THIS IS A 1987 CHEVY EL CAMINO LAST YEAR PRODUCED. IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT IN 1986 AND IS FOR SALE. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY IF THE VEHICLE IS SOLD LOCALLY. IT IS VERY SOUND RUNNING CONDITION BUT IS SLIGHTLY BURNING SOME OIL ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SITS FOR FEW WEEKS. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICS IT IS IN NEED OF PAINT AND SOME RESTORATION. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED WHEN THE OWNER BACKED OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY AND CAUGHT A CURB, FORTUNATELY THE DOOR WAS WEEK FROM ROTTING AND NO MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE AT THE POINT OF THE DOOR HINGES SO I BELIEVE A NEW DOOR COULD BE BOLTED RIGHT UP. THE OLD DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM IS STILL WORKING JUST AS EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE MAIN AREAS ON THE BODY TO BE CONCERNED ARE THE THREE SPOTS AROUND THE REAR WINDOW THAT ARE ROTTING, THE BUMPER GUARDS ON FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS ARE NOT SALVAGEABLE AND ARE ROTTING BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BUMPERS THEMSELVES, THE FRONT HOOD ON THE FORWARD EDGED IS ALSO GOT SOME ROTTING BUT I DO HAVE A SPARE HOOD THAT IS IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAT WOULDN'T NEED AS MUCH WORK, ALSO THE CROSS PIECE UNDER THE HOOD THAT THE RADIATOR IS AGAINST HAS ITS SHARE OF ROTTING BUT IS INTACT AND IS POSSIBLY SALVAGEABLE. THERE IS NO OTHER AREAS OF ROTTING ON THE BODY. I TRIED TO TAKE PICTURES TO BEST DESCRIBE EVERYTHING. THE GLASS AND INTERIOR ARE DECENT NO HOLES OR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THERE IS A SINGLE CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE DRIVER FLOOR BOARD IS BOWED DOWN LIKE THERE IS FLOOR BOARD PROBLEM BUT I WILL UPDATE THIS LISTING AS I HAVEN'T PULLED THE CARPET BACK TO SURVEY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE CHECKED OUT THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THERE IS NO SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. I'M NOT SURE BUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, IT DIDN'T BURN OIL BUT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF EXHAUST WHEN I START IT BUT DOES DISAPPEAR AFTER IT RUNS A BIT, ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I HAVE A STACK OF RECEIPTS FROM THIS CAR. IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND NO RETURN SO BE SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING, TITLE IS IN HAND AND FREE AND CLEAR. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND POST THEM FOR ALL TO SEE. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT A DEPOSIT OF $500.00 THRU PAY PAL. THE BALANCE DUE WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A BANK CHECK, CASH OR MONEY ORDER UPON PICKUP OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT MADE BETWEEN THE BUYER AND ME. IF BALANCE IS PAID BY PAY PAL IT WILL NEGATE AND CANCEL THE TRANSACTION. THE BUYER IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FEES TO PICKUP AND SHIP THIS VEHICLE TO ITS DESTINATION. I WILL ASSIST IN A WAY THAT IS NOT GOING TO COST ME ANY FUNDS. I DO HAVE A FRIEND WITH A LONG DISTANCE VEHICLE SHIPPING COMPANY IF THE BUYER IS INTERESTED. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK. YOU CAN CALL ME AT 321-525-2533 LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I WILL RETURN ALL CALLS. JEFF

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

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:
