This is a consignment item for my father in-law. He is old school and doesn't understand computers or eBay. I will do my best for correspondence and answer questions as punctual as possible. The title is signed and in my possession as he is a OTR driver and frequently out of town. This is his right up of the vehicle and was critiqued by my self to enhance accuracy. The vehicle is "as is" and BUYER is responsible for transport cost or pick up. Buyer is expected to make a $500.00 deposit and pay the remainder within prior to pick-up and cashier check is preferable or paypal works. Thanks for looking and happy bidding :-) Regards, Mike

1985 Chevrolet El Camino
111,780 original family owned miles
My moms car, she was the original owner from new, then I inherited it.  Texas car for ten years of it's life, then relocated back to it's home area in Illinois in 1996. Since then it's served me well as my errand runner and maintenance has been kept up on. Great car and well taken care of most its life. Some age issues including surface rust and door bushing wear causing doors to be out of line. The car runs okay but could use a tune up. The cars exhaust is leaky, not loud as much as puffy. A few smaller dents as pictured and some oxidation on exterior along with surface rust patches. Solid underneath with little concern of problems, mainly sills and edges affected by rust but not throughout panels. Bumpers are great shape with only one small dent in rear and larger dent on the side, trim and chrome are good with lots of potential. Front bumper and grill are in great shape and shine well with a good clean. The tires are newer, fuel pump was replaced along with battery  not long ago and oil is freshly changed. The motor is a 4.3 liter 6 cylinder and was rebuilt in 2003. The cars interior is in good condition, the rear view mirror is missing and there is a small chip on windshield. The seats have a small split on the seam on driver side upper bolster. The dash has 3 splits from heat. The window winding handles are missing. Love the car but gotta let it go. Thanks, Raul.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore

Thu, Mar 12 2015

General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
