This is a 1971 El Camino that is rut free. It was restored some years back and isn't show quality but a very solid car that's been painted red and gold with the tan interior. There are a few chips and scratches, nothing major but going from a show car. The bed of the el camino is in excellent shape and has been rhino lined the similar tan color staying with the theme of red and gold. Power steering power disk runs and drives excellent. I believe this have been a 350 car originally. The current engine is a real GM Performance 502 crate engine with 3900 miles on it, yes the $10,000 dollar one when youre done with everything. Ceramic headers 400 turbo transmission, 12 bolt posi rear end with boxed control arms. Im not a big el camino fan but if I had a Chevelle or Camaro Id transfer these items and sell the el camino but I don't and with 6 other cars, none of them are chevy's for this excellent set up. Has the 850 carb and proper distributer that is called for by GM, electric fuel pump, huge 4 core radiator, Flowmaster mufflers that end at the rear axle, tach and gages, and air shocks. This car drives excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Aftermarket rims and BFG tires. We added a little more timing to it because of the altitude here in Denver and its a flat out monster, a Denver car. Original internals so no cam change or anything like that. Just so there is no emails asking for the price, the reserve is $8k. The deluxe version of this engine is close to 9k but you still don't get everything that's been added here. I would and guess will use it in one of my other cars but like chevy with chevy and ford with ford so this engine in an olds will work and am ok going that route if it doesn't sell. Ive never driven one of these crates before and was pleasantly surprised. I have this advertised locally and reserve the right to end at anytime if I get my price. Trading up or down locally for Olds 442 Buick GS or GTO also but if the reserve is met here, I will sell here and let auction run out. Will be adding more photos.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers
Fri, Oct 31 2014If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
