Here is a nice 1987 GMC Caballero. The Caballero is the sister car to the Chevy El Camino. Since Ebay doesn't list the Caballero in the models I used the El Camino listing to make sure she was listed with the other like cars. Everywhere I drive this car people ask me about it. I am the second owner of this car. Previous owner passed and his son sold it to me in an estate type sale about 5 years ago. It ran well when I got it but I made alot of improvements. Originally it was black but need to be painted because it was a little faded and I wanted her to look sharp. I have had the engine gone through by a professional mechanic - he rebuilt the carburator, installed new battery, replaced the oil pan, installed new brake lines. I installed some nice 16 inch wheels and white letter tires, had it painted, also converted it to dual exhaust. I also had the seats recovered and new carpet installed. I also added a nice stereo system installed with large new speakers behind the seats (It Rocks!). Stereo also has a USB port. When I bought it I noticed a slight body roll when I purchased it so I took it to a race mechanic and installed a larger steering (Sway bar - I think is what it's called) system. Now she sticks to the road like a Jungle Cat! There is no Body roll on this car! Exit and entry ramps are a blast! (in more ways than one). It is a pretty fast car - but I have babied her since she is a little old. Going down the highway she rides like my Cadillac! Let go of the wheel and she stays straight. Will she spin the tires? YES! but only one will spin! Some people have suggested adding Positive traction but I've already got too much money in it. Is the air cold? It's cool but will leak down. Originally I think it was Freon - but I have had some guys convert it to modern (whatever it is now). Maybe theres a leak in the system somewhere - but it is cold for quite a while. The suspension is nice - I guess it could use some modern front shocks but the rear is "air-ride". Yes, you can add air to the rear shocks through a valve beside the gas cap. The black rubber (window sills?) are dry rotted and rain will leak down into the doors. when caught out in the rain. I have kept her in the garage most of the time - I have noticed a few rust bubbles down low in the door panels. My mechanic says it wouldn't be too much to take care of. Well, I HATE to see her go but...it's tax time and I am moving out some of my toys. This is a FUN car to drive - I have used her as a daily driver over the past 4-5 years and I know she will serve her next owner well. Good luck!

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectivelyÂ— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark

Thu, Dec 27 2018

The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs Â– was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:

Sunday Drive: Tracking Tokyo's top performers

Sun, Oct 29 2017

The big news of the week mostly came from Tokyo. All of Japan's biggest automakers made waves at the Motor Show, but the winner of the event has to be Mazda. The big Vision Coupe and little Kai Concept stole the show, won our hearts, and earned a ton of attention for the automaker. We can't wait to see how these two concepts impact the design, engineering, and technology of future production models. Take a look at our mega image gallery post below to see everything in high-resolution glory. Interestingly, the single biggest click-magnet of the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show was the BMW X2. We shouldn't be surprised. Crossovers of all shapes and sizes dominate the American marketplace, and the X2 is clearly the most attractive of BMW's even-numbered, coupe-influenced X models. Plus, it's headed for production, with sales starting in the spring of 2018. Moving past the Tokyo Motor Show, Autoblog readers are apparently very interested in the 2019 Chevy Camaro. Spy shots of just about every iteration of Chevy's muscle car lit up the 'net last week, leaving us very interested in seeing what's hiding behind all that camouflage. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2017 Tokyo Motor Show | Mega Gallery Mazda Vision Coupe | Tokyo Motor Show's big, sensuous 4-door Mazda Kai concept hints at a more muscular, refined Mazda3 2018 BMW X2 crossover revealed, adorned in gold and silver 2019 Chevrolet Camaro: 1LT, SS, ZL1 all spied with updated styling
