ORIGINAL "SURVIVOR"-CLASS AUTOMOBILE ! NUMBERS-MATCHING 2-OWNER SUPER SPORT ! V8, 4-SPEED, POSITRACTION 305 ! THEY'RE ONLY ORIGINAL,ONCE ! This numbers-matching V8 4-speed positraction el Camino Super Sport is an unmolested, factory-stock, 2-owner classic! The drivetrain is untouched, has never required mechanical repair and still wears it's factory light blue engine paint. And it runs like the day it was delivered! It has only been driven 49,546 miles since leaving the assembly line, it's practically new! The M20 4-speed shifts smoothly without any problems, and the smooth, noise-free 3.08 positraction rear axle keeps the rear wheels from spinning and losing traction. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW AN ORIGINAL, UN-MOLESTED 4-SPEED EL CAMINO FOR SALE??? This car shines in it's original metallic brown paint with black lower accent and factory tri-color tape stripes. While the paint is exceptional for its age and shows the great care taken of the vehicle, there are some small chips present around the exterior and one small surface rust spot. The rust spot is at the bottom edge of the passenger-side quarter window on the horizontal surface (see photo). There is no other rust or rot on the vehicle, anywhere, other than mild underbody surface rust typical of a road-driven vehicle. This car WAS driven in the rain and rarely in light snow when the owner was caught away from home, but there is NO rust or rot-through condition anywhere. See the photos. The interior has no rips or stained spots, the seats look almost new, the headliner is intact and looks like new, there are no tears on the door panels and the carpet is not stained and ripped and is only slightly/modestly worn. The dash pad is PERFECT, no splits or gouges. Also, the door panels have a horizontal stripe of what appears to be a medium brown vinyl dye; the original owner states the car came this way from the dealer. Best guess is that the dealer attempted to "jazz up" the interior by adding these dyed areas to the door panels as no record or photos have been found showing this feature as a factory-available option. See the photos. These dyed sections do need to be re-sprayed as the original coating has worn off in areas. This Super Sport el Camino was built at GM's Doraville, GA assembly plant on or about October 20, 1978 and delivered to the dealer, Sunderland Chevrolet (dealer no. 49-580) in Lemoyne, PA and was sold to its first retail purchaser on February 12, 1979. The buyer had the dealer remove the factory AM radio and install an AM/FM radio in its place (original AM radio comes with the car) and a below-bumper trailer hitch and 4-plug wiring. The buyer was a married couple and the vehicle was mostly driven by the wife in short distances to work and shopping. The original condition of the vehicle testifies as to how well it was taken care of during their ownership. The Seller purchased the el Camino as its second owner in November 2011; it is owned under a clear, signed Pennsylvania title from the original, owner and a notarized Bill of Sale. This is a numbers-matching, documented history, factory original, low-mileage "Survivor" vehicle. It cannot be overemphasized how unique this makes this el Camino. If you love Chevy el Caminos and appreciate the increased value of a low-mileage 4-speed V8 no-rust car in the collector world , this is the car for you. Except for normal maintenance items and a new stock exhaust system, this vehicle is just the way it was delivered from the original Chevrolet dealer. As is somewhat typical, the a/c system is not currently operating; all components are present, but according to the original owner the compressor bearings got noisy so he had the drive belt removed; supposedly the system is charged with original refrigerant and just needs the bearing replaced or a rebuilt compressor. Serious buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle. Please call 508-869-6670 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EDT, to arrange an inspection time or to ask any questions.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application
Fri, Dec 26 2014In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

GM earnings rise 1% as buyers pay more for popular pickups
Thu, Aug 1 2019DETROIT — General Motors said Thursday that higher prices for popular pickup trucks and SUVs helped overcome slowing global sales and profit rose by 1% in the second quarter. The Detroit automaker said it made $2.42 billion, or $1.66 per share, from April through June. Adjusting for restructuring costs, GM made $1.64 per share, blowing by analyst estimates of $1.44. Quarterly revenue fell 2% to $36.06 billion, but still beat estimates. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $35.97 billion. Global sales fell 6% to 1.94 million vehicles led by declines in North America and Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The company says sales in China were weak, and it expects that to continue through the year. In the United States, customers paid an average of $41,461 for a GM vehicle during the quarter, an increase of 2.2%, as buyers went for loaded-out pickups and SUVs, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site. The U.S. is GM's most profitable market. Chief Financial Officer Dhivya Suryadevara said she expects the strong pricing to continue, especially as GM rolls out a diesel pickup and new heavy-duty trucks in the second half of the year. "We think the fundamentals do remain strong, especially in the truck market," she said, adding that strength in the overall economy and aging trucks now on the road should help keep the trend going. Light trucks accounted for 83.1% of GM's sales in the quarter, and pickup truck sales rose 8.5% as GM transitioned to new models of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, according to Edmunds, which provides content to The Associated Press. As usual, GM made most of its money in North America, reporting $3 billion in pretax earnings. International operations including China broke even, while the company spent $300 million on its GM Cruise automated vehicle unit. Its financial arm made $500 million in pretax income. Suryadevara said GM saw $700 million in savings during the quarter from restructuring actions announced late last year that included cutting about 8,000 white-collar workers through layoffs, buyouts and early retirements. The company also announced plans to close five North American factories, shedding another 6,000 jobs. About 3,000 factory workers in the U.S. whose jobs were eliminated at four plants will be placed at other factories, but they could have to relocate. GM expects the restructuring to generate $2 billion to $2.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of this year.
Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.
