  Up for sale is my 1970 El Camino. This car is exactly as I bought it 5 years ago. I have too many toys and this one must leave to make more room in the garage. This car is powered by a 402 chevy big block and has plenty of power. I do not know the exact horsepower of the engine as it is not the original engine. It came off the line with a 350 small block, but the previous owner put the big block in the car and I could not get alot of information from him when I bought the car. He had the engine put in the car and was not a mechanic, so it is what it is. She is very fast and this is not a driving Miss Daisy car. It does have a posi rear end with 4:11 gears, automatic trans with a shift kit. It has IROC - Z rims that came with the car and good rubber on the tires. I do not have any other rims or tires for the car. This is a good solid car and I have not been able to find any mud in the car at all, so I believe it all to be solid metal. I am the third owner of the car. The last owner of the car owned it for 28 years and sold it to me when his health started to fail. The origianl color of the car was orange, but was air brushed painted for show. It was an original Detroit Autorama show car and then painted the current color. I did not pick the color as it sits now, but get alot of compliments on the car. This is the original milage on the car. The frame is very solid as is the whole car. It does have 1 small tear in the headliner and the seats are not original. The seats are out of an old Pontiac Fiero and are in good condition. The gauges on the hood all work. The lighter and gas gauge do not work. I have a new lighter for the car, but have not worked on the gas gauge. I do believe that it is just a bad ground. Everything else works correctly on the car. It does not have air conditioning. All the running lights and back up lights work. I did put a new radio in the car with 4 speakers. It is a MP3/CD player with remote. It also has air shocks in the rear with drum brakes rear and disc brakes in the front. Like I said this is a fast car and you will not be disappointed with the engine and powertrain. The car has been stored in my heated garage since I bought her.

  I will not accept paypal for this item. I will only accept cash or certified bank checks. I will not take any trades or silly offers, so please don't bother asking. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to pull the listing at any time. I am not a mechanic and can only answer certain questions about the car. I have listed the car with a very resonable reserve price and will supply all documentation that I have for the car including a clear Ohio title. I will not deliver this car. The buyer is responsible for pick up or delivery of the vehicle. I live about 20 minutes west of Cleveland, OH where the car can be viewed. I have descibed the car as honestly as possible. If you have any questions, please shoot me an email and I will answer them as best I can. Thank you in advance and good luck bidding.

GM recalls trucks and SUVs for brake pedal problem

Thu, Feb 11 2016

The Basics: General Motors will recall over 473,000 North American examples of the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD, and police pursuit versions of the Chevy Tahoe. These include 426,573 vehicles in the US and 46,837 in Canada, according to Reuters. The Problem: The brake pivot nut can loosen over time, which can render the pedal inoperative. This would be a danger to drivers trying to stop the vehicles. In some cases, the "Service Engine Soon" light might come on. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt, and if necessary they will apply adhesive to it and reinstall the part with increased torque. If You Own One: "We expect to start customer notifications shortly," GM spokesperson Tom Wilkinson told Autoblog.

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, it could interfere with the accelerator pedal, and/or the driver may be unable to safely stop the vehicle through application of the brake pedal, potentially affecting stopping distances and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the pivot bolt installation to determine whether the vehicle has already received the production remedy. If not, the dealer will add adhesive to the nut, and reinstall the nut at an increased torque. Note: This condition may result in the "Service Engine Soon" light illuminating, and brake lights may stay on longer than expected.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

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.
