This is a 1986 Chevy. El Camino with a 5.7L Tuned Port Injection engine and 700r4 4-speed automatic trans from a 1987 Pont. Trans Am. 
Car runs and drives great, have original build sheet to show it's a real SS

Over-sized front brake rotor, calipers and pads from 02 Chevy Trailbazer 
Brake lines have been flushed and re-filled with new fluid
60" drive shaft from Olds Delta 88
Gabriel air shocks on rear
Monte Carlo SS rims w/ brand new tires.

General info:
Interior is complete, no rips or tears but does show wear. (Planned  to replace seat using buckets from Monte SS) Dash has cracks and needs a dash cap installed.

Needs to be done::
Transmission tail-shaft speedo output is electric, needs to be converted to mechanical (speedometer will not work until the conversion is done)
Minor body work including replacing the tailgate
Completing air conditioning, needs dryer, high pressure line and charged. Compressor is on and turns freely, believe it to be good.
New headliner. 
Good performance exhaust system. Currently has factory TA headers into 2 1/4" dual exhaust with Flowmasters. 

READ THIS PART CAREFULLY:
Engine does smoke some, mostly at start-up. I believe the valve seals need replaced but have not spent any time on it because I had planned  to go completely through the motor to build as a beefed up daily driver. Engine has no lifter and no bottom end noise to indicate any internal problems. Again, engine runs very strong with NO bottom end noise. 

This car is no where near show ready but is rust-free, needs only minor body work and has an awesome engine set up for a driver or to be built as a hot rod.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
