Chevrolet El Camino 1971 Classic. Featured On Cover Of Super Chevy Magazine 1984 on 2040-cars
Spring Hill, Florida, United States
|
This El Camino was a former off frame build in the late 70’s. It has extensive chrome plating and amazing laquer paint which would cost 20k-30k at today’s prices. This 71 SS is a former ISCA show car which saw very limited street use after completion. I have known the car and its former owner since 1982. As the pictures show this 30 year old laquer with candy scallops, ribbon paint and ghost flames and beautiful detail is still in beautiful shape. During the build the frame was removed, blasted and detailed then painted, pinstriped and made as nice as the top. When I located the car in central Florida it still had the valour Cadillac seats and door panels from early 80’s. I replaced these with Pro-Car seats and door panels and kick panels from NPD. The blower motor and turbo 350 had been removed for another project when the El Camino’s show days ended and the rolling chassis was put in dry storage for the next 25 years. Somewhere in that time, the car was moved from Fort Lauderdale where I located its owner and convinced him to sell. The car is currently located near Tampa Florida. Always stored and in the past 5 years it has seen very limited use. The current motor and transmission have roughly 300 miles on them. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a reverse pattern valve body. The blower currently on the car has had the rotor removed and was modified to fit over the 650 Holley Carb. It does not function but retains the original look and still has the great blower whine and attitude. PAYPAL WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT ONLY.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
