68 Chevrolet Chevelle El Camino
Up for sale is a nice little 68 Chevelle El Camino power by a fresh 350 engine backed up by a TH350 transmission. Out back is a Ford 9" rear end. Car has tilt column, power steering and power brakes. A lot of new parts replaced and work has been done in the past year on this car. Mechanically and electrically the car has been completely gone through. The car runs and drives great. Drive it anywhere. The interior has been freshened up but not new. The body appears straight but the passenger fender does have a high spot. I have done very little to the body as you can see. If you like them shiny it will need a paint job and other cosmetic items freshened up to make it pretty. Nice little hot rod for someone that wants to make it their own but not do a full restoration. I've listed a lot below that done to the car recently.
Parts Replaced
Radiator: Is an all aluminum welded performance 3 row unit. It cools the car well.
Radiator shroud
Brake master cylinder
Power brake booster
Front brake cylinders
Front brake lines (rubber lines replaced with stainless braided versions)
Fuel sending unit
Upper and lower front control arm bushings
Upper and lower ball joints
Front wheel bearings
Front anti-sway bar (larger performance unit)
Front and rear springs (car sits nice)
Front and rear shocks
Steering box was replaced with a late model quick ratio version and the rag joint was eliminated and replaced with a universal joint type shaft. (Steering is solid and has a more modern feel).
Ignition switch and cylinder along with multiple other switches.
Installed is an aftermarket tachometer that replaces the factory clock. Looks factory and works great.
Tires are new
The exhaust is all custom with all mandrel alumized bends, tig welded, stainless X-pipe and Flow master mufflers.
New Accelerator cable
Transmission is fresh out of Cook's Transmission shop. It has had their Street/Strip treatment. B&M Z-gate shifter installed.
Engine: Small block 350, aluminum intake, Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, HEI ignition, full length headers. The engine was fresh when I bought the car but I didn't build it. What I did do is replace the cam and lifters with a mild Summit unit, Z28 valve springs, Summit fuel pump, MSD plug wires and the HEI distributor is a new performance unit.
Lots of other small miscellaneous parts replaced and work done.
Front end had been professionally aligned.
It is a factory air car but AC is not installed. It originally was a big block 396 car and the badges are still on the car. I just have other projects. If you have any further questions contact me.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
