Here is a nice daily driver Pro-Touring built 69 El Camino, and it is a great runner.. Fully set up with a nice running 350 engine with Holley Carb, Mallory HEI style ignition, Front Runner Engine Accessorie package, Tremec 6-speed Standard transmission, a Chassis Works Fab 9 narrowed 9in rear end, Full 4-link system, Four Corner Air Ride System, 4 wheel Baer Brake Kit, Strong Arm Upper and Lower Tubular Control Arms, Vintage Air Conditioning, Billet Specialties 17x8 and 17x12 inch wheels, and the list goes on.
This car is a clean daily driver, and drives and shows very well. It cruises down the road at 1800 rpm @70mph in 6th gear, and doesnt have a single squeek or rattle.. This is a very tight car, and the air ride and suspension kit works very well, which gives the car a great modern feel. The Vintage Air/Heat works absolutely great, and everything on the car works great.
Being a great driver, it does have a few chips here or there, which is really nothing more than the typical gravel/rock chips at the wheel wells, so it is nothing abnormal and the car looks great. This car was built to drive, and it would make a great car fo the guy that is looking for an updated El Camino to have in his garage. There was alot of time and money invested in this car several years ago, and I dont see anything currently on ebay that has everything this car has on it, so get it while you can. It may be awhile before any other ElCamino comes this well set up, do dont miss out.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
