Chevrolet El Camino 1971 Classic. Featured On Cover Of Super Chevy Magazine 1984 on 2040-cars
Spring Hill, Florida, United States
|
This El Camino was a former off frame build in the late 70’s. It has extensive chrome plating and amazing laquer paint which would cost 20k-30k at today’s prices. This 71 SS is a former ISCA show car which saw very limited street use after completion. I have known the car and its former owner since 1982. As the pictures show this 30 year old laquer with candy scallops, ribbon paint and ghost flames and beautiful detail is still in beautiful shape. During the build the frame was removed, blasted and detailed then painted, pinstriped and made as nice as the top. When I located the car in central Florida it still had the valour Cadillac seats and door panels from early 80’s. I replaced these with Pro-Car seats and door panels and kick panels from NPD. The blower motor and turbo 350 had been removed for another project when the El Camino’s show days ended and the rolling chassis was put in dry storage for the next 25 years. Somewhere in that time, the car was moved from Fort Lauderdale where I located its owner and convinced him to sell. The car is currently located near Tampa Florida. Always stored and in the past 5 years it has seen very limited use. The current motor and transmission have roughly 300 miles on them. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a reverse pattern valve body. The blower currently on the car has had the rotor removed and was modified to fit over the 650 Holley Carb. It does not function but retains the original look and still has the great blower whine and attitude. PAYPAL WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT ONLY.

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.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
