Ongoing project. Reliable enough to drive everyday.
Trying to retire and I want to pay some bills. I've had this El Camino for almost 7 years Purchased from an amateur customizer who did side work and he used this El Camino as his "demo" to show potential clients his work. The paint and body work are at least 10 years old and the pictures will highlight the flaws, however, this is more of a 3 footer rather than a 10 footer. The paint is glass smooth and shines beautifully. If you don't want to attract attention this is not the car for you.
The ZZ2 has less than 3,000 miles on it (I don't know how many miles on the car itself). The ZZ2 is a Crate engine very similar to the ubiquitous ZZ4. It has the same aluminum heads, 9.8:1 compression, full roller cam, 4 bolt mains a bulletproof crank and a square bore intake high rise manifold patterned after the LT1 Z28 design from 1970. Replacement cost around $3700.

I could keep going but you get the drift.
There are things that need to be done but nothing major. The interior is presentable but not perfect.
There are seals that need to be installed in the rear and there's a whine in the rear that could just be bearings or a backlash adjustment. Remember this is a 9" so you pull the pumpkin and put it on the bench or bring it to your local Ford dealer and let them do it. Probably the easiest rear in existence to set up.
My point is that if you have an El Camino or a G Body that you've been dreaming of building you could buy this car swap parts and re-sell it if you don't like the look or sell the one that you will never get around to building because you don't have the $10,000 for paint and another $10,000 for drivetrain upgrades and buy this car and proudly display it at your next local cruise.
I'm doing a "Buy It Now" because the last few times I listed cars the "winning" bidders all disappeared after casting the winning bid.
I will answer any question honestly ( see my feedback ) just ask and I will post valid questions and answers on the listing.
This vehicle has a current NC inspection but it does not have any original emission equipment installed so be mindful of your state regulations before considering a purchase.
My Price is firm so don't waste an email asking for a better price. I may consider a trade but need $3500 cash out of the deal. I would consider a stock El Camino, any year or a decent old Pick Up truck. Don't need a daily driver or a project.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.
