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 The paint is extremely nice (I'd give it a 9 out of 10) and the interior appears to have been replaced by the original restorer.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

Autonomous tech will drive motorheads off the road
Thu, Nov 9 2017While autonomous technology could make car travel much safer and more efficient — and automakers and marketers are salivating over the prospect of a "passenger economy" that could potentially generate $7 trillion by 2050 — those of us who enjoy driving are not so stoked. Experts have predicted that as autonomous vehicles are deployed in large numbers, human-driven cars eventually could be outlawed on public roads due to the carnage they create, which is currently more than 41,000 deaths a year in the U.S. alone and climbing. Such scenarios have driving enthusiasts envisioning a "Red Barchetta" style nightmare becoming reality, making Rush lyricist Neil Peart a clairvoyant as well as one of rock's most badass skin-pounders. But there could be a couple of refuges left for motorheads, and they won't be on public roads. As Popular Science's Joe Brown points out in a recent editorial, we're seeing a wave of vehicles being offered by legit mainstream automakers that aren't made for public roads. The poster child of this vanguard is the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, which comes with a crate full of goodies that lets you turn the already formidable street-legal muscle car into a drag-strip dominator. Brown also notes that two out of five of the Ford GT's driving modes are for use on the track, "catering to the $450,000 machine's club-racing clientele." We're also currently enjoying the heyday of production off-road-ready pickups that kicked off with the Ford Raptor in 2009. The latest salvo in this escalating war of overachieving trucks is the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that can take on the likes of California's Rubicon Trail without issue. Brown also gives a shout-out to his magazine's Grand Award Winner, the Alta Motors Redshift MX, which "isn't even allowed on public roads" and is "meant for bombing around motocross tracks, big backyards and single-track woods trails." If you follow Brown on Instagram, you know that he's also a two-wheel aficionado, and he points out that sales of off-road bikes are leaving street machines in the dust. Sales of off-highway motorcycles rose 29 percent between 2012 and 2016, according to the ÂMotorcycle Industry Council — compared to 6 percent for road-bike sales during the same period. "That's a nearly 400-percent drubbing," Brown remarks.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.
