1970 Chevrolet El Camino 454, A/c, P/s, P/b, Freshly Rebuilt, Excellent on 2040-cars
Calabasas, California, United States
This
Van Nuys-built, rust-free, no hit 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom V8 w/original
A/C, P/B, and P/S was owned by an elderly piano teacher in Texas for 40 years and driven sparingly.
I acquired it three years ago from his estate. Originally
a Custom 350ci/TH350, the engine block was replaced before I got it but
otherwise it was very original, rust-free, and in very good condition. With the original engine gone, I had a GM
Mark IV 454, GM stock grind flat tappet cam, new Holley 4bbl, TH400, and 12
bolt rear end w/3.31 highway gears professionally installed and completely
restored the rest of the car inside and out.
The undercarriage is rust-free and untouched (except for painting the
outer frame rails for aesthetics). I had it professionally
repainted in the original astro blue (GM code 25), converted the interior from blue
to black, refurbished the dash w/OEM dash pad, new bench seat foam and covers,
complete new suspension (bushings, springs, rear air shocks, hi po sway bars
front and rear), front disc brake conversion,
new power booster and master cylinder, Flowmaster 2.5" exhaust w/H
pipe and chrome tips w/correct GM big block exhaust manifolds, new American
Racing polished aluminum SS style wheels and new BFG RWL tires (235/60/15 front
and 255/60/15 rear). All stainless is original and in very good condition. I did not reinstall the wheel opening trim because in my opinion the body looks cleaner without it. The original wheel opening trim (rears unmarked and fronts with minor dings) goes with the car. New
carpet; Holley 4bbl carb; in-dash OEM style tach; battery, cables and cut-off
switch; Goodmark cowl induction hood, emblems, pins and lanyards; HD four core radiator, 7
blade fan, severe duty fan clutch, and added coolant reservoir (she runs cool in any weather), weatherstripping;
Autosound digital OEM style AM/FM/Aux radio (original AM Delco radio goes with
the car). All A/C equipment is original,
new hoses, and is functional but needs a recharge. GM space saver spare installed in the cabin for more space and lighter weight;
the jack is original. I
did not refinish the bed because I use this as a parts hauler and left it as I
got it. Were I to keep this El Camino, I
would Linex or Rhino line the bed for utility purposes. This
El Camino has approx 400 break-in miles and runs flawlessly. She idles all day long at 650 rpm and runs
w/highway traffic at 65 mph tacking approx. 2500 rpm. I would not hesitate to drive her any
distance. I am reluctantly selling this
El Camino due to lack of space given two ongoing 1966 Corvette restorations.
I have easily $30,000 in this El
Camino. California tags paid through
August, 2014. If
you have any questions, call Jim at 818.429.0188 What

Officially Official: Chevrolet replaces Daewoo name in Korea

Chevrolet Camaro in Korea - Click above for high-resolution image
There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
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.
