Up for bids is a 68 Chevy Elcamino project car or a great parts car. This car does not come with an engine or trans. This was a running driving car up until I pulled the engine and trans. The trans cross member, radiator, power steering pump and a few other things do come with the car. The body on this car is usuable.  Theres no rust showing through although there has been some repair in the past. The hood looks out of alignment in some of the pics but that's because it isn't bolted on in some of them. The hood has some minor dings or dents but it is repairable. The radiator support and inner fenders all look good. The front fenders seem to have been worked some near the bottoms of them. No rust showing through but there has been work done at some time. Around the wheel well seems good. Both doors seem pretty solid with maybe a little work near the lower outer part and a little inside of one of them in the lower corner. The bottoms of both of them are in great solid condition. The bed seems to have some filler work near the bottoms but around the wheel well I think is ok. Inside the bed has had some work done as well and could stand a better job done on it. The tail gate is real nice except for a small spot on one lower corner of it on the inside. The top has some minor cracking where it looks like maybe it had a vinyl top on it at some time. This is flat black paint or black primer on the entire car. The interior has pretty nice driver quality door panels and both seats are nice. They appear to have come from an olds cutlass. The dash pad, not so good, and theres a big auto meter tach and shift lite mounted on the dash top. There are a couple smaller gauges mounted on the lower dash panel also. The Elcamino has a ratchet type automatic shifter mounted in it, think its a Hurst shifter. Floors have been patched some, are are ok for a daily driver. The frame under this Elcamino needs some repair. Its fixable but does need some attention. The cars sits very low and that's from what looks to be cut coil springs in the front and the rear has air shocks on it. It looks cool but would probably ride like a buckboard wagon. The wheels and tires shown in the pic DONT come with the car but it will have some type rollers on it. Now the rear bumper, front bumper, grille and the front SS emblem all look to be about new. They are all very, very nice and straight and shiny. Also the trim around the headlights is really in great shape. Those items alone add up to lots of money. All the glass is good and as far as trim, if its not in the pic I don't have it. Everything included is pictured. This is an air conditioned car and all the box etc under the hood is there, no compressor or lines. That's about all I know to tell you about this 68 Elcamino so if you have questions please ask so theres no question at the end of the auction. This car comes with a clear VA title. If you read the description carefully, look at the pics thoroughly, you will know exactly what youre getting. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and ALL positive. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. Rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. This car can easily be put back on the road, use it for parts or tear into it and do a complete restoration. Its a super parts car with all the new bumpers etc if you want to go that direction. Also I need to mention this IS NOT an SS car, someone just put the emblems on it sometime in the past. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. Sorry but theres so many non paying bidders these days you have to be careful. The car can sit here up to 30 days or so as long as its paid for according to the auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early as its for sale locally also. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this 68 Elcamino, there getting harder and harder to find.

Chevy, Lincoln dealers say they still want sedans

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Detroit automakers have famously turned their backs on sedans as they make the strategic bet to double down on money-making trucks and SUVs, but dealers for at least two American brands are giving the companies contrary signals. In separate recent interviews with leading national dealer councils for Chevrolet and Lincoln, Automotive News reports that both brands’ dealers still see a need for cars. The publication published a Q&A interview with Mike Bowsher, chairman of the Chevrolet National Dealer Council, who said Chevy dealers managed to hold onto market share last year despite the phase-out of the Cruze compact sedan and hatchback, thanks to products like the Spark and Sonic subcompacts and the Trax and Equinox crossovers. But, he acknowledged, “We do feel like we could use a car, especially in the low-MSRP range.” The comments follow similar recent comments from Tom Lynch, who chairs the Lincoln National Dealer Council. He told AN, “If weÂ’re not in segments where there is still a good amount of business, I think the company and the dealers lose out.” The Cruze was one of the victims of GMÂ’s November 2018 announcement of plant closures, with production having ceased with the closure of GMÂ’s Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant last year. GM sold 47,975 Cruzes in 2019 but a healthy 142,617 in 2018. At Lincoln, Lynch said the council has been telling the company it needs to stick with the sedan segment, despite plans to kill the MKZ sedan in the coming months and unconfirmed reports that the Continental isnÂ’t long for this world, either, despite the buzz of the suicide-door Coach Door Edition, shown in the photo above. Lincoln sold 17,725 MKZs and 6,586 Continental sedans in 2019, down a combined 15%, but still good for almost 22% of overall Lincoln sales. It's worth noting that Lincoln competes in a luxury segment that still expresses allegiance to four- and two-door cars. Even Cadillac, its cross-town rival, is staying active with the upcoming CT5 and CT4 sedans. Lynch pointed to Tesla as evidence that strong sedan products can resonate with consumers, though he conceded that “What that looks like for Lincoln going forward, IÂ’m not sure of.” For now, anyway, Chevy still offers the Sonic and Spark subcompacts, the latter of which saw sales climb 32.5% in 2019 to 31,281 (Sonic sales fell nearly as steeply).

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

GM invests $24 million to build more crew cab trucks in Fort Wayne

Thu, May 30 2019

The full-size pickup truck arms race continues unabated here in the United States as Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler battle back and forth for sales supremacy. The Ford F-Series of trucks continues to lead the field in sales (214,611 units sold through the first quarter of 2019), but the race for second place has been a lot more interesting to watch. That's because Ram, long a distant third in truck sales, eked its way past Chevrolet late in 2018 and has managed to hold the position so far in 2019. Don't take this to mean that sales of GM's trucks have been poor across the board. In fact, the automaker reports that sales of its four-door crew cab pickups are up 20 percent in 2019 over the same period a year ago. And that's what makes GM's announcement today so interesting. The automaker is investing $24 million into its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana to build more Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, and the focus will continue to be on crew cab models. "We are building Chevrolet and GMC crew cab pickups at record volume and mix levels to meet customer demand and the $24 million investment will allow us to build even more," said GM chief Mary Barra in a statement. "Crew cab sales have been very strong, and we are expanding customer choice with new models, more cab choices and innovative new powertrains." It's worth noting that, if crew cab sales are up 20% this year, but overall sales are down (over 15% for Silverado and around 2% for GMC), that means it's the cheaper regular cab and double cab models that are lagging. At the same time, sales of the midsize Chevy Colorado have surged 16%. And finally, if you combine sales of the Silverado and Sierra into one bucket, GM still has a comfortable lead over Ram overall. If there's a takeaway here, it's that trucks of all shapes and sizes have been, currently are and will surely remain hot in America, and automakers will continue to invest money into making sure they are able to satiate consumer demand.
