Do not bid unless you have the money !!! I require $500 paypal in 24 hours.  Don't e mailme asking how much.  Make a offer for but it now.  If I agree you get it.  Simple don't have time to waste 

 

           I am offering my 1979 Chevy El Camino "Candy O".  I am the proud owner of this vehicle for now 10 years!  This was a FRAME OFF RESTORATION done 4 years ago.  I am going to explain the detail but I could write for days so again call or e-mail with questions.

   Car is an original V8/Th350 automatic.  I installed a 1971 Camaro 307 V8 4 years ago.  The mileage on the engine at that point in time was about 55k.  The guy with camaro put in 600+hp engine and had no use for original engine.  This was a score for me.  The engine was a virgin as they come.  Rated at 9.1 Compression and 200hp it is more powerful that the typical 1980's 350 and superior over the 140hp 305's of the same time period!  I installed HEI ignition as well as a 1980 Corvette Rochester 4 barell mated to an Edlebrock proformer intake backed  by $1000.00 of pypes dual exhaust and ceramic headers!  Going easy pushing 240 HP if not better. ZERO running issues at all.  I put at least 35,000k on it since I installed the engine.  The point in case is the car didn't sit around.  I used it again and again!

       The transmission is a Th350 3 speed automatic.  I had this rebuilt by a professional trans shop in NJ.  MAYBE if it has 10k on it that would be a lot. The complete front end was rebuilt, all new upper/lower conrol arm bushings, springs all around, new calipers, brake drums, master cylinder.  EVERY SINGLE BRAKE LINE was replaced BRAND NEW. YES EVERY LINE.... BRAND NEW (7 out of 10 G Body GM cars have time bomb brake lines ticking away waiting to explode and leave you stranded). All new flex hoses.

     The body was removed from the chassis and I replaced the whole chassis with a perfect rot free one! (The prior chassis was rotted in 3 places)  ALL NEW BODY MOUNTS WERE INSTALLED. AM/FM CD player, speakers in box behind seat.

       The bottom of the car is just about new. NO HOLES IN FLOORS. NO HOLES IN BODY.Bottom of the car painted in satin black 4 years ago.  The rear end was rebuilt and 3.42 gears were installed.  It has massive acceleration power from a standstill. Most lazy rear ends were 2.41 2.73 in these cars.   NO WIRING ISSUES WHATSOEVER.  Everything works, all lights, horn, heater.  It is a FACTORY STYLE NO A/C car. (included but not shown in photos is a complete A/C unit I saved from another car of same vintage as well as many other misc odd items I have hoarded away, trim, mechanical, etc- There is a street value in these items alone. All goes with car upon sale)The bed will be loaded with all extra parts for new owner to keep or sell.

      The paint was stripped to the bare metal and car is painted with basecoat/clear Diamont products (not cheap ).  Bumpers are like new, the only defect I want to mention is some surface paint bubbles in both front corners of the doors.  THE DOORS ARE NOT ROTTED! They are solid as a rock.  This is common in this 78-88  G body cars as that is where moisture collects.  If this is offensive to you $500 addition will correct it before you take the car.  If not you take it as is. I have ZERO to hide and most would not even mention it.  It's not even that bad I am honest seller and don't have time to waste by telling stories.

        I live in NY 10920. Car is also for local sale.  Listing may end at any given time.  IF you want the car come view in person if need be.  If you bid on it from far away, know and understand that bid is contract.  I don't want to deal with confused people who don't have the money or bid for the purpose of their entertainment.  The car is well worth $10,000 if not better.  My RESERVE IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT.  I don't owe this car a nickel.  It's been with me ten years. I am bailing out and calling it a day.  FAR MORE IN IT THAT IT'S ACTUAL VALUE.

    Terms of sale are as follows. $500 pay pal deposit no more than 24 hours after end of auction.  If you DO NOT HAVE IT, DO NOT BID.  The rest cash in hand, bank check, or direct deposit.  I am not going to ACCEPT PAY PAL as payment of car, if that is your intention do business elsewhere.  This isn't a part, this is a vehicle.  A vehicle I am giving away, so let's make this transaction quick and to the point. The full amount is due no more than 7 days after the end of auction.  All non paying bidders will be reported. Please be serious and back up your bid for the fairness of others.

    Car is AS/IS, WHERE IS in NY 10920.  Buyer is responsible for all transport fees to their home.  Come pick up and drive home after paid in full. I have a CLEAN NY tittle in my name.  It is the ownership of the vehicle.

   Do your homework.... $1500-3000 or so buys you junk.  You will put more into something you buy for that price. I did all the work for you, find the money. This is worth it.  I have others at a local level who dream about this so I'm just waiting on an educated cash offer and it leaves my life.... time waits for no one.... no favorites.

          Thanks for reading.....

GM CEO to meet with U.S. lawmakers over job cuts

Fri, Nov 30 2018

WASHINGTON — General Motors Co Chief Executive Mary Barra plans to visit Capitol Hill next week to discuss the company's plans to halt production at five plants in North America next year and cut up to 15,000 jobs, two congressional aides said on Friday. GM has come under harsh criticism from lawmakers from both major political parties, and from President Donald Trump, since Monday when it announced the biggest restructuring for the U.S. No. 1 carmaker since its bankruptcy a decade ago. Barra is expected to meet with lawmakers from Michigan and Ohio, where GM plans to shutter three plants, as well as senior leaders in Congress. GM did not immediately comment. Barra has been calling lawmakers this week to explain the decision to end production. Trump has threatened to revoke subsidies for GM. The Detroit automaker plans to halt production next year at three assembly plants: the Lordstown small-car factory near Youngstown, Ohio; the Detroit-Hamtramck complex in Detroit; and the Oshawa, Ontario, assembly complex near Toronto. It will also stop building several models now assembled at those plants, including the Chevrolet Cruze, the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, the Cadillac CT6 and the Buick LaCrosse. Additionally, GM plans to shutter the Warren transmission plant outside Detroit and a plant that makes electric motors and drivetrains outside Baltimore, Maryland. The Cruze compact car will be discontinued in the U.S. market in 2019, although GM may continue building it in Mexico for other markets, Barra said. Reporting by David Shepardson. Related Video:

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
