1967 Chevrolet El Camino Big Block 396 Red Classic Muscle Car No Reserve on 2040-cars
Northridge, California, United States
|
Up for sale is a beautiful 1967 Chevrolet El Camino. I got
this car last year and have decided to sell it to get some capital for a
business I am starting (also selling an awesome Honda CB750 for the same reason
if you’re interested). That is why this beautiful car is up here with NO
RESERVE. I really wanted this car as a long-term driver/project, as it is my
favorite year of El Camino, but I am going to have to wait. Link here is to a video of the car The El Camino is in perfect shape to be a useable project car. It runs strong and feels great to drive. After its warmed up car fires right up on the first try and the transmission feels tight and shifts clean. Power steering is working well, the steering wheel is easy to turn even when stopped or moving slowly. The things I have personally added to this great elco are the brand new caps and beauty rings on the Chevy rally wheels (from Original Parts Group). Car has 15 inch rally wheels in the back and 14 inchers in the front to give it a more aggressive stance and the correct sizes of caps and rings for both sizes. Brand new headlight bezels and trim in the front on the sides of the grill. Car is the original color for its paint code “RR”, which is
Bolero Red, one of the most desirable colors for Chevelles and El Caminos of
this era. As you can see in the pictures paint looks absolutely amazing. Some
of the areas inside the bed have started to crack with age, but the car is
still a total stunner and gets attention everywhere on the road. Interior is black with a leather bench seat, which is in
good condition with few nicks and tears (see pictures). Black headliner is
nearly perfect with no sags or rips. The black carpet does not have rips, but has started to fade from age/sun and is kind of brown in some areas. Car is an original
396. I am not sure if the engine in it now is the original, but it is
definitely a big block. According to the previous owner it was rebuilt 10,000
miles before he sold it to me. (I’ve put a couple thousand on it since I bought
it last year.) It runs strong and sounds completely beastly. Has a stock carb
and still has enough speed to scare yourself. Transmission is a turbo 400 and feels clean when it shifts, no lag etc. I had the steering column totally rebuilt less than 100 miles ago so it does not feel sloppy when you’re shifting from park as most old automatics tend to feel. Bottom of bed has bed liner in it to keep away the bed rust El Caminos are so infamous for, but it looks awesome as well. The black against the red really pops The issues I would love to fix on the car are that it leaks oil, not sure from where, but for your driveways sake you will probably eventually want to get that fixed. It is not enough to affect the cars drive ability but it will leave stains when parked. Also the car needs some electrical work, as the taillights, gas gauge, dash lights and high beams do not work. Low beam headlights work well and selector switch (by your feet to switch between high and low beams) works fine. This wasn’t an issue for me as I have another car and only drove the El Camino around during the day, but it will at some point need to be addressed. The previous owner installed a kill switch that is actually pretty cool. It is under the dash and the car will not start without the switch being on. Probably the most clever theft deterrent I have ever seen. However, I think that it may be the culprit on the electrical issues, it has never caused the car to stall or malfunction, it’s just a hunch. It seems to me a new wiring harness would quickly fix all of the issues at once, but I have simply run out of time to install one myself. Car has a Kenwood Stereo with CD and AUX input, Two Kenwood
speakers in the back behind the seats. It’s not currently hooked up to power
because I disconnected it trying to hunt down the taillight/dashlight problem,
but speakers and antenna are wired to it and stereo works great This El Camino is all around a great car and would be a
great addition to a classic car collection or a first step into classic muscle
cars. The ‘67 just hzas so much personality and this car is no exception. |

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
