  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.

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's

Thu, Oct 4 2018

GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
