THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!! Up for bids is a 1973 Chevrolet Elcamino. This is a running driving project car or just check it over and drive it as is. This Elcamino has what I think is a H.O. 305 engine, I haven't run any numbers so im just going by what the previous owner told me. The engine sounds and runs good, the carburetor may need a little adjusting as it seems to be a bit rich especially when it warms up. It looks to be a fairly new Edelbrock carb. The trans is an automatic and it shifts good. Theres no smoke or strange noises coming from the engine, sound good. The car has had some new parts just recently put on the front suspension. Theres some of the ball joints replaced, tie rod end etc. and it has new front brake pads. The rear brakes are very good also.The car drives really nice for a 73 model since all the worn parts have been installed. The wheels are fair condition with some rust spots starting on them. The rears are very wide as they have 50 series tires on them. I think they have the wrong lug nuts on the wheels because they just don't seem to fit right, think maybe there unilug wheels with regular lug nuts on part of them. Some of them seem ok. The rear tires are worn out, the fronts have tread but not matched. The exhaust on this car is pretty loud, it has headers with header mufflers but no tail pipes. Its loud but sounds good. The interior of this Elcamino needs some work but is useable as it is if you want to go that route. Some of the interior trim is missing like the package shelf and the lower back corner pieces. The shoulder belts are still there but the seat belts are missing. It has a hard shell dash cover on it which is in good condition. There is an aftermarket gauge panel mounted on the dash, think theres a pic of that. The seat has a nice cover on it but the seat is torn up underneath it. There is new black carpet that was just recently installed. The door panels are driver quality although somebody cut holes in the upper part to install speakers but they have been taken out. The lower metal part of the dash looks to be a green color but that would be easy to change, theres not much of it showing. The body on this Elcamino is pretty decent for the model. It has been painted flat black with a red stripe and gloss black stripes on the hood. Underneath this car is super solid as most of them are completely rusted away on a car this old. The bed floor, bed cross members and all the sheet metal underneath is some of the best ive seen on these cars. The floor boards have been repaired with sheetmetal and they did a very nice job on them. There are a couple pics of them before the carpet was installed. They were also painted before putting in the carpet so they will last a long time. The body has some small dents and dings but there seems to be very little rust. There is some filler work on the flat part of the wheel lip on the rear wheel opening for some reason, don't think its rust but maybe just where they started finishing it off, not sure. The bed floor is good as is the tailgate. Bumpers are driver quality but need rechromed for them to be nice. The front bumper filler panels are missing. Theres no chrome for the bed but the rear window chrome is there, just needs new clips to install it. The Elcamino has new door weather stripping on both doors and also the window wipes are new, these parts alone cost quite a bit of money. The doors are pretty solid with some light rust starting on the bottom but don't think theres any holes. The paint as I said is flat black, it looks decent but a nice shiny paint job would do wonders for this car but maybe youre ito the stealth thing and the flat is right for you. Also, just remembered the hood has a dent right in the middle of it but theres no brace underneath it there so it can be worked out. This is a decent old car guys but its far from new. It is a great car to do a little work on and use as a daily driver or go all out with a restoration. It does need a few minor things and also to be checked out before being road worthy, therefore I recommend you trailer or tow it to your place but that's up to you. I have run it out the road a few times but its not licensed or insured so that's all I could do. Also no idea of the actual mileage, cant say for sure the speedo works as I forgot to check it. That's about all I know to tell you so email me with your questions. Remember this is a running driving project car so very little work and youre good to go. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all good. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people so rest assure you dealing with an honest ebayer, I tell it like it is. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must email me before bidding to assure me you will go through with the deal should you be the winning bidder. If you do not I will cancel your bid. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this great Elcamino. This car has a clean and clear VA title ready to go. REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!!

2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon all spied with production lights
Fri, Mar 22 2019One of our spy photographers just caught a smattering of full-size GM SUVs out testing, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon. Previous spy photos of the next-generation of these big GM SUVs have revealed that GM is going with an independent rear suspension design, and these shots confirm the news once again with our best look at the hardware yet. Check them out from the rear, lined up like ducks in a row to see the beefy control arms down there. This will undoubtedly give the big SUVs a more compliant ride, and should bring it back into touch with the refinement from the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The new bits we get to see with these shots are production headlights and taillights that are shaping up to look pretty neat. Most distinguishable are the GMC Yukon's LED DRLs. These look a lot like the C-shaped LEDs outlining the headlights on the Sierra, but they have an extra LED strip on top of the C. The parts of the taillights that we can see look significantly different than that found on the Sierra, showing GM is planning on having a great deal of differentiation there. We can sort of see through the mesh covering the grille to what appears to be a classic horizontal bar style front opening. Chevy is predictably dialing the crazy LED strip design back for the Tahoe and Suburban. The parts that are lit up look a whole lot like the headlight fixtures on the 2019 Silverado. That truck uses a stack of lights with the actual headlights separated from the DRLs. We can see the same thing going on here, with the headlight up top and curved LED DRL strip sitting below. It's tough to say if the designs are exactly alike, but we expect to see an extremely Silverado-esque look once all the camouflage comes off. Chevrolet's taillight design differs from its donor truck like the GMC, showing off a curved, vertical series of LEDs out back. Once production lights start popping up like this, we know the vehicle is moving closer to its end game. A reveal sometime later this year could be in the cards for GM's next batch of full-size SUVs. It certainly needs them quick, as Ford rockets ahead with increased Expedition production announced earlier this week.
2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]
Wed, Dec 3 2014The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners. Scroll down for video commentary from General Motors CEO Mary Barra, Loh and a clip of the Golden Calipers being handed over. Also, check out GM's full press release on its big win.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
