1972 Chevy El Camino Loaded Big Block Classic-vintage-project Car on 2040-cars
Union, West Virginia, United States
|
Up for bids is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino that was an original factory big block car. There is no engine or transmission with this car, body only. This car is very rare and unique because of its factory options and the condition it is in. This car has been in inside storage since around 2002. Before that it was stripped and sprayed with an epoxy or etching primer. It has had both quarter panels replaced at about the same time. Guys you will not believe this cars condition till you see it with your own eyes. Underneath this car is O rust. that's right, no rust. The floors, frame, braces under the bed etc are all very, very solid. Its unbelievable for a car this age to be this rust free. If youre looking for the right car to restore don't miss out on this one. On top of no rust underneath, to make it even more rare and appealing its loaded with options not found everyday on a 1972 El Camino. It has a 12 bolt rear, front power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, actual cowl induction hood and a tilt steering column. You don't find all this on one car very often. The front clip was removed when I got the car but most parts are there to put it back as a complete car as it should be. Right off I see missing are as follows, hood hinges, front bumper brackets, one inner fender,and I think theres supposed to be a filler panel that goes between the grille and bumper missing. There may be some trim pieces also missing but I have a lot of it. The doors are very nice except I think theres a very small rust spot on the lower corner of the drivers door, very small, think theres a pic of it. Bottoms of the doors are great as are the door jams and rocker panels. The front fenders are good but I think someone replaced the bottom of one of them, not rusted through but they have replaced it with a new section, its done nicely. The cowl induction hood seems very solid also. I do not have the original induction air cleaner assy but there available aftermarket reasonable. The radiator support is there and appears to be very solid and it has the AC condenser still attached to it. Both bumpers are very, very nice driver quality. Bed floor is solid also. Tailgate looks bad in pic but its just where the paint has come off over time, it is absolutely solid also. Looking inside this car it is is upper driver quality all through although to be nice it needs updated. The head liner has a hole in it from my guess is from a mouse making a new home. The seat needs some attention but its NOT all ripped up, just needs recovered. Same for carpet, ok but needs replaced to be nice. The door panels are very, very nice driver quality, not perfect but nice. The dash pad I think is perfect, don't see that very often on a 72 model. Also the dash has NOT been all butchered up to add accessories as most of them have been done. There is a small gauge panel on the bottom of the dash but easily removed with no damage visible. The tilt column is good and tight and it has a SS wheel on it. Actually the complete interior of this car could be useable with only a good cleaning. Forgot to mention, this car has a pretty nice SS grille with it also. Don't know what else to say about this El Camino so email me with your questions or concerns. If your in the market for a super nice, super solid, original big block El Camino to restore do not miss out on this one. This solid of a car doesn't come along everyday. The buy it now price is more than fair for a car in this condition with the options it has. This is way better than buying a cheap rust bucket and have to replace every panel on it. Check out my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. I require a $500 deposit at auctions end and the car can sit here awhile as long as its paid for in full. I will work with you or a shipper to get it loaded. This car has a clean clear title. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel you bid. PLEASE do not bid if you are not serious about completing the deal should you be the winning bidder. This costs money and time. Also the car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally. Look over the pics, ask any questions you may have. If its not in the pics, I don't have it guys. There are pictures of everything so please keep that in mind. Not a lot missing other than what was mentioned in the listing. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this rare, well optioned 1972 El Camino.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales
Tue, Apr 3 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US
