this is a running and driving elcamino i drove this car/truck for 2 hours the other day and it drove fine.this is an excellant candidate for a rolling restoration.the body is pretty rust free for an elcamino but it does have its issues.the floor pans are solid in the front behind the seat there the is rust through but is not a very hard fix because most of it is still in tact.the firewall and radiator frame is perfect which on these cars is ussually rusted bad.the front floors are solid as a rock (this is a southern car)the front fenders are very nice with the exception of some surface rust.the doors are rust free as well as the rockers.the bed is nice with minimal rust no rust through.this was a vynal top car at one time but someone in the past removed and painted it so the windshield channels are visibly clean the glass is all nice with no cracks.the intiorior is drver quality and all fuctions work(meaning lights blinkers,horn and heater and dash lights)the front bumper is in good shape but the grill has the bottom filler piece missing blinker lenses are perfect.the motor is a 350 and i have no idea if its original or not has long tube headers and a holly 4bbl. it also has an hei distributer.the trans. is a 700r4 and it functions well it shifts though all the gears.i personally think the 68-72 elcos are the best and most sought after this is a very restorable project with the hard to find or expensive parts in good shape.you could easily drive it while you worked on it.the back tires are new the fronts are ok the old school rims in pretty good shape also.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
