3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!! OK guys you may want to get a snack and a beer or two before you start reading this because it may take awhile. Up for bids is a 1971 El Camino, im going to call this a running, driving project car but it can be run as is with just a few minor things checked. I have only driven this car a few miles near my home as its not licensed or insured. First off let me say that you need to look at the pictures very carefully, enlarge them and look at all thats been bought for and done to this car. Lots and lots of money has been spent on it. Engine parts and machine shop labor, wiring, tires, radiator, etc, it goes on and on. There are many parts from Jegs, Summit and others. Look at the pics!!!!!! This car belonged to a guy that had some cash but had very little mechanical ability so he had to rely on others to do the work for him. The owner got discouraged waiting for the work to be done as was promised and decided to sell the car. Now, this car isnt perfect but let me say its an extremely nice running driving project car. Let me start with the body. The top has a dent in the right front corner that came from something falling on it, its not major and its just what you see in one of the pics, an easy fix. The hood is nice, grille is driver quality and the front bumper is straight, just needs rechromed. The inner fenders seem good but the passenger has a little rust where the battery sits. The right fender is very good, the left one has a few bubbles from a earlier minor repair. The drivers door has a small amout of rust bubbles on the outer panel only, also minor, bottom is very solid. Passenger door is showing a little rust coming out on the outer panel only and a very small place on the bottom of it, towards the front, not major. Both quarter panels have some very minor rust starting behind the rear wheels, none at all around the wheel wells. The lip of the wheel wells have been rolled in a little for tire clearance. Guys I have tried to add pics of all the rust places I have spoken of so you can see for yourself its very, very minor. The tailgate has some paint cracking on it from where it has been bumped a little but its also easily fixed. The tailgate has a coupe holes on the inside bottom of it but its NOT all rotted away. The bed floor only has about 2 holes the size of a quartes in it, very good. The rear bumper has a small dent in it but its good for a daily driver. The bottom of this El Camino, floors etc, is amazingly solid. One of the best ive ever seen on this type of car. I think i may have seen 2 rust places the size of a quarter somewhere near the underbed storage area, very, very solid guys. The frame is also in great condition. The paint on this car is about 6 out of ten id guess. What it needs is to be blocked sanded and resprayed as it seems a little wavy, probably because of old paint under it. It still shines good but has some nics etc from normal everyday wear and tear. All the glass is good, windshield has some wiper scratch like most all cars but not serious, All the other glass has a very dark tint on it as seen in the pics. It is a pretty good job but since its film its easily removed if you dont like it. Looks to have new front brakes and think the rears have been replaced also including the wheel cylinders.Tires are new, see the pics, rally wheels are nice but one center cap is missing. The interior is pretty nice but still needs a little attention. Seat has been recovered, door panels are pretty nice driver quality. Carpet is good, maybe faded a little in a spot or two but its clean. One kick panel is missing. The dash pad has a crack in it but still looks good, There is a radio there but dont think its hooked up. The heater controls are missing because plans were to add a vintage air unit but never got around to it. This was an ac car and the heater box and lines under the hood are there along with the compressor and bracket to put it back on the engine. The El Camino has power steering and brakes. A Painless wiring harness was added to this car, see the pics for the cost of that. The engine in this car has had lots and lots of money spent on it as shown by the pics of the receipts. Look them over carefull guys as those pics tell a lot about the engine, Machine work, new internal parts,a finned aluminum oil pan, and also a aluminum pan for the trans. Theres a billet dipstick, chrome air cleaner and the icing on the cake is the March pulley system on it also. Price one of those kits and it will knock your eyes out, see the receipt for it in a pic also. It has a new aluminum radiator and a new electric fan installed, also pics of that cost also. Guys you all know what all this stuff costs so the price on this car is a steal for what youre getting. The car also has a set of Hedman headers and flowmaster dual exhaust, it sounds super nice!!!! The exhaust is done right with the tailpipes exiting behind the wheels. Guys ive tried to hit on everything this car has and youd be hard pressed to find a deal even close to this one. You dont see all these extras on many cars here on ebay. The El Camino just needs a little TLC guys, thats all. It starts right up and shifts fine, no problems there. You just need to take it and give it a good going over because its been off the road a few months. I suggest transporting it but if you want to drive it thats your decision. Id just hate to see something minor cause you to ruin an engine like this. I cant express enough how important it is to look at the pics of all the parts and accessories that have been added to this car. Add them up and the El Camino is the deal of the century. You cant buy a 1971 El Camino and do all this for even close to my buy it now price. Reserve is right at the buy it now so if youre interested dont hesitate, you wont be disappointed!!!! I also reserve the right to end the auction early as its listed for sale locally also. I may be able to help with shipping arrangements depending on where you are located. Over all this is a nice car, the rust places ive mentioned are very minor and easily repaired guys, the paint is good for a daily driver, interior is driver quality also, new tires, and it runs great. Checkout my feedback guys as its right at 600 and all positive. You dont get great feedback like that id you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. Read the description carefully, look at the pics and you will know exactly what to expect.Ask any questions you may have, dont assume anything. Dont miss out on this once in a life time deal. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this super 71 El Camino. REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!

eBay Find of the Day: Mario Andretti's personal 2009 Corvette ZR1
Wed, Jan 7 2015With victory in the the Indianapolis 500, a Formula 1 World Championship, a win in the Daytona 500 and too many other motorsports accomplishments to list, Mario Andretti stands among not just the greatest American racing drivers of all time, but the greatest drivers, full stop. Apparently, the champ is also a fan of speed when not on the track, because now there's a chance to own what is said tobe his personal 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 12,872 miles on the clock. The eBay Motors auction page clearly shows Mario Andretti standing with the car, but the rest of the ad is admittedly short on details. The vehicle history report lists only one previous owner – ostensibly Andretti. The exterior is a handsome Blade Silver Metallic accompanied by a Dark Titanium leather interior. However, the seller keeps additional information to a minimum as well with the description simply stating, "This 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is owned by Mario Andretti and has been garage kept all its life. It is fully loaded with all option on this car." The future buyer will get a seriously great car along with some huge bragging rights at any party by touting its ownership history. We've reached out to the seller for more particulars and provenance, and will update this story if we hear back. In the meantime, the auction for this C6 ends on Thursday, January 8, and currently the reserve isn't met. The price sits at a hefty $68,100 as of this writing, with six bids registered.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
