1971 Chevrolet El Camino Custom Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
This car has lived a very pampered life. about 20 years ago a man from Southern Oregon went searching for an El Camino for his wife. He set out to find the perfect car and ran across a gentleman from Northern California wine country. He had a 1970 with factory A/C that he had purchased for his wife to run parts and supplies back and forth from town to the winery. He purchased the car and took it back to Oregon where he took it apart and rebuilt it for his wife. Over the years the car started to show wear and tear of every day use, so he parked the car and found another El Camino and rebuilt that one. I purchased the 1970 and drove it to Spokane where I re-freshened his restoration. New paint, suspension, carburetor, engine tune, brakes, bed liner, interior detail. I repaired the cowl induction hood and some electrical problems. I don't know the exact mileage on the vehicle but the car has about 60,000 miles since the original restoration. Roy told me that when he was doing the original restoration he had rebuilt the motor and transmission. When I serviced the transmission and adjusted the valves I agree the car shows very little wear in the motor, transmission, or undercarriage. I didn't see any signs of rust or bondo in the car.When I took the suspension apart the parts showed age but were not worn out. All the sheet metal line up properly. I do not believe this is an original SS car but the badge on the grill and the cowl induction hood were there when I purchased the car. This car runs wonderful and drives better than expected for it's age. Roy couldn't remember the size of cam he put in the original rebuild but the car has a little lope plenty of power and a great sound. Call Rick for more information 509-290-2441.

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"
Mon, Oct 20 2014Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

Officially Official: Chevrolet replaces Daewoo name in Korea

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
