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.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
