Awesome El Camino on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
ONE FANTASTIC EL CAMINO SS396*! When I inspected this vehicle at purchase, it appeared to have had (and still does appear) a frame-off restoration with no evident rust. Fully optioned with working A/C (appears to be factory). Options or add-ons include A/C, power windows, locks, steering and brakes, tilt wheel, complete gauge set appears to be factory, vinyl top, 396, SS badging, cowl induction (not working well), vinyl top, hood pins, posi rear (I added that) with 355 gears, bucket seats, SS stripes (clear coated in), 15” rally type wheels, console and four speed. It appears to have had the rear quarters replaced and the car appears to be bondo free. I do not believe it is matching numbers or original motor. The paint is extremely nice (I'd give it a 9 out of 10) and the interior appears to have been replaced by the original restorer. From what I know about the history it appears to have been a Southern car and has no evidence of salt corrosion and the chrome is excellent. You can see from the photos that the frame rails are clean and solid. Also, I have no proof of the provenance (If I did it I would expect to get a much higher price) of it being born an SS car (*) and therefore it could be a clone. My research indicates that, unlike the Malibus, El Caminos in 1970 did not have SS-specific VIN numbers. However, if a potential buyer knows how to otherwise decode the VIN or other stampings, I will definitely supply that information and you can authenticate. The best I can tell, the VIN indicates this as a 136 code “Deluxe El Camino”. I spent a lot of money making this car “right” even though it was pretty much done when I purchased it. I had my mechanic fix the non-working or safety issues that bothered me. Those items were wiring gremlins, A/C issues and such. Why am I selling? Well, it's like this, I am a car guy and get tired of cars really fast. I have 10 vehicles and 4 motorcycles and I change them out routinely. Your gain is my loss as I have LOTS MORE MONEY in this than the asking price and I am sure the last owner had more money in it than what I bought it for. If you paid retail to re-do a car to this condition you'd spend upwards of $50,000 depending on what you spent to acquire the car. I am a total car guy and am a fair seller and fair buyer. I'm glad to answer any questions or show you the car. I'm happy to help load the car for shipping. Mileage stated is EXEMPT, and I do not know how many miles are on the car. (EBay requires mileage to be filled in so I just put 100,000.) There are lots of muscle cars out there and as I have found out, you’ll often buy one only to find out lots of stuff doesn’t work and you spend tens of thousands of dollars getting it right. Well, I already spent those tens of thousands. What doesn’t work (from my observation): the clock (surprised?), the cowl induction flapper works sometimes, and the Delco auto leveling device (appears to be a dealer add-on) does not work. Please email me if you have questions. I’m a full disclosure guy and will tell you anything or everything I know about the vehicle. I try to represent the cars I sell the best way I know how. I have been the victim of “over-represented” cars in the past and it’s not a pleasant experience. For that reason I suggest a personal inspection or have the buyer hire an independent inspector. Please look at the photos. I’ve tried to photograph as best as I can so you can see the condition. The car is being sold AS-IS, with NO WARRANTY and is MILEAGE EXEMPT and does not have a state inspection as it is titled as a Texas antique vehicle. I will assist in shipping by taking the car to a shipper’s location within 20 miles of Austin, Texas. Cost of shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I require a $2,500 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of your successful bid. NEW BIDDERS, or (0 ) FEEDBACK BIDDERS, please e-mail me FIRST, to have your bids approved AS A NEW BIDDER by the Seller, to show your full intent & understanding to purchase & follow through with payment.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
