How about it VOLS fans (or Longhorns fans, too)? What better way to show up at Neyland (or Royal) next fall that in this Classic El Camino in your favorite colors? Of course, we don't want to exclude other classic car fans, either. In fact who wouldn't get the biggest kick out of daily driving, or just cruising in this great GM A body unique design? The good news is that for whatever reason you buy, you are going to get a CarFax DOCUMENTED 88,000 MILE, NO ACCIDENTS, RUST-FREE FL/GA, great running and smooth handling car that is TOTALLY USABLE and elicits THUMBS-UP at every light. Let me repeat part of that; RUST FREE, that means none, nada, clean! The bright orange repaint was done after a strip to bare metal (it only measures 6mil) and there is only two small patches of filler needed to smooth out minor dents. The bed is in incredible shape - not only NO RUST, but no sign of there ever having been even the usual scratches, dents, and surface corrosion you'd expect. Look closely at the pictures; you'll see! The bed topper is a GM original option from what we understand and it, too, is in great shape and is very easy for two people to remove and reinstall. The engine is the original 5.0 V8, though the power-robbing air pump has been disconnected and an Edelbrook aluminum manifold and a BRAND NEW HOLLEY 4-barrel have been installed. The HEI ignition was recently replaced, all the way down to the distributor shaft for easy starts and very smooth running. Tires are very recent MICHELIN'S and the brakes are up to par.

The cabin is very clean, smoke-free, and really quite comfortable with a split-bench seat and tilt column. Being a CONQUISTA, it features POWER WINDOWS and a REMOTE-CONTROL MIRROR (whoo-hoo!). The carpet is in need of replacement and the new one is included in the deal. But that's about all the new owner will need to do to make this car show-ready or cruise-worthy. AND you can haul pine straw from HOME DEPOT in it; try that in your 'Vette or custom A-body coupe.

In short, this is a NO EXCUSES, NO STORIES, straight-up car. It starts every time, hot or cold. Idles in traffic indefinitely without the temp gauge moving up. It will bury its 85mph speedometer easily and effortlessly cruise all day at that speed, the 4-speed Overdrive trans netting fuel economy certainly at least on par with a modern big SUV! The car does not shake or rattle, but it does ROLL! As you would expect from a babied 88k car, the suspension is tight (as tight as '80s cars get, that is) and the body sits properly on the unitized frame. Doors and tailgate shut with authority. The Chrome is excellent with most of the rubber trim having been replaced in the last few years. In order words - NOT A PROJECT CAR!

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
