Chevrolet El Camino Custom Standard Cab Pickup 2-d on 2040-cars
Cebolla, New Mexico, United States
This is a 1970 Chevy El Camino SS*. I am in the military and I am moving to Louisiana in May, so I need to sell this vehicle before then. Here are the features: -Engine : New 5.7L 350ci GM crate motor; it has ~7,800 miles on the motor itself. -Engine compartment: -New 4bbl 600cfm Edelbrock carburetor (Endurashine chrome) with manual choke. -New chrome intake manifold -New chrome valve covers and oil filter -New chrome air filter -New chrome water pump/pulleys/brackets -New chrome power steering pump/pulleys/brackets -New alternator (I have a chrome version as well, but it wasn't generating enough energy. I will throw it in for free if you'd like to rebuild it) -Factory AC (I took the belt off because it was old/worn, haven't replaced it). -Bought a new starter in ~October 2012 -Frame: I bought the car in Las Vegas a few years ago. The car was originally manufactured in California, and the vehicle has been in the desert the past 40 years, so it probably has the best frame of any El Camino on the road, in terms of rust. The vehicle is maintained in an environment free from smoke and rust. -Body: -Paint: Has a relatively new blue paint job. Original paint was dark red with black stripes. The paint has a few chips here and there, and there's a dent in the right side, but overall it still looks good. -Has Torq Thrust rims -Cooper Cobra tires with white lettering -Cowl Induction hood -New Xenon headlights and brights. They are bright, but not blue-colored. -Free, new car cover ($100-$200 value) -Interior (black with chrome lining): -Aftermarket radio: Panasonic stereo/CD player with Bluetooth capabilities. -Aftermarket amp and speaker (both easily removable), located behind the passenger's seat (see pictures). -New headliner and dome light set. The upholstery looks great. -Originally column shifter, but was moved to a floor shift (automatic transmission) -Has a pair of leather Lincoln seats (which I will say are super comfy, and surprisingly not that hot in the summer) instead of the bench. -Truck bed has a nice liner. -I'm currently trying to restore the steering wheel horn button. -The electrical wiring is old, so lights may occasionally go out. -The odometer is off. It currently says 5,185.2 miles. The odometer itself still adds one mile for each mile traveled, but it recently rolled over. It also shows only white on the 10,000s digit, meaning that you will get up to 9,999 before it rolls over again. I do not know the mileage of the vehicle, but I have recorded the engine's emplacement mileage at 7,392, which would mean that the engine's overall mileage is approximately 7,793 miles. *SS status: This section is for those collectors out there who are wondering how the car was originally manufactured. Using just the VIN, I can tell that it is at least a "custom" model and not a "base", and all SSes were customs. It is more likely than not that it was an SS. However, from what I've researched, the only way to actually prove whether an El Camino was originally an SS is to show a build sheet

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
