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 The paint is extremely nice (I'd give it a 9 out of 10) and the interior appears to have been replaced by the original restorer.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.

The future's electric — but the present is peak gasoline. Burn some rubber! Do donuts!
Wed, Jun 23 2021I vividly remember the year 1993 as a teenager looking forward to getting my driver’s license, longingly staring into Pontiac dealerships at every opportunity for a chance to see the brand-new fourth-generation Firebird and Trans Am. Back then, 275 horsepower, courtesy of GMÂ’s LT1 5.7-liter V8 engine, was breathtaking. A few years later, when Ram Air induction systems freed up enough fresh air to boost power over 300 ponies, I figured we were right back where my fatherÂ’s generation left off when the seminal muscle car era ended around the year 1974. It couldn't get any better than that. I was wrong. Horsepower continued climbing, prices remained within reach of the average new-car buyer looking for cheap performance, and a whole new level of muscular magnitude continued widening eyes of automotive enthusiasts all across the United States. It was all ushered in by cheap gasoline prices. And as much as petrolheads bemoan the coming wave of electric vehicles, perhaps instead now would be a good time for critics to sit back and enjoy the current and likely final wave of internal combustion. Today, itÂ’s easier than ever to park an overpowered rear-wheel-drive super coupe or sedan in your driveway. Your nearest Chevy dealership will happily sell you a Camaro with as much as 650 horsepower. Not enough? Take a gander at the Ford showroom and youÂ’ll find a herd of Mustangs up to 760 ponies. Or if nothing but the most powerful will do, waltz on over to the truly combustion-obsessed sales team of a Dodge dealer and relish in the glory of a 797-hp Charger or 807-hp Challenger. Want some more luxury to go with your overgrown stable of horses? Try Cadillac, where you'll find a 668-horsepower CT5-V Blackwing. You could instead choose to wrap that huffin' and chuggin' V8 in an SUV. Or go really off the rails and buy a Ram TRX or Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 and hit the dunes after a quick stop at the drag strip. Go pump some gas. Burn a little rubber. Do donuts! There is nothing but your pocketbook keeping you from buying the V8-powered car of your dreams. Yes, just about every major automaker in the world has halted development of future internal combustion engines in favor of gaining expertise in batteries and electric motors. No, that doesnÂ’t mean that gasoline is going extinct. There are going to be gas stations dotting American cities and highways for the rest of our lifetimes.
2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
