This is a beautiful custom 1987 El Camino. Unfortunately, I no longer have room for it in my garage, so I have to sell it.


The mileage listed is what currently reads on the odometer, but like all 1987 El Caminos, the odometer is only 5 digits and has "rolled over" back to zero after passing 99,999. The title to the vehicle indicates the fact that the odometer has exceeded its maximum threshold of 99,999. eBay lists this odometer notation as a "title problem", however any 1987 car with a 5-digit odometer is going to show this. The title is completely clear other than the notation regarding the 5-digit odometer.

There is no rust, and the paint is great. All of the chrome is also recently replaced. I've included close-up photos of the quarter panels to show the lack of any rust. 

Car has custom white powder-coated wheels and exhaust tips.

Interior was also redone with new carpet, new dash cover, new seat belts, and seats reupholstered in leather. The car has an in-dash head unit which has hard-drive navigation, Sirius satellite radio built-in, CD player, and hard drive for storing MP3s. It also has an alarm with keyless entry. A/C blows cold.

The car starts up, runs, and drives great.

The car was well-maintained and there are no glaring problems of which I'm aware. I need to sell only because I now have too many cars and therefore no longer have garage space for this El Camino. It's a shame to keep such a beautiful car outside, so I'd rather sell it to a good home that has space for it.

I've included lots of photos. In the bed photo, what you're seeing is a little bit of ice from a winter storm we recently had. Like I said, I ran out of garage space for this car recently, which is why I am selling.

It also has a spray-in bedliner which is color-matched to the paint job. This is pretty rare and looks cool.

When I was referring to all of the chrome being replaced recently, I was referring to the front and rear bumpers. The around the bed trim (which isn't actual chrome) is still all original, but is in good shape. The only part of the original bed trim that looked warn was the two rear corner pieces, and as a result I replaced both of those with fresh pieces about two years ago.

Now, with those two pieces replaced, all of the trim around the top of the bed looks great.

The car has factory electronic fuel injection.


The transmission is a 700R4.

The navigation/CD/satellite radio/hard drive head unit is a JVC KD-NX5000.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.
