I own a restoration shop and this is a car I built twelve years ago and I am selling for my customer. When we got the car we had it media blasted. There was not a bit of rust as it has been a California car all its life. My customer is the third owner and has it for 17 years. Overall it is almost as nice as when we built it is 2002. It has 17,600 miles on it since then. We installed all the SS options as the car was a standard Chevrolet El Camino. I will detail the car below..... Engine.. It is a Chevrolet crate motor. 454 roller with a 1000 cfm fuel injection from Holly. Sanderson coated cast iron headers through a 2 1/2 inch exhaust. HEI ignition and serpentine belt system. The car has lots of power and runs great but the injection system is touchy at idle. I would replace it with a Holly 750 carburetor. I think it would run smoother and have a better idle. It does not smoke or leak and has never been abused. This was a brand new Generation VI 425 horse motor. Transmission.. It was a pro built 700 R4 with a 1800 rpm stall converter. Built to stand up to 500 horsepower. It has always worked perfectly. Shifts hard and tight. Rear end is a 3.73 12 bolt positraction. It was completely gone through at the time of the build. Body.. As I said earlier, it has always been in California so when we stripped it to bare metal there were some minor dents and dings to repair but no rust. It was painted with two stage Dupont. Base coat and clear coat. It still shines great and other than a couple of very minor scratches still looks as good as it did when we built it twelve years ago. The inner fender wells and core support were powder coated. Interior.. It is showing the usual wear on the seats and the carpeting is a little faded but everything else is real nice. Door panels, headliner, dash are great. It was a factory A/C and we added the tilt wheel, rally gauges and tachometer power windows and soft ray tinted glass along with the SS bucket seats and console. Overall a real nice, clean driver. With the 3.73 rear end and overdrive transmission the car is fast and still cruises beautifully down the highway. At 75 mph the rpm is about 2100. Nice. The fit and finish of the body is great. No rattles and everything fits well. All the chrome was new when the car was built and still looks great. New tires and the vinyl top were new last year. All the suspension was rebuilt in 2002. Ball joints and control arm bushings, tie rods, everything. It drives great. If want to see the car I am about 15 miles east of Sacramento off HWY 80. If you have any questions or need more photos, please call Bruce weekdays at 916-652-6852. Thank you.

Volvo and GM team with Amazon for in-car deliveries
Tue, Apr 24 2018Volvo and GM are the first automakers to pair their vehicles with a new service from Amazon that lets owners have their packages delivered inside their cars, without them having to be there. The service will initially be rolled out in 37 U.S. cities at no extra charge to Amazon Prime members with a Volvo On Call or OnStar account, and it works with same-day, two-day and standard shipping. It's intended as an alternative for people who don't want to risk having their package stolen from their front porch or receive deliveries at their workplace, and both automakers say it's an example of how they're embracing innovation as a way to make their customers' lives easier. Volvo released a video (above) showing how the service works. Users download the Amazon Key App (or " Ama-zin," as the narrator pronounces it) and link their Amazon Prime account with their Volvo On Call account — or OnStar, in the case of GM-branded vehicles. Once they register their delivery location in a publicly accessible location, users can select the "In-Car" option at checkout. They get a notification when the delivery is en route and once it's completed and the car is relocked. Volvo has been offering in-car delivery in certain European countries since 2015 through its Volvo On Call platform, which enables services like the ability to send calendar-based navigation destinations directly to the vehicle, find nearby gas stations and help locate the vehicle when you forget where you parked it. Volvo says the platform is now available in roughly 50 countries and covers more than 90 percent of its global sales. The service is compatible with 2015 or newer Volvo, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. Volvo says it's available to the majority of Volvo owners, while GM says more than 7 million vehicle owners can qualify. The service is expected to roll out to more cities later. You can check eligibility at amazon.com/keyincar. Related Video: Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Volvo Technology Infotainment Amazon connected car volvo on call e-commerce

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
