Here is a restored classic 1978 Chevrolet El Camino SS. Color is black with all burgundy interior. The exterior is in excellent condition both body and paint. Everything is uniform, straight, rust free, and it is an original California car.

The tires are fairly new with plenty of tread, Hankook Ventus Sport tires, sizes P275/35/R20’s in the rear and P235/40/R18’s in the front. The rims are 18” and 20” Coys C5’s thrust style 5-spoke chrome wheels in absolute excellent condition. Overall, the exterior has been executed nicely and is truly appealing. It is enjoyed more as a cruiser and is 100% garaged all the time.

The engine is a brand new crate general motors 350 V8 (330 HP), with a new turbo 350 3 speed automatic transmission with turbo 350 shift kit with approx. 30K miles. The engine and everything on the drive train was installed and replaced in September of 2004. It has been completely redone top to bottom - inside and out, with plenty of upgraded components and plenty attention to detail throughout. It has power steering, power brakes, brand new a/c, dual Flowmaster exhaust, and much more! The engine is in absolute excellent running condition overall. Owned by 1 owner since 82’ whom has meticulously taken care of this hot rod the way all should be maintained. An entire life history of all records, receipts, paperwork, original manuals and booklets, a clean and clear title, etc… are all on hand for verification. 

The burgundy interior was redone awhile back and has been kept original, stock, and clean. The seats, door panels, dash, carpet, headliner, etc.. are all in excellent shape and looks great. Everything inside including dash cluster works and functions as it should. It has power windows, power mirrors, power locks, and new a/c. Added was a GT style steering wheel and an Alpine am/fm/mp3/cd player with speakers. Everything in the interior is nicely done.

Overall, this Chevy has been tastefully restored and cared for throughout. It is an ideal classic 1978 Chevrolet El Camino SS to own.

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.

Bob 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.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
