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!!!!!!!

Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024
Fri, May 31 2024As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled
Mon, Jan 19 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
2016 Chevy Cruze is lighter, loaded [UPDATE]
Thu, Jun 25 2015UPDATE: Live photos and video of the reveal have been added at the end of the story. Chevrolet revealed the second-generation Cruze Wednesday, promising a larger, more efficient car that drives better than the sedan it replaces. We're particularly excited about the new turbocharged, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 153 horsepower, an upgrade from the outgoing 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine's 138 hp. Torque climbs even more significantly, from 148 pound-feet to 177 in the new mill. Peak twist can be called up between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, which should make performance easy to access. Combined with a lighter architecture that slashes the Cruze's curb weight by 250 pounds (although the actual curb weight hasn't been released), the new four-door can hit 60 miles per hour in a respectable eight seconds. That's not hot hatchback territory, but it should be more than suitable for the average consumer. That same consumer should also appreciate the new engine's economy. The Cruze now returns an even 40 miles per gallon on the highway and will cover 530 miles on a single tank, all the while running on plain old 87-octane fuel. There's also a diesel-powered Cruze model, although Chevy didn't release specific details, aside from saying that it will arrive in dealers in 2017, over a year after the gas-powered model's early 2016 on-sale date. Despite the 250-pound drop in weight, the new Cruze has grown significantly. Its wheelbase is now the longest in the segment, with 106.3 inches of sheetmetal between the front and rear axles compared to 105.7 in last year's model, while the sleek new body cuts the coefficient of drag to just 0.29. The overall length increases from 181 inches to 183.7, though the new model is nearly an inch lower overall. That's both good news and bad news for interior space. Rear legroom is up from 35.4 to 36.1, but headroom is down in both the front and backseats by over half an inch. Tech fans, meanwhile, will appreciate the new standard MyLink display. The seven-inch touchscreen is compatible with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while an optional eight-inch display will be offered, as well. 4G LTE wi-fi, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and wireless phone charging will also be offered as an optional extras. New safety features include blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, and forward collision warning.
