 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom.  This is an awesome car that has recently been redone...  The car has went through a lot of updates...  It is an original A/C car.  The prior owner done away with it when the motor was redone.  It has a great running 350 with a slight cam.  Aluminum radiator with electric/automatic fan.  New dual exhaust out of new ceramic coated headers...  Runs and sounds great.  It's got a great sound without being obnoxious.  New wheels and tires with a fresh alignment on front end.  The inside originally was brown with the bench seat.  I changed it to black.  The interior has completely been redone.  New dash pad, door panels, carpet, headliner, seats, custom console with storage, cup holders, Ipod/cd player, new speaker kit on backboard.  Additional hidden storage in backboard as well.  All new weatherstripping and headliner lace all around.  New steering wheel, A pillar tach. custom gauge cluster in dash for easy visibility.  Body matching paint carried through the cab.  New floor mats, door handles, window cranks, etc.  Tinted Windows.  Several  drivetrain parts are also new...  New A arms, sway bar bushings, etc.  Everything that was wore out and needed replaced was replaced...  Reese receiver with 7 plug wiring harness.  New chrome all around, bumpers, mirrors, door handles, bed rails, window trims (front,sides, and back,  etc.  There was some minimal rust on each side of the bed on the rockers.  These 2 areas (1 on each side) was cut out and new metal welded in.  The car originally had a vinyl top.  When I bought it, it was shot.  I elected to remove it and paint the roof.  The roof did have typical surface rust, it was ground down, sealed and finished.  I installed a new SS hood, new SS grill and badges.  I removed the reverse lights, and the rear badge from the tailgate to make a nice, clean & smooth rear end.  The bed is black rhino lined.  The body work was done and finished off with a burnt orange/copper color accented with dark charcoal grey racing stripes on hood and tailgate.  This car is a real head turner...  A lot of work and money was spent on this beauty and I am very proud of it but am moving onto a 48 Ford pickup project.  This is a solid car that is fun to drive, rides great, and is pretty quick.  Just get in and drive...  I know there is a lot of parts that were replaced that I'm failing to mention.  The side trim is original with new mounting clips.  I also have a few misc. items and a small amount of paint to go with the car along with a very nice car cover made for the car.  I'm sure if you're interested, you have questions...  My name is Shane and can be reached at 765-661-6227.  The car is located in Warren, Indiana.  We are roughly 30 minutes south of Ft. Wayne and an hour north of Indianapolis right off of I69.  This car is for sale locally as well.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
