Up for bids is a very nice 1978 GMC Caballero which we all know is the same thing as the Chevrolet Elcamino.This is a GMC Caballero. This year is pretty rare as I've been told only a little over 3000 were built for 1978. If youre looking for a nice solid car to use as a daily driver or want to make a show car then this is the one for you. This Caballero is priced to sell guys so dont miss out. As you can see by a couple of the pics the build sheet comes with the car which is rare for a car this age. Not sure everything is still there thats on the list but it gives you an idea what options were chosen for the build. The car has been off the road a little while but it starts, stops, shifts and drives just fine. I have only put a very few miles on it as its not licensed and insured so driving it a long distance is up to you. The car starts right up, just hit the gas a couple times and the choke sets correctly and it fires right up. The choke kicks off after it warms up just as it should. I see no reason why you couldnt but again to be absolutely safe it should be checked over, thats just my thought. If transport is necessary I may can help with that also. The car has the small block engine with the automatic trans. The engine runs great with no problems that im aware of and the trans shifts as it should. The brakes feel good and it drives nice for a 1978 model. I feel this is one of the nicest 78 Caballeros you will find for the money. The car is a factory air car but someone removed some of the parts for it. I have the compressor and some of the brackets that will come with the car. Underneath the hood is pretty much as it came from the factory although im not sure if its the original engine or not. The heater and AC box is all there and intact. The body on this GMC Caballero is very solid.The bed is solid and the frame has no rust, completely solid, no worries there. The hood has been recently painted but it didnt match very well. The front fenders have no holes but just a very little minor surface rust on them, no rust through. Both doors have no rust and the inner lower lip of them have whats appears to be a skim coat of filler on them to fill some pitted areas, again, very minor. Both doors have NO rust through at all. The quarters or bed sides are also very solid with no rust except for maybe a little surface rust in a small spot or two, very nice. The tailgate has no rust through at all and just a place or two of maybe a little surface rust if any at all but it does need the cables that hold it when let down. The lower half of the body, the tan part, has been painted fairly recent to just make it look better as the years had taken its toll on it and faded it out quite a bit. The body has a few dings and a couple very small dents on it from normal wear and tear of a car this old. The drivers front fender has a small imperfection as does the drivers door where the molding fits on it, nothing major, just want to be honest about it all. The brown paint on the car is showing its age bit still shines pretty nice. You can see its getting pretty thin in spots. Overall this is a sharp vehicle and no major rust issues. The floor pans are good, looks like a very small spot or two has been repaired but they are solid and need no work. The bumpers are fair, not beat up but are worn, may polish out some but are driver quality as is. All the trim is on the car and most of it is in really good condition, Some of it may need some polishing but most of it shines great. There are two tie downs mounted on each side of the bed, but they could be easily removed and holes filled with little paint work would never be noticed. Now guys the interior will put you over the top if youre considering buying this car. A lot of money has been recently spent on the interior and although its not perfect it sure is nice, very nice. Look at the pics really close and you will see lots of new parts etc on the interior. Some of the interior pieces have started to deteriorate from age but it still looks super nice and clean. Some but not all of the new interior include, new carpet, new headliner, new dash cover, door panels redone, steering column redone, gauge bezels refinished etc. The interior looks close to new. The color really makes all the interior super sharp. The seat was in pretty ragged condition but its had a very nice cover put on it. It has a tilt steering colums with the cruise control on it but the cruise has been partailly removed from the engine area. I think most of the gauges work, gas, charging, and I tink the temp gauge does also. The oil gauge is all the way over, not sure whats going on with it but the oil pressure is fine, no worries. Guys I cant say enough about the interior of this car, its just another big plus on buying this car, money you dont have to spend. You know the car is nice all around or the interior wouldnt have gotten this much attention. Some other things to mention, the exhaust is pretty good but needs a short piece of tailpipe to make it sound even better than it does, the way its set up iy only takes a short piece of tailpipe about 8 inches long to complete the system The exhaust isnt new but think its ok. The wheels are driver quality with some surface rust starting on them, they still look good for a daily driver, The tires are about have I think and seem to be fine. Brakes seem to be good also. All the glass in the Caballero is is good also. Guys thats about all I know to say about this GMC Caballero. If you have questions please ask, assume nothing. If you want a nice, solid sharp daily driver or a solid car to make a show car out of this is the one for you. Its a very good start for anyone looking for a vehicle like this and its priced right. Some people put big high prices on there vehicles but im pricing this one more than fair, its priced to move. Dont forget about the super sharp interior, that will save you plenty of money any way you decide to go with it. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 600 and all positive. You dont get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this nice 1978 GMC Caballero. If you have less than 10 positive feedback I ask that you email me before bidding to assure me you will complete the transaction should you be the winning bidder. This Caballero comes with a clean and clear VA title.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%

Sat, Jun 13 2015

General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevy Volt 'acceptable,' Nissan Leaf 'poor' in new IIHS safety tests

Thu, Jul 31 2014

Ford C-Max Hybrid also scored "acceptable" rating. With US Nissan Leaf sales up almost 30 percent during the first half of the year, the only thing that might be able to stop the battery-electric vehicle is a good, stiff barrier. Unfortunately, thing's aren't always pretty when that happens in the real world, according to new tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Things with the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in are a little bit rosier, though. The two plug-in vehicles were part of a batch of a dozen vehicles that just went through the IIHS's "small overlap" test, in which the driver's side front corner of the vehicle is crashed into a rigid barrier at 40 miles per hour. Out of the dozen, only the Mini Cooper Countryman was given a "good" rating. Five vehicles, including the Volt and the Ford C-Max Hybrid, were rated "acceptable," two were "marginal" and two, including the Leaf, were "poor." Plug-in vehicles are unique in the crash-test context because of their relatively large battery sizes. In the Volt's case, the driver had a "low risk" of injury, said the IIHS. But the Leaf's crash substantially pushed back the instrument panel and steering column, creating a scenario where the driver was "likely" to sustain leg injuries. The batteries in both the Leaf and the Volt passed safety tests specifically targeted at things like thermo and electrical properties and overall integrity. "Nissan is proud of the Leaf's 'Good' rating in all other IIHS tests, a 4-star NCAP rating from NHTSA and its IIHS Top Safety Pick rating in all previous years since the car's release," the company said in an e-mail sent to AutoblogGreen. "As for the performance of the 2014 Leaf in the 'small overlap frontal test,' Nissan will continue to review these and other results from the IIHS 'small overlap frontal test' as we seek opportunities for improvement." Check out the IIHS's press release and small car crash-test video footage below. Range of ratings: Small car ratings run the gamut in challenging small overlap front test The Mini Cooper Countryman is the only small car to earn a good rating among the latest group of 12 cars subjected to the Institute's small overlap front crash test. Two electric models and a hybrid also are in the mix, with varied results. The electric-powered Chevrolet Volt (with a gasoline engine "range extender") earns an acceptable rating, while its battery-electric rival, the Nissan Leaf, earns a poor rating.
