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!!!!!!!

1970 Chevy Camaro gets 650-hp crate engine for SEMA
Tue, Nov 3 2015The latest edition of the Chevrolet Performance catalog arrives at the 2015 SEMA Show, and to demonstrate the insane creations that are possible with it, the company has a seriously powerful machine in tow. This custom 1970 Camaro RS boasts the new LT4 crate engine that makes a staggering 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. The offering gives hot rod builders the ability to put the Corvette Z06's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into any project where they can make the mill fit. This Hyper Blue Metallic Camaro should offer neck-snapping performance with its massively powerful engine and a T-56 Super Magnum six-speed manual gearbox. Chevy's show car is about more than just packing copious horsepower into a classic shape, though. The builders also overhaul the suspension with coilovers at the front and rear, in addition to a four-link setup at the back. Behind the 19-inch aluminum wheels, the coupe has Z06-based brakes at both ends. For better visibility, it wears LED headlights and taillights. Plus, the interior gets custom gauges and a six-point roll cage. With pieces like titanium intake valves and forged aluminum pistons, the LT4 crate engine comes ready to offer serious performance, but Chevy also gives builders a few options to fit their application. The mill is available with either wet- or dry-sump lubrication. Depending on the version, there are kits to fit front-end accessories, air conditioning, and power steering, as well. The new Chevy Performance catalog features other high-performance components like Z06-based parts for the standard Stingray and an array of performance upgrades for the 2016 Camaro, including suspension lowering kits, brake upgrades, and more. We look forward to seeing this vast collection of goodies at SEMA this year.

As the supercharged 6.2L heart of the Corvette Z06, the LT4 is rated at 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production-vehicle engine ever from General Motors. The new crate engine Ā offered in dry-sump and wet-sump versions Ā allows builders to use the high-tech performance engine in their hot rod projects.
1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

Chevy Silverado Realtree Edition calls to your inner woodsman
Thu, Jan 21 2016Hunters and woodsmen, this could be your next pickup truck. It's a special-edition Silverado, done up with the camo specialists at Realtree. This truck packs all the off-road equipment you could want, and boasts a special appearance package to set it apart from ordinary citified pickups. The Realtree edition is based on the 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 in LTZ trim with a crew cab and the Z71 package. It's all blacked out, from the bodywork and Bowtie emblems to the side steps and 20-inch wheels with their all-terrain tires. It features Realtree logos and camouflage graphics inside and out, and since it comes with the Z71 pack, it also features monotube shocks, a locking rear diff, an underbody shield, and hill-decent control. This special edition results from a decade-long partnership between Chevrolet and Realtree, but stops short of a full camo treatment. For that, you may want to scope out the Special Ops edition recently confirmed for production after its debut at SEMA (alongside another Realtree show truck). Outdoorsy types, however, may very well be more attracted to this Realtree special, which could prove just the foil GM needs to the Ram Mossy Oak Edition. It launches in the spring, just in time for hunting season though you'll still need to fit your own gun rack. Related Video: CHEVROLET INTRODUCES SILVERADO REALTREEĀ® EDITION HERE'S THE STORY Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Silverado RealtreeĀ® Edition Ā an outdoors-inspired special edition that leverages the strength, versatility and personalization possibilities of the Silverado and distinguishes it with camo graphics from Realtree, the world's leading camouflage brand. It's the latest and strongest example of a decade-long partnership between Chevrolet and Realtree. PRODUCT DETAILS The new RealtreeĀ® Edition package is offered on Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 crew cab models and includes exterior camo graphics and the Realtree logo embroidered on the front-seat headrests. Additionally, interior attributes feature the Realtree camo logo and graphics. The Silverado RealtreeĀ® edition also includes special blackout trim, black bow ties, off-road assist steps and black 20" wheels with all-terrain tires. Also included is the legendary Z71 off-road package featuring Rancho monotube shocks, Hill Decent Control, an underbody shield and the G80 auto locking rear differential.
