Up for sale is a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS-396, project car/barn find. It is a midwest vehicle with rust that needs a complete restoration. I do not have a build sheet or any other documentation, but it appears to be a correct "SS-396" Super Sport El Camino. Odometer shows 62,790 miles, but probably is incorrect. It has factory air conditioning, tilt steering column, power steering, power front disc brakes, turbo 400 automatic transmission, 12-bolt rearend, 396 cubic inch V-8 engine with Rochester Quadrajet carburetor. Interior has a bench seat with automatic shifter on column, factory SS gauges and tachometer. Radio is an aftermarket unit. It has the "SS" hood (without the cowl induction flapper). The front bumper is from a Chevelle, and is not correct for an El Camino. It has correct 14 inch "SS" 5-spoke wheels. The engine runs and sounds good. The transmission goes into gear, but I have not driven the vehicle as the brakes are not in working order. Please look the pictures over and ask any questions that you may have before placing a bid. This vehicle is being sold "As Is", with no warranty. I have the vehicle for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I require a deposit of $200 via PayPal within 24 hours of auction ending and the balance paid in full within 7 days in cash or U.S. Post office money orders. Vehicle must be picked up within a reasonable amount of time. After 30 days, a storage fee of $30 per day will apply. Thank you and good luck bidding.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
