This auction is for my 1965 El Camino. I am the third owner of this car, the first two owners are in the same family. The car is from California and then Oklahoma. I have owned the car for 12 years. The car has had a complete body on restoration and has 18,xxx miles since the restoration. The car is always kept inside and covered with two California custom car car covers. It has been pampered for 12 years. here are the details:
BODY: No rust ever, all original body panels and fenders. All glass and upholstery were removed for the resto, interior insulated and all new interior installed. The paint is Glassurit German black with House of Kolor Tangelo pearl base coat/clear coat. The paint has been color sanded and buffed and is extremely smooth and glossy. Look at the pics of the body panels, lazer straight and smooth. The hood and cowl induction are steel, not fiberglass.
INTERIOR: Custom gauge panel with Autometer Pro Comp gauges, including trans temp. Tilt column with Billet Specialities steering wheel, custom sonsole with B&M shifter. Three point seat/shoulder belts. Door panels, headliner and carpet all replaced. Leather 6 way power and heated seats.
ENGINE: Small block chevy, 4 bolt mains, .030 over Hyperteutic pistons, 383 stroker, steel crank pink rods. Hardened valve seats, manley stainless steel 2.02 valves, screw in studs, guide plates,. Lunati cam and lifters, roller rockers. Aluminum high rise, Edelbrock 750 cfm elec choke carb, ceramic coated long tube headers. HEI ignition, 100 amp alternator, CVR gear reduction starter.The exhaust is 2 1/2" all the way with a Dr Gas X pipe and Flowmaster mufflers.

The front end features an AGR quick ratio steering box, extra large sway bar, Global West tubular control arms and custom springs and koni shocks. The front has large disc brakes, power. The rear has Global West tubular lower control arms, Hotchkis frame stiffeners, Koni shocks, custom springs, Praise Dyno carbon fiber brake shoes on later model 11" drums. The wheels are Billet Specialities fast lanes in 17".
GENERAL: This El Camino is super nice. It rides and handles really well, cornering is remarkably stable and precise. The best feature of this car is how tight it is and how well it drives. Fly in and drive it home, it is stone reliable. All the chrome has been replated, every piece of stainless has been polished. The car has factory air and works great. The car has no issues, it has been driven 18,xxx miles since all the work was performed and does have some minor signs of use. You really have to look hard to see flaws, but it is not perfect. In some photos the orange pearl looks "yellowish" it is not, pearl paint is difficult to capture with a home digital camera. All paint on this car is super nice. I am 66 years old and have been having fun with cars for a long time...this is a good one. Check my feedback, bid with confidence, no dissappointments. I have many more pics....if you want more let me know. Good luck bidding.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
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.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
