1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom. This is an awesome car that has recently been redone... The car has went through a lot of updates... It is an original A/C car. The prior owner done away with it when the motor was redone. It has a great running 350 with a slight cam. Aluminum radiator with electric/automatic fan. New dual exhaust out of new ceramic coated headers... Runs and sounds great. It's got a great sound without being obnoxious. New wheels and tires with a fresh alignment on front end. The inside originally was brown with the bench seat. I changed it to black. The interior has completely been redone. New dash pad, door panels, carpet, headliner, seats, custom console with storage, cup holders, Ipod/cd player, new speaker kit on backboard. Additional hidden storage in backboard as well. All new weatherstripping and headliner lace all around. New steering wheel, A pillar tach. custom gauge cluster in dash for easy visibility. Body matching paint carried through the cab. New floor mats, door handles, window cranks, etc. Tinted Windows. Several drivetrain parts are also new... New A arms, sway bar bushings, etc. Everything that was wore out and needed replaced was replaced... Reese receiver with 7 plug wiring harness. New chrome all around, bumpers, mirrors, door handles, bed rails, window trims (front,sides, and back, etc. There was some minimal rust on each side of the bed on the rockers. These 2 areas (1 on each side) was cut out and new metal welded in. The car originally had a vinyl top. When I bought it, it was shot. I elected to remove it and paint the roof. The roof did have typical surface rust, it was ground down, sealed and finished. I installed a new SS hood, new SS grill and badges. I removed the reverse lights, and the rear badge from the tailgate to make a nice, clean & smooth rear end. The bed is black rhino lined. The body work was done and finished off with a burnt orange/copper color accented with dark charcoal grey racing stripes on hood and tailgate. This car is a real head turner... A lot of work and money was spent on this beauty and I am very proud of it but am moving onto a 48 Ford pickup project. This is a solid car that is fun to drive, rides great, and is pretty quick. Just get in and drive... I know there is a lot of parts that were replaced that I'm failing to mention. The side trim is original with new mounting clips. I also have a few misc. items and a small amount of paint to go with the car along with a very nice car cover made for the car. I'm sure if you're interested, you have questions... My name is Shane and can be reached at 765-661-6227. The car is located in Warren, Indiana. We are roughly 30 minutes south of Ft. Wayne and an hour north of Indianapolis right off of I69. This car is for sale locally as well.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
