WE ARE SELLING OUR 1969 EL CAMINO. I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CAR HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY. WHILE YOUR READING THIS AND CONJURING UP A MENTAL IMAGE, THINK "NICE DRIVER". ITS NOT A REAL SS. I JUST ADDED THE BADGES FOR LOOKS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST (IN MY MIND ANYWAY)....THIS IS A CAR YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT HAS NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS. WE DRIVE IT TO CRUISE INS 100 MILES ROUND TRIP ALL THE TIME. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR RATTLE. IT TRACKS AND STOPS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.
BODY AND PAINT : A 7 OR 8 ITS STRAIGHT BUT IF YOU LOOK REAL LOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS FOR INSTANCE YOU CAN SEE SOME SLIGHT BUBBLING. ITS NOT BAD AND HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT BUT ITS THERE. THE PAINT IS SMOOTH AS A NEW CAR PAINT. NOT MIRROR LIKE A SHOW CAR, BUT CERTAINLY NICE. NO BIG SCRATCHES ETC. SS 396 HOOD HAS BEEN ADDED ALONG WITH THE RED SS STRIPE. A NOTE ON THE CLOSEUP PICTURE OF THE WHEEL: THE REFLECTION OF ME THE TREES AND WHATEVER ELSE MAKES THE BODY ABOVE THE MOULDING LOOK DORKED UP. I ASSURE YOU ITS NOT.
UNDERCARRIAGE. NICE AND SOLID FRAME. LIKE YOUD EXPECT FOR A WELL MAINTANED VEHICLE OF ITS AGE. ITS NOT CONCOURS BUT ITS NOT A RUSTED CLUSTER EITHER.
GLASS: ALL GOOD. ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD. SOME SCRATCHES ON ONE OF THE WING WINDOWS. SLIGHT WIPER HAZE ON WINDSHIELD. NOT TOO BAD BUT ITS THERE.
THE MILEAGE ON IT IS I THINK 69000 OR SO, I CANT PROVE IT BUT IM THINKING IT MIGHT BE RIGHT. IM NOT SURE ITS GONE AROUND ONCE. ID SAY BETTER THAN 50 50 ITS ACTUAL. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS WORK GAS GAUGE. AFTERMARKET GUAGES UNDER DASH.
DRIVETRAIN: 350 350 OBVIOUSLY REBUILT. (NOT BY ME) RUNS AND SHIFTS AS NEW. CHOKE WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD ETC. HEADERS AND DECENT EXHAUST. I THINK ITS THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANS, BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE.
INTERIOR: STOCK APPEARING. NEWER CARPET AND DOOR PANELS ETC. SEAT I THINK IS ORIGINAL AND ITS NICE. HEADLINER REPLACED. ORIGINAL BELTS. AFTERMARKET CD STEREO WITH PIONEER SPEAKERS. DASH PAD ISNT CRACKED. ID SAY AN 8. OH YEA THE DOME LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. DASH ISNT BUTCHERED.
FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES WORK AS GOOD AS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR. ALL THE LIGHTS BRIGHTS BLINKERS HORN WORK AS IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY STATE INSPECTED. NOT AN EASY TASK TO PASS WITH AN OLDER CAR HERE.
THE BED IS NICE NICER THAN MOST IT HAS SOME WEAR BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT HAD RIP RAP ROCK HAULED IN IT. THE COVER IS NEWER AND REALLY WELL FIT AND MADE.
THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS AND TAILGATE ARE SOLID. THE CHROME. ITS ORIGINAL;. ITS NOT BAD BUT ITS GOT SOME AGING. ITS NOT BAD AND THE CAR SHOWS REALLY WELL. HOWEVER NEW BUMPERS AND MAYBE DOORHANDLES WOULD REALLY ADD TO THE EYEBALL. ITS THE WORST PART OF THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN ITS NOT BAD . ALSO ALL THE BED TRIM IS ON IT. ITS NOT MISSING PARTS ETC. THE BUMPERS ARENT ALL DINGED UP JUST THE CHROME IS TIRED IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY.
RADIATOR IS A BIG BLOCK RADIATOR. ROCK SOLID 190 I DONT CARE HOW HOT OUT IT IS. BATTERY IS NEWER. ALL THE HOSES AND ALL THOSE TYPE ITEMS ARE GOOD.
TIRES AND WHEELS NEW COKER REPROS. RED LINE BIAS PLY. EXPENSIVE BUT IT MADE THE CAR REALLY POP AND ADDS THE CORRECT PEROID LOOK. EMBLEMS I ADDED ARE NEW.
WHY AM SELLING IT? A: TO MAKE A PROFIT IF IM NOT CAREFUL AND GO ON THE "HUNT" AGAIN .
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT HERES THE DEAL...ITS A GOOD CAR. WE GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE CAR. IT HAS REALLY GOOD STANCE AND EYEBALL. PLUS IT RUNS GOOD AND HAS BEEN DEPENDABLE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. A PERFECT ENTRY LEVEL OLD CAR FOR MAYBE A YOUNGER GUY TO PLAY WITH AND LEARN. EASY TO WORK ON. PEOPLE PASS UP EXPENSIVE HOTRODS AT THE CRUISE AND STOP AT OUR CAR. ITS CRAZY BUT IT HAPPENS . AGAIN....ITS A DRIVER / LOCAL CAR SHOW VEHICLE. ITS NOT A TURD, ITS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH ENTRY. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. EVERY CAR IVE SOLD THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY CAMPERS. THAT BEING SAID, IM NOT GUARANTEEING IT PAST MY DRIVEWAY. ID LET MY LOVED ONES DRIVE IT . IT HAS GOOD BONES. THATS WHY I BOUGHT IT.
I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE. PLEASE....I WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN ...BUT I CANT STAND TIRE KICKING BS. MAKE SURE THE WIFE KNOWS, YOU HAVE THE MONEY, ETC BEFORE YOU START IN ON IT. DONT BE "THAT GUY" ITS PRICED RIGHT. WERE NOT UNDER FINANCIAL STRESS (THANK THE LORD) SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM GOING LOW BALL. I WONT EVEN RESPOND TO IT. I DONT MIND DRIVING IT AROUND FRANKLY.
IF YOU WANT TO SHIP IT THATS FINE . YOURE PAYING FOR IT. I WILL MAKE SURE IT GETS ON A TRUCK SAFELY. THE CAR OR ITS TITLE (WHICH IS IN OUR NAME) ARENT LEAVING HERE UNTIL ITS ALL PAYED FOR AND CLEARED. PERIOD.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
