Up for bids is a 1971 Chevrolet Elcamino. Let me begin by saying this car does not come with a title as it was lost awhile back. I am trying to obtain one so if I get it, you get it. It was last registered in NC and is still on there books. No promises, youre buying it without the title. The engine and trans will NOT come with the car. You will get everything including radiator, power steering pump, rear, exhaust, crossmember etc. Everything but the engine and trans. This is a very restorable car guys. The frame is solid and the only floor pan that is bad is the passenger side rear. All the others are good. This car was stored outside up on blocks about 2 feet off the ground is what probably saved it. The bed floor is solid with only surface rust. The tailgate needs the outer skin. The main part of it is good but it was stored with the tailgate down and water layed it in and rusted it pretty bad. The top has surface rust but no rust through. It originally had a vinyl top on it. the hood is good with only surface rust, no holes. It seems to be good and straight. The front bumper is bent up and the grille is cracked. The rear bumper is usable with only a few small dents in it. The pass side fender has lower rust as does the driver side. There are pics of this. They make repair panels for just the lower section you need I was told. Both doors are pretty nice and they both have some rust inside the bottom corner only, bottom of doors are good. The drivers side quarter panel has rust behind the wheel but doesn't seem to be any showing around the wheel well. In front of the wheel is just surface rust I think. It has had some dent repair and paint work sometime years ago and it needs redone, that is why the drivers side looks so bad. They make lower quarter panel patches to repair behind the wheel. Passenger side has rust behind the wheel also with surface rust in front. No wheel well rust on the pass side either. The interior has a column shift column in it but the car has a floor shifter with a console. Think the seats and console are actual 71 Elcamino items but someone has added them as it came from the factory with column shift and bench seat I think.The seats need covered and the carpet needs replaced. Headliner is shot. Door panels are both pretty good just warped up a little. Someone put some black paint on them and its beginning to come off. I think the dash pad has a hard cover on it and I have another dash pad with on minor cracking on it that I will let go with the car. All glass is good except the windshield, both door glasses roll up and down. Didn't check the wings. This car has power steering, air, manuel drum front brakes and a 10 bolt rear. It was originally a 350 engine car. The emblem on the tailgate says SS396 but it is not. This car is very restorable guys and it could be on the road very easily and do the work to the body as you drive it. This body style is getting hard to find. Remember, not engine or trans, and if I get a title you get it or I will steer you in the right direction if you want to get it. I feel sure one is obtainable but no promises. Ive tried to tell all I know about this car but email me with any questions you have. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all positive. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. That being said bid knowing youre dealing with an honest ebayer. Delivery may be possible on this depending on your location. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding to assure me you will complete the transaction should you be the winning bidder. If not I have the right to cancel you bid. Also I reserve the right to end this auction early should it sell locally. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this 1971 Chevy Elcamino!!!

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
