Chevrolet El Camino Custom Standard Cab Pickup 2-d on 2040-cars
Cebolla, New Mexico, United States
This is a 1970 Chevy El Camino SS*. I am in the military and I am moving to Louisiana in May, so I need to sell this vehicle before then. Here are the features: -Engine : New 5.7L 350ci GM crate motor; it has ~7,800 miles on the motor itself. -Engine compartment: -New 4bbl 600cfm Edelbrock carburetor (Endurashine chrome) with manual choke. -New chrome intake manifold -New chrome valve covers and oil filter -New chrome air filter -New chrome water pump/pulleys/brackets -New chrome power steering pump/pulleys/brackets -New alternator (I have a chrome version as well, but it wasn't generating enough energy. I will throw it in for free if you'd like to rebuild it) -Factory AC (I took the belt off because it was old/worn, haven't replaced it). -Bought a new starter in ~October 2012 -Frame: I bought the car in Las Vegas a few years ago. The car was originally manufactured in California, and the vehicle has been in the desert the past 40 years, so it probably has the best frame of any El Camino on the road, in terms of rust. The vehicle is maintained in an environment free from smoke and rust. -Body: -Paint: Has a relatively new blue paint job. Original paint was dark red with black stripes. The paint has a few chips here and there, and there's a dent in the right side, but overall it still looks good. -Has Torq Thrust rims -Cooper Cobra tires with white lettering -Cowl Induction hood -New Xenon headlights and brights. They are bright, but not blue-colored. -Free, new car cover ($100-$200 value) -Interior (black with chrome lining): -Aftermarket radio: Panasonic stereo/CD player with Bluetooth capabilities. -Aftermarket amp and speaker (both easily removable), located behind the passenger's seat (see pictures). -New headliner and dome light set. The upholstery looks great. -Originally column shifter, but was moved to a floor shift (automatic transmission) -Has a pair of leather Lincoln seats (which I will say are super comfy, and surprisingly not that hot in the summer) instead of the bench. -Truck bed has a nice liner. -I'm currently trying to restore the steering wheel horn button. -The electrical wiring is old, so lights may occasionally go out. -The odometer is off. It currently says 5,185.2 miles. The odometer itself still adds one mile for each mile traveled, but it recently rolled over. It also shows only white on the 10,000s digit, meaning that you will get up to 9,999 before it rolls over again. I do not know the mileage of the vehicle, but I have recorded the engine's emplacement mileage at 7,392, which would mean that the engine's overall mileage is approximately 7,793 miles. *SS status: This section is for those collectors out there who are wondering how the car was originally manufactured. Using just the VIN, I can tell that it is at least a "custom" model and not a "base", and all SSes were customs. It is more likely than not that it was an SS. However, from what I've researched, the only way to actually prove whether an El Camino was originally an SS is to show a build sheet

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
A hybrid and electric Corvette, plus we drive the Ioniq 5 | Autoblog Podcast #728
Fri, May 6 2022In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. Zac drove the electric 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Greg drove the fire-breathing 2022 Maserati Levante Trofeo. The two dive deep into the relatively heavy news week by starting off with a discussion about the upcoming hybrid Corvette before chatting about what the electric Corvette might be like. They have a chat about the possibility of Porsche and Audi officially joining the Formula 1 field. Then, Greg and Zac get into some quick-hitting news to round out the segment by dissecting the updated Kia Soul (now without a turbo), the 30th Anniversary Edition Land Rover Defender and the new CEO at Aston Martin. Following the news and drive reviews, they rope in Senior Editor, Green John Beltz Snyder to give them a quick download of what went down at the first drive for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning. Finally, they reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from someone who is less than pleased about infotainment systems in some new cars. And lastly, the gang hears back from someone they helped out in a prior Spend My Money segment on the podcast. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Chevy Bolt will go into production in Michigan in 2016 [UPDATE]
Fri, Feb 6 2015While nothing official has been announced, it appears that General Motors may actually put the all-electric Chevy Bolt into production next year. That's the rumor that Reuters is reporting, citing two sources at suppliers for the upcoming $30,000 EV (although that $30,000 number bears some scrutiny). This rumor does fit in with earlier comments that the Bolt would arrive on the market in 2017. If it gets built, the Bolt will share more than a similar-sounding name with the Chevy Volt: the EV will be put together in metro Detroit. Reuters says the 200-mile electric car (and an Opel version) will be made in "an underused small-car plant north of Detroit," which means the Orion Township plant. GM could make between 25,000 and 30,000 Bolts a year there, if what the suppliers are saying is true. We have asked GM for a statement on this story and will update it if we hear back. UPDATE: General Motors manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, told AutoblogGreen that, "Bolt EV Concept is just that – a concept. We're currently evaluating the vehicle program, but do not have any production announcements to make at this time."
