1966 Chevrolet El Camino with the Malibu trim option. Numbers matching 283 with the power pack heads and power glide transmission. It has a Holley Performance four barrel carburetor and Edlebrock Performer intake. I do have the original valve covers, intake, carburetor and so forth that come with it. It has power steering but needs the pump installed which I have along with a new hose. New alternator, new radiator, new exhaust. Runs and drives excellent, good power; brakes are good. All electrical works. It is painted a Corvette color called Daytona Sunset Orange. Interior has been redone in tan with a NPD interior kit; Chevy woodgrain steering wheel (I have the original steering wheel also); Carpet has a little wear on drivers side but a floor mat would cover it up. Shoulder belts were installed for safety and I do have the original seat belts too. It was originally white with red interior from the factory but received this makeover back in '09. Very solid and straight car. All original panels, floor pans and rockers are solid. Bed has been lined. Glass and weatherstripping has been replaced and look great. Under dash cd player was installed and sounds great. Chrome Corvette rally's; Tires are good, the rear are new. I was told the 46939 miles were original to the car when I bought it and looking at how solid and straight the car is I would think they are too. Has some paint bubbling here and there which I pictured, but are in areas that can be fixed if you wanted to without painting the whole car. Overall its a good Southern car and gets compliments all the time. The only reason I'm selling it is because I have a project I'm working on. Any questions call 704-287-6658 Thank you and God bless.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
