True Super Sport 454 Big Block Truck! New Paint! Loaded With Ac Ps Pb's Turn Key on 2040-cars
Kansas City, Missouri, United States
1974 SUPER SPORT EL CAMINO! A TRUE NUMBERS MATCHING 454 BIG BLOCK CAR THAT IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS! AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, & POWER BRAKES! ALL ORIGINAL & SOLID SHEET METAL! PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED THIS YEAR! LOTS OF MONEY INVESTED JUST THIS YEAR ALONE! This El Camino is truly remarkable. Not often can I say this but in this case, the photos as well as video do not do this El Camino a bit of justice. Over the last year this El Camino has received a tremendous amount of work. From brake and suspension work to the most significant enhancement, having it professionally repainted. Just within the last two weeks we installed the SS stripes as well as equipped it with a brand new set of 17" wheels and Nitto tires. The only mileage the wheels and tires have seen are what you've viewed within the video. Maybe ten miles at this point? A few years ago, the motor was also rebuilt and as you can see, everything was put back exactly how it should be. Mechanically the El Camino drives out like it just came off of the showroom floor. Body: This El Camino is completely rust free. It retains all of its original sheet metal which is extremely straight. Which means that the El Camino managed to survive over three decades with out ever being molested or hacked on. That in its own is a fairly rare feat! Nearly a year ago, the El Camino was stripped and repainted. The craftsmanship is remarkable. The paint shines out beautifully and the stripes line up extremely well. The El Camino has a brand new setup of 17" custom wheels which are wrapped in brand new high dollar Nitto tires. I actually just purchased these and had them put in less than a week ago! They really give the El Camino that perfect stance. All of the glass through out the El Camino is in excellent shape as is all of the trim. The El Camino also retains its original Jack which can be seen within the photos located below. I also have a brand new El Camino emblem for the tail gate. Engine & Mechanical: The El Camino still retains its original 454 big block. Which according to the previous owner, was rebuilt approximately three years ago and has little to no miles on it. He had driven it about one hundred miles the entire time he owned it and I know that we've put less then that on it since owning it. I would estimate that the motor has less than a thousand miles on it. It does not have a single mechanical issue. It starts up every time and runs out exceptionally well. The same can be said for the transmission. It shifts smoothly through out its gears and has zero mechanical problems. When the motor was installed, that is when new dual exhaust was installed. The exhaust setup compliments the motor very well as it sounds absolutely tremendous. The power steering setup works flawlessly as does the power brake setup. It does have front disc with rear drums. The El Camino does not squeak, shake, or pull when stopping. All of the electrical components through out the El Camino are in excellent working order. The turn signals, head lights, tail lights, the AC, windshield wiper blades, everything works! Even the original 8 Track radio still works (which can be viewed in the video below). The El Camino also is equipped with its original and larger ten bolt rear end. The shocks through out the El Camino have been updated and provide for a much smoother ride. Interior: The majority of the interior has been redone and is of excellent condition. The bench seat has been recovered, a new headliner has been installed, the carpet is new, the door panels are new, and the new dash pad we just installed in the last week. About the only thing that the interior needs are the vents could be repainted. They are not cracked or broken but they are faded. These big block El Caminos are already fairly difficult to find. Now throw in the fact that it retains all of its original sheet metal, that it hasn't been butchered, and that its been fully restored, NOW you've got a whole lot of automobile for a fraction of what it would cost to build one. I personally would love to keep the El Camino but given my current situation, I have to sell it. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the El Camino early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this El Camino. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra could get independent rear suspension
Fri, Jan 3 2020The Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra could reportedly receive a variant of the four-link independent rear suspension found under the new Tahoe and Suburban. While that's not a surprise, a recent report suggests electrification, not comfort, convinced General Motors to make the change. Replacing the time-tested solid rear axle with an independent suspension will improve comfort, handling and off-road prowess, while adding weight, and likely making the trucks a little bit more expensive. It's a fair trade-off, but GM Authority learned the real reason for the swap is that at least one of the pickups will spawn an electric model, and it's more difficult to package a bulky battery pack around a solid rear axle. The independent rear suspension takes up far less space, even if it has more moving parts. General Motors will build its first regular-production electric pickup on an evolution of the Silverado's T1 platform named BT1, according to the same source. The b stands for -- you guessed it -- batteries. The firm reportedly doesn't want to make two suspensions for cost reasons, so the independent setup will come standard regardless of whether the truck runs on gasoline, diesel, or electricity. As a bonus, Chevrolet and GMC could choose to offer their T1-based trucks with Magnetic Ride Control or an air suspension, options available on the 2021 Suburban and Tahoe. The independent rear suspension will also find its way to the next-generation GMC Yukon due to be revealed January 14, and to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade scheduled to make its debut February 4. The long-rumored, born-again Hummer will get it, too, because it will arrive as an electric model built on the BT1 platform. It's worth noting none of this is official, and General Motors has remained quiet about what's next for its new suspension design, and what will be under its electric truck's sheet metal. If the GM Authority report is accurate, the Silverado (pictured) and the Sierra could ditch their solid rear axle for the 2021 model year. The change will likely be accompanied by other tweaks inside and out. Featured Gallery 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 View 16 Photos Chevrolet GMC Truck
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
