 Up for auction Is my 1976 Chevy El Camino,  I purchased this last year from the original owner who still had the original title ( I made a color copy of it before sending it in) it had been setting for several years in a barn and started occasionally. After much negotiation he reluctantly sold it to me. Now after completing this pick-up which I enjoy driving, I am reluctantly selling for myself.  It has the original 350  motor with a two barrel carb, carb has been rebuilt, still will need a slight choke adjustment, a turbo 350 trans, It is a number matching car, unmolested. Since I have acquired this fine automobile I have repainted it, new carpet, had the seat reupholstered, new dash cover, new fender and tailgate emblems, new tail light housings, spray in bed liner tinted to match, new plugs,wires, cap and rotor, new vacuum advance, new dual exhaust with trans am tips. I shipped both bumpers to tri-city plating in Elizabethton TN. and had them triple plated they look very nice. I put 8in corvette rally's with new disc brake center caps on it with two new BF Goodrich 245-60-15 on the rear, I had two tires in fairly new condition tires that I decided to use on the front, Futura 245-60-15. The A/C has had the evaporator rebuilt and the system was recharged with the factory R 12 refrigerant. Heat and air work very well. It does not have a radio in it, I have the original radio which does not work. Now this is not a show car, it is a driver. it is not perfect and has its flaws, I built it for a shop truck and did not want it to be perfect, it was intended for a daily driver and I drive it almost daily and will continue to drive until the first bid is placed. My future plans would include hood hinges, new window rubbers and fuzzies, door rubbers, new lenses, stainless trim, some touch up on the paint and some buffing. As of right now it is perfect for what I use it for. This is a RESERVE AUCTION with NO WARRANTY written or implied. Bidders are welcome and encouraged to inspect for themselves. Please do not bid if there is any possible way you can not complete transaction! A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs of auction close via paypal and balance in cash within 7 days of auction close. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. Bidders may call between the hours of 7am-9pm est at 919-548-1791. Thank you for your consideration and good luck, Toby

I have just added dash pics that were requested, dash cover fits very snug and is not glued because I was not happy with color. I have been searching for the dye to darken it a little or either to find one the color I wanted. I will include the glue that came with cover. Also I have had questions about the engine, engine has not been rebuilt just the carb, engine does have typical smoke when started it is not horrible, typical chevy valve seals. I drove it again this morning and ran very well. Any questions feel free to call.

GM recalls Colorado, Canyon, and Malibu for airbag problem

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall and issue a stop sale on 1,740 total examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, Malibu, and GMC Canyon. This includes 1,579 units in the US and 161 in Canada. The Problem: The second stage of the driver front airbag inflator might not be present. If this happens, the airbag won't fill as quickly as it should in a high-speed crash, which could increase the risk of injury, according to Reuters. This is not related in any way to Takata's inflator problems, and these parts come from a different supplier. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: GM will replace the vehicles' airbag assemblies. If You Own One: GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog he wasn't specifically sure when recall repairs would begin but said it would be "shortly." He expects the fixes to happen "quickly" because of the small number of affected vehicles, and many of them are either in transport or already in dealer stock. More Information: GM recalled the 2015 Canyon and Colorado in 2014 for a completely separate airbag issue. In that case, a manufacturing error improperly wired the connectors. Related Video: GM Statement GM is recalling 1,579 MY 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Malibu vehicles in the United States and 161 in Canada to replace driver-side front airbags. The second stage of the airbag may not deploy properly in certain high-speed crashes. During a routine quality inspection, it was determined that a component required for a second-stage/high-output deployment was not loaded during the inflator build. Dealers will replace the driver-side front airbag assembly. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to this issue. This issue is unrelated to the ongoing Takata recalls.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.
