a tad cheaper than the Hellcrate at $18,149. But get one while you can, because GM is only selling what's left from when it was building the C6 ZR1. Ford Aluminator 5.2XS Our pick from the Blue Oval lacks a supercharger, but it's still pretty sweet.
GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.
