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!!!!!!!

Chevy's Android Auto update will reach cars in March
Fri, Sep 25 2015Buying a new Chevy with the hopes of using Android Auto during your daily commute? You'll have to sit tight for a while before that dream becomes reality. The carmaker announced that an Android Auto software update will only reach its 2016 model-year vehicles next March, starting with those that have 8-inch MyLink touchscreen systems. That's going to be a long half-year wait if you're eager to get Google Maps directions through the center stack. The good news? Chevy is promising that all vehicles with 7- and 8-inch MyLink displays (ranging from the Spark to the Corvette) will eventually have Android Auto, so you won't have to drive one of the brand's swankier machines to get a smartphone-powered infotainment deck. This article by Jon Fingas originally ran on Engadget, the definitive guide to this connected life. Related Video:
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Jay Leno joins the dark side with Darth Vader's car
Mon, Dec 14 2015There still isn't a better Star Wars villain than Darth Vader. The Sith Lord defines menacing with his black suit, deep voice, and a penchant for choking underlings. Maybe The Force Awakens can introduce a better bad guy when the film hits theaters in the coming days, but Vader remains king until then. Jay Leno now shows some respect for the dark side of the force by welcoming Darth's car into his garage. This isn't just the tiny Hot Wheels toy, but the fully drivable version that premiered last year at San Diego Comic-Con. The car's design clearly evokes Vader's iconic helmet, but it still looks like a mean hot rod. Designer Bryan Benedict also shows Leno a few other Star Wars touches in the styling, like the light saber side pipes and Imperial logos on the wheels. One of the coolest features is that the roof rises out of the way to let in passengers, which is a small nod to a scene from The Empire Strikes Back. Underneath the Vader-inspired shape, the car uses a heavily modified C6 Chevrolet Corvette platform, and Jay gets to take it for a short drive. Leno even leans into the dark side with some maniacal laughter while behind the wheel. Related Video:
