Hello, Up for auction is a 1971 Chevrolet Elcamino Project. This is a Non A/C car. This car was pulled out of a barn after sitting for 28 years. it does not run but the engine does turn over by hand. The couple i bough it from assured me it was a perfect running car when it was parked.so I would think a good tank cleaning and fresh gas it should fire right up. It has the original 350 with a turbo 350 Trans. Also has a 12 bolt posi rear end. It does have 8" corvette Rally wheels. One does need a tire that's why there is a cragar on in the pictures. The car will need a complete restoration to be perfect. However it is a solid one to start with. The body is in really good shape for the year. It has a really nice vinyl top. The bed has no rust in it. Front fenders are a little soft at the bottom and passenger fender appears to have some filler in it. The interior is in pretty good shape. The dash has no cracks and with a good wipe down it would look great. The door panels are in nice shape. the bucket seats are not original to the car. We believe they are out of a cuda The carpet is in good shape. the only thing the interior really needs is a good cleaning and a head liner. The headliner is there its just ripped. Underside of the car is pretty much solid besides a rust spot the size of a quarter on the passenger side. The frame on this does have rust where the rear trailing arms connect. when I noticed this I started looking for a good frame to put under it. I found another 71 that was out of California and was pretty much a parts car though solid. So in addition to the red and black 71 you get a ton of extra parts. Most important is the frame. it is a complete rolling rust free frame. It does have the front disc break set up on it. The red one has drums in the front so that is a plus when its switched over. The extra frame also has a 10 bolt rear end. I have made a list of the extra parts included with the sale. and have taken pictures of everything. So with this sale you get the complete Red and Black 71 and all these extra parts:

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova
Tue, Dec 30 2014Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.
