1965 Chevelle/el Camino One Of A Kind 2 Owner Very Special Car Garaged on 2040-cars
Burbank, California, United States
No Reserve The highest bidder owns this El Camino. I bought this car off the original owner in factory original condition 1994. I restored it, showed it, drove it and garaged it over years, the last picture of the car was taken on our drive way in 1995. I have a file full of receipts including the protect-o-plate and original sales receipt etc.. I am letting go of the car without a reserve for personal reasons. I restore classic 60's cars and this el camino is my own personal car. 1965 chevelle/el camino with mostly all it's original parts from the factory. And some non original items such as the front seat upholstery, floor mats, cigarette lighter, radio antenna, engine and drive train. Local California car with no rust bought in Van Nuys California. I had the car lowered 2 inches all around back in 1996 or so. The body is super straight. Recent (less than a year old) 383 4 bolt main stroker engine with all the go fast goodies hand built by myself that's barley broken in with less than 200 miles, B&M turbo 350 3 speed automatic with shift kit and 2500 stall converter, a posi-traction with 411 geared rear end, from back in 1996 all refreshed. The brakes on the car are the factory manual all drum (never upgraded), recently replaced but the car can use a power disc brake conversion kit. The under side of the car looks just as nice as the rest. Exterior and steering wheel were sprayed a sea foam green from hot rod flatz a couple of years back, the dash and door jams were not. The paint has very minor nicks caused by road debris in about five areas, (would need to be up close to see). The front two eyebrow molding around the headlights were bent when installed, also the interior dome light lens is missing (see pic). Everything works lights, signals, radio etc.. The stereo system in the glove box is just the custom box an empty alpine face cover box a pioneer remote and there is a older alpine cd changer in the back along with the cables that were ran all come with the car (the actual stereo system I removed a long time ago). Rims, tires, shocks, trim, paint, moldings, chrome, bumpers are all like new condition. Current registration, ready to be enjoyed and driven (not sitting parked in a garage). The looks Great and always gets attention when out. It is super fast, lots of torque. Overall a beautiful very clean reliable hot rod. I am very sad to let her go but I must. One thing I can say for sure is the new owner is going to be VERY happy. Please feel free to contact me with questions or to come see the car before bidding. Please leave a message and I will call back. I have the car up for sale locally as well. Thank you (818) 427-2800

GM learning from current Chevy Volt owners as it works on next-gen model
Tue, Sep 16 2014Details of the second-generation Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid are coming in at a trickle, and the latest is that the 2016 model-year Volt will be improved in all meaningful areas, including performance and all-electric range, says General Motors powertrain director Larry Nitz. 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Nitz was speaking to Autoline After Hours about the current and future Volt. He said that GM has been tracking Volt driving habits and found that about two-thirds of the Volts' collective miles are driven in electric mode, and that 81 percent of all Volt trips were done in pure EV mode. Additionally, Volt drivers plug the car in 10 times each week, on average. Nitz also said 82 percent of the Volt's commuting miles are coming from the plug instead of the gas tank. Oh, and 60 percent of Volt customers only charge using a standard 110 outlet. Last month, GM released a teaser shot of the 2016 Volt (above) and said the car would make its worldwide debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show next January. Earlier this year, the Volt was reported to be getting a new chassis for the upcoming version. The Volt could use a bit of new life. Through August, Volt sales were down 12 percent from a year earlier to 13,146 units, and sales plunged 25 percent alone. That compares unfavorably to the Nissan Leaf battery-electric vehicle, whose 2014 sales have jumped 34 percent to almost 19,000 units. You can see Nitz dish the goods in the video below (Volt comments start at around minute 15). You will also notice AutoblogGreen contributor Gary Witzenburg talk about his history with the EV1 and share his take on the Volt. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM might lose 90-year U.S. sales crown over chip shortage
Sat, Oct 2 2021Automotive News editor Nick Bunkley tweeted on October 1 that according to AutoNews data, General Motors "has been the largest seller of vehicles in the U.S. every year since passing Ford in 1931." With automakers having turned in light car and truck sales data for the first three quarters of 2021, GM's 90-year-run might not reach 91. According to AN figures, Toyota was 80,401 vehicles ahead when the October workday started. Worse, GM is so far behind its historic pace that it might only sell enough light vehicles in the U.S. to match its numbers from 1958. Meanwhile, the New York Times put a few more salient numbers to the pain GM and Toyota are enduring alongside the the rest of the industry. GM sold 33% fewer cars in Q3 2021 than it did in Q3 2019 during the dark days of the pandemic, 446,997 units this year as opposed to 665,192 last year. GM's Q3 2020 was only down 13% on Q3 2019. Over at Toyota, the bottom line showed a 1% gain in Q3 2021 compared to 2020, with 566,005 units moved off dealer lots. The finer numbers show two steps forward and one step back, though; Toyota's September sales were down 22% compared to last year. GM remains optimistic about what's ahead, GM's president of North American operations telling the NYT, "We look forward to a more stable operating environment through the fall." We'd like to see that happen, but we don't know how it happens. The chip shortage said to have been the inciting incident for the current woes isn't over, and not only can no one agree when it will be over, the automakers, chip producers, and U.S. government still can't get on the same page about who needs what and when. Looking away from that for a second shows articles about "No End In Sight" for supply chain disruptions in early September, before China had to start working through power supply constraints, global supply chain workers started warning of a "system collapse," and roughly 500,000 containers sat waiting to be unloaded at Southern California ports — a record number seemingly broken every week. And back to chips, we're told just a few days ago the chip shortage is "worse than we thought."  For now, the NYT wrote that GM dealer inventory is down 40% from June to roughly 129,000 vehicles, and down 84% from the days when dealers would cumulatively keep about 800,000 light vehicles in stock. However, GM just announced it would have almost all of its U.S. facilities back online next week, although some would run at partial capacity.
Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
