1969 El Camino 327, Restored In Beautiful Condition on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:57354
Location:

Seattle, Washington, United States

Seattle, Washington, United States

 1969 El Camino 327, i bought the car from a friend and it had been stored for 10 years in a dry garage after they started and did not finished the restoration. They had added a rebuilt engine, rebuilt automatic trans, new exhaust systems, to only name a few things, but drove it for a short time and then parked it in the garage for 10 years. I did get proof of the cost they spent on the car, and it was just over $10,000 not including the purchase price of the vehicle. The speedo indicates 57354 miles, i believe the correct mileage is 157354 as this is a 45 yo car, and we do know that 12 years ago it read 136800 on the customers receipt.

When my son was growing up i taught him how to restore cars, and of all we did his favorite was the 1969 El Camino which i sold to help pay for his college. He is now 31 and  returned last year to Washington State. I thought it would be a nice surprise to give him another El Camino, so i spent the past year+ finishing the restoration of this El Camino. In the meantime he acquired a son, now car isn't as important as the baby, and i am too old (76) to drive it much.

I had a retired painter friend block sand and  prepare the car for paint, and then had it professionally painted apply Black base coat clear coat. Before the car was painted i removed most of the chrome trim and installed new chrome, we also installed the new carpets that they bought 10 years ago, upgraded the brakes to power assist, added new shocks and have driven it only 300 miles.

The bid is starting at $6,000.00, but there is a minimum that i will accept, that is above that price. Please do not did if you don't have the cash, don't bid if you have a bad history with Ebay or Pay pal, but feel free to contact me thru the Ebay listing if you have any questions. Leave your name, tele number and a brief message, and i will return your call within 48 hours or less.

This car is available to world wide buyers, but please contact me first to discuss the shipping options.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
