1968 Chevrolet El Camino

No Engine or Trans

Was originally 307 V8 - 3 speed manual trans

still has clutch pedal in it.

Car is complete other than that

15 x 7 Corvette Rallys on front 15 x 8 Rallys on rear

Stock 10 Bolt rear end

Power Steering - Non AC Car

Interior is complete.  No steering wheel 

 but needs to be redone

Bumpers are straight with NO Rust

All the trim is on the car

Glass intact except passenger window

The body is why I bought this car

The only rust is the bottoms of two front fenders behind the wheels

There is NO Rust in the typical El Camino areas: the lower Rockers - bottoms of the doors - rear fender lips - Gas filler door - behind the rear window - floor pans frame it's all good No Rust!

The car came from Indio in the Southern California desert

Looks like it had one crappy paint job over the original paint.  It had some surface rust developing from sitting out in the desert for quiet some time so the car was put in PCL primer until I could get to doing the bodywork.

I have not done any bodywork on it.  There are dents here and there but it's pretty straight overall

Nothing caved in just small dings.

I bought this car at a Lien sale from a towing company in Coachella, California.  I have ALL the paper work and will provide a bill of sale.

The paperwork is clean but California DMV wants nearly $ 1,000 in back registration before giving me the title.

The California registration fees should not apply to out of state buyers, but if you live in California it's gonna be about a grand to complete the paperwork.

I'm an honest seller and have attached a photo of the registration I have from DMV in my name.  I also have all the Lien sale paperwork from when I bought it.  Unfortunately, I have no time to do the car so it's gonna go to the highest bidder.

Hard to find one with no rust like this

I'm located on the central coast of California.  Half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco.  Zip code is 93420. 

Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements.  I will help load the car if needed.  The trailer in the photos is not included in the sale.

NO RESERVE

Happy bidding!!!

Car must be picked up with in 30 days of sale.  If you pay with a check it will have to clear the bank before car is picked up. 

Thanks! Rick

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
