 Up for bids is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino that was an original factory big block car. There is no engine or transmission with this car, body only. This car is very rare and unique because of its factory options and the condition it is in. This car has been in inside storage since around 2002. Before that it was stripped and sprayed with an epoxy or etching primer. It has had both quarter panels replaced at about the same time. Guys you will not believe this cars condition till you see it with your own eyes. Underneath this car is O rust. that's right, no rust. The floors, frame, braces under the bed etc are all very, very solid. Its unbelievable for a car this age to be this rust free. If youre looking for the right car to restore don't miss out on this one. On top of  no rust underneath, to make it even more rare and appealing its loaded with options not found everyday on a 1972 El Camino. It has a 12 bolt rear, front power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, actual cowl induction hood and a tilt steering column. You don't find all this on one car very often.  The front clip was removed when I got the car but most parts are there to put it back as a complete car as it should be. Right off I see missing are as follows, hood hinges, front bumper brackets, one inner fender,and I think theres supposed to be a filler panel that goes between the grille and bumper missing. There may be some trim pieces also missing but I have a lot of it. The doors are very nice except I think theres a very small rust spot on the lower corner of the drivers door, very small, think theres a pic of it. Bottoms of the doors are great as are the door jams and rocker panels. The front fenders are good but I think someone replaced the bottom of one of them, not rusted through but they have replaced it with a new section, its done nicely. The cowl induction hood seems very solid also. I do not have the original induction air cleaner assy but there available aftermarket reasonable. The radiator support is there and appears to be very solid and it has the AC condenser still attached to it. Both bumpers are very, very nice driver quality. Bed floor is solid also. Tailgate looks bad in pic but its just where the paint has come off over time, it is absolutely solid also. Looking inside this car it is is upper driver quality all through although to be nice it needs updated. The head liner has a hole in it from my guess is from a mouse making a new home. The seat needs some attention but its NOT all ripped up, just needs recovered. Same for carpet, ok but needs replaced to be nice. The door panels are very, very nice driver quality, not perfect but nice. The dash pad I think is perfect, don't see that very often on a 72 model. Also the dash has NOT been all butchered up to add accessories as most of them have been done. There is a small gauge panel on the bottom of the dash but easily removed with no damage visible. The tilt column is good and tight and it has a SS wheel on it. Actually the  complete interior of this car could be useable with only a good cleaning.  Forgot to mention, this car has a pretty nice SS grille with it also. Don't know what else to say about this El Camino so email me with your questions or concerns. If your in the market for a super nice, super solid, original big block El Camino to restore do not miss out on this one. This solid of a car doesn't come along everyday. The buy it now price is more than fair for a car in this condition with the options it has. This is way better than buying a cheap rust bucket and have to replace every panel on it. Check out my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. I require a $500 deposit at auctions end and the car can sit here awhile as long as its paid for in full. I will work with you or a shipper to get it loaded. This car has a clean clear title. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel you bid. PLEASE do not bid if you are not serious about completing the deal should you be the winning bidder. This costs money and time. Also the car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally. Look over the pics, ask any questions you may have. If its not in the pics, I don't have it guys. There are pictures of everything so please keep that in mind. Not a lot missing other than what was mentioned in the listing. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this rare, well optioned 1972 El Camino.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.   Marketing/Advertising TV/Movies Chevrolet GM GMC Hummer

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
