1973 Chevrolet El Camino for sale here. The condition would be considered ok. It does have rust issues because it sat for so long. Everything on this vehicle is original. It has the original 350 engine, interior, transmission, casette player you name it. The only thing not original is the carburetor. It originally had a 2bbl but the previous owner swapped it out for a 4bbl.

The vehicle does run and drive, however it will need maintenance, since it is approaching 100,000 miles I am sure it will need tune ups required for that mileage. I bought it with 90,000 and know for sure that it needs a new water pump. This car would make an excellent part car as the 73 models are very hard to find parts for. The bumpers, interior, tailgate etc are all original and in great condition I just do not have the time or patience to cut it up and part it out. Or if youd like to put some money into it and have it for a daily driver that is also another option. The vehicle has a CLEAN TITLE and is currently registered in California which is smog exempt due to it being older than 1975.

The original owner bought it back in 1973 and had it sit for quite a while until he eventually passed away. His family drove it for a while until they decided to sell it, at which time I purchased it. They kept everything with the car original and in fact still have the owners manual that came with the vehicle.

 

I am auctioning this car off to see it go to a good home. It is a great old car and I hate to see it scrapped now that I no longer have use for it and need the money. Cars that are as old as this deserve to still be on the road or given a 2nd chance but I do not have the resources to put into it. The bid will of course start low due to the fact that the owner will have to pay for transportation of the vehicle. I am located in the central coast of California so please keep that in mind.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
