1976 Chevrolet El Camino Classic Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Ramseur, North Carolina, United States
Up for auction Is my 1976 Chevy El Camino, I purchased this last year from the original owner who still had the original title ( I made a color copy of it before sending it in) it had been setting for several years in a barn and started occasionally. After much negotiation he reluctantly sold it to me. Now after completing this pick-up which I enjoy driving, I am reluctantly selling for myself. It has the original 350 motor with a two barrel carb, carb has been rebuilt, still will need a slight choke adjustment, a turbo 350 trans, It is a number matching car, unmolested. Since I have acquired this fine automobile I have repainted it, new carpet, had the seat reupholstered, new dash cover, new fender and tailgate emblems, new tail light housings, spray in bed liner tinted to match, new plugs,wires, cap and rotor, new vacuum advance, new dual exhaust with trans am tips. I shipped both bumpers to tri-city plating in Elizabethton TN. and had them triple plated they look very nice. I put 8in corvette rally's with new disc brake center caps on it with two new BF Goodrich 245-60-15 on the rear, I had two tires in fairly new condition tires that I decided to use on the front, Futura 245-60-15. The A/C has had the evaporator rebuilt and the system was recharged with the factory R 12 refrigerant. Heat and air work very well. It does not have a radio in it, I have the original radio which does not work. Now this is not a show car, it is a driver. it is not perfect and has its flaws, I built it for a shop truck and did not want it to be perfect, it was intended for a daily driver and I drive it almost daily and will continue to drive until the first bid is placed. My future plans would include hood hinges, new window rubbers and fuzzies, door rubbers, new lenses, stainless trim, some touch up on the paint and some buffing. As of right now it is perfect for what I use it for. This is a RESERVE AUCTION with NO WARRANTY written or implied. Bidders are welcome and encouraged to inspect for themselves. Please do not bid if there is any possible way you can not complete transaction! A 500.00 non refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs of auction close via paypal and balance in cash within 7 days of auction close. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early. Bidders may call between the hours of 7am-9pm est at 919-548-1791. Thank you for your consideration and good luck, Toby
I have just added dash pics that were requested, dash cover fits very snug and is not glued because I was not happy with color. I have been searching for the dye to darken it a little or either to find one the color I wanted. I will include the glue that came with cover. Also I have had questions about the engine, engine has not been rebuilt just the carb, engine does have typical smoke when started it is not horrible, typical chevy valve seals. I drove it again this morning and ran very well. Any questions feel free to call. |

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models
Fri, Jan 30 2015While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.

Auto Show Notebook: Legendary Continental name inspired Lincoln's designers
Thu, Apr 2 2015What's in a name? A lot for the Continental concept, and it gave Lincoln designers a sense of purpose as they styled the brand's upcoming flagship sedan. "The moment that we told them, it was amazing," Lincoln president Kumar Galhotra said. "They totally got it." "It" is cutting-edge technology wrapped in stately, large-sedan design. It's a nod to Lincoln's storied past, but a signpost for where the brand is heading. Though the Continental name dates to the late 1930s, Lincoln designers avoided making the concept overtly retro. "You can't let it pull yourself back too far in history, but you've got to design a car that lives up to the name," Galhotra said. Speaking to Autoblog on the floor of the New York Auto Show where the Continental formally debuted Wednesday, the Lincoln president reiterated that the car is on track to launch in 2016. It will compete against the Audi A6, Lexus GS, BMW 5 Series and other large luxury sedans. After its debut, the concept in New York will fly to China – another critical market for Lincoln – for display there. It will be replaced in New York by a prototype without an interior. The Continental is the latest high profile play by Lincoln to raise its image with consumers, who have either ignored or forgotten about it amid steep competition in the luxury sector from German and Japanese brands and a potentially resilient Cadillac. Lincoln sales are essentially flat compared with 2014 through the first quarter of this year, with total volume of 21,478 units. The middling start to 2015 comes on the heels of nearly 16-percent sales growth last year spurred by the launch of the MKC and the prominent signing of Matthew McConaughey to star in Lincoln advertisements. Other News, Notes & Quotes Speaking of names, Chevrolet did its homework before deciding to proceed with "Malibu" for its new generation of midsize cars. "We went out and researched it," said Alan Batey, president of General Motors North America. "People actually like the name 'Malibu,'" he said. Admittedly, the current Malibu has struggled in the marketplace against entrenched competitors, Batey said, but he's optimistic its awareness and historical value are assets to the dramatically redesigned sedan."The name's strong," he said. Meanwhile, in other Chevy news, the brand kicked off a new marketing campaign, "Real People, Not Actors" Wednesday. It will show consumers interacting with Chevys and their spontaneous reactions to the vehicles.

Chevrolet announced the fuel economy for the 2015 City Express, at 25 mpg combined. The cargo van is rated at 24 mpg in the city, and 26 mpg on the highway. Chevy credits the van's inline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission for its impressive city mileage. For its customers - which are mainly businesses - "The fuel economy of the City Express will help stretch their dollar at the pump and give them the flexibility to invest the savings back into their business," says Chevrolet's Ed Peper. The City Express starts at $22,950. Read more in the press release below. Engineers at the University of Wisconsin have developed an efficient engine that runs on a diesel-gas blend. The engine, which uses a computer to control the blend proportions, is about 15 percent more efficient than the any diesel engine according to mechanical engineering professor Rolf Reitz. The team has put the experimental reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine in a demonstration car - a 2009 Saturn. "This vehicle can do 50 miles per gallon," says Reitz, who believes the system could be improved further. Read more at Wisconsin Public Radio. The Southeast Alternative Fuel Conference and Expo will take place in October in Raleigh, North Carolina. Held at the NC Clean Energy Technology Center from October 22-24, the event will feature a variety of exhibitors, speakers and, most importantly, alternatively powered vehicles. "The three day conference will be a one-stop shop for fleet and transportation related decision makers to learn about return on investment, efficiency and alternative transportation fuels such as biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, propane and natural gas," says Anne Tazewell of the NC Clean Energy Technology Center. If you can't make it to Raleigh for the Expo, you can still enter to win a free two-year lease of a Nissan Leaf at the Center's website. Learn more about the event in the press release, below.
