1969 Chevrolet El Camino on 2040-cars
Trumansburg, New York, United States
Here we have my 1969 El Camino. It has been recently restored and has thousands of dollars of new parts and work. I will do my best to list them all but rest assured if it was worn or ugly it was replaced. The car was stripped to bare metal epoxy primed and finished. the front fenders, inners and hood are all brand new goodmark, The doors were perfect! the rear quarters were patched behind the rear wheel on both sides but that was it for rust. The gate bed and floors had no rust. All door seals, rubbers and window felts were replaced. All bed chrome trim was replaced new as well as back up lights and tailgate emblem, the bumpers front and rear are new as well as the brackets. the mirrors and side marker trim are new. The front grille is completely new with besels emblems and all trim. The interior headliner and seat were both good but the carpet, door panels and steering wheel were replaced with new. There were year one seat extenders installed as well. The engine had a light rebuild as it was in very strong shape. New bearings rings and a valve job, new intake, car, distributor, valve covers. water pump, hoses, billet pulleys, alternater, powersteering hoses, radiator hoses, heater hoses and an aluminum radiator were added. It is new under the hood! New exhaust from headers back - 2.5" front to rear with crossover and turbos, it sounds really good. The transmission was rebuilt with a shift kit and new stock type convertor. The rear is a 10 bolt non posi wit 3.73 gearing. The front brakes are all ne drilled and slotted with new calipers rotors and 2"drop spindles. There are new shocks all around and the rear has ladder bars added. The wheels are 17x8 front with 255/60 tires and the rears are 17x10 with 295/60. tires are nitto's Needs; There is a scuff in the passengers door glass that may be able to be buffed out? the dash was cut for a newer type radio and it needs one installed but I don't have one and like to hear the engine anyways. That's all I know of.. I have pictures of the restoration that shows body condition and all of the work that was completed. I will answer any questions before auction end but once you win the auction you own it! I encourage anyone to come check it out before you bid. \ I will entertain possible trades but no junk and chevy muscle type cars only.. $500.00 down via paypal immediately after auction end and the rest to be paid in cash when the cr is picked up. The car must be picked up within 10 days unless other arrangements are made. GOOD LUCK! |

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head
Mon, Dec 29 2014Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
