This is a consignment item for my father in-law. He is old school and doesn't understand computers or eBay. I will do my best for correspondence and answer questions as punctual as possible. The title is signed and in my possession as he is a OTR driver and frequently out of town. This is his right up of the vehicle and was critiqued by my self to enhance accuracy. The vehicle is "as is" and BUYER is responsible for transport cost or pick up. Buyer is expected to make a $500.00 deposit and pay the remainder within prior to pick-up and cashier check is preferable or paypal works. Thanks for looking and happy bidding :-) Regards, Mike

1985 Chevrolet El Camino
111,780 original family owned miles
My moms car, she was the original owner from new, then I inherited it.  Texas car for ten years of it's life, then relocated back to it's home area in Illinois in 1996. Since then it's served me well as my errand runner and maintenance has been kept up on. Great car and well taken care of most its life. Some age issues including surface rust and door bushing wear causing doors to be out of line. The car runs okay but could use a tune up. The cars exhaust is leaky, not loud as much as puffy. A few smaller dents as pictured and some oxidation on exterior along with surface rust patches. Solid underneath with little concern of problems, mainly sills and edges affected by rust but not throughout panels. Bumpers are great shape with only one small dent in rear and larger dent on the side, trim and chrome are good with lots of potential. Front bumper and grill are in great shape and shine well with a good clean. The tires are newer, fuel pump was replaced along with battery  not long ago and oil is freshly changed. The motor is a 4.3 liter 6 cylinder and was rebuilt in 2003. The cars interior is in good condition, the rear view mirror is missing and there is a small chip on windshield. The seats have a small split on the seam on driver side upper bolster. The dash has 3 splits from heat. The window winding handles are missing. Love the car but gotta let it go. Thanks, Raul.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
