1969 Chevrolet El Camino for restoration. Car was originally dover white with a black bench seat interior. It now has bucket seats.
The Good
Car runs drives and stops. I have moved it around in my driveway but have not driven the car on the road because the tires are in poor shape.
350 engine runs well, starts right up and does not smoke. Looks clean inside by looking thru the oil fill cap. Oil was just changed. Could use a little tune up and adjusting to run perfect as it was sitting for a while. Has HEI distributor and quadrajet 4 barrel carb. No exhaust, open headers. Has the big radiator in it and the belts and hoses are in good shape. Power steering works very well.
350 block is an 010 casting
Power Drum Brakes
350 Turbo Trans engages reverse and drive fine. Fluid looks clean.
10 Bolt rear end, I do not know what gears or if it is a posi or not. It does have new rear upper control arms and new rear boxed lower control arms.
New fuel tank installed.
SS hood in good shape
Roof panels are solid
Bucket seats
All glass is good with the exception of the windshield
Front steel inner fenders in good shape.
The Bad
I tried to take photos of the rusted areas as best as I could. The car will need both quarters, floor pans, drivers rocker patched, drivers door patched, rear outer wheel houses, inner rear wheel houses may be able to be patched, drivers front fender patched, passenger fender patched or replaced, small area on cowl by body tag has a few pin holes, bed floor patched, front frame patched at steering box and idler arm area.
Brake work in the drive way but will need gone over before driving on the road.
The car does come with a new passenger quarter and passenger quarter patch panel. I have the original passenger door that has good glass and regulators in it. The passenger door on the car is pretty solid.
Drivers door opens and closes fine on both sides, passenger door opens fine from the inside, does not open from the outside. It does rub the front fender when opening and needs adjusted.
The car would be a great project to restore or turn into a rat rod with some work. Car will be sold as is with no warranties and has been described to the best of my knowledge. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Please call to make an appointment to view the car prior to bidding. Please ask for more pictures of certain areas prior to bidding. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
