1971 Chevrolet El Camino Custom Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
This car has lived a very pampered life. about 20 years ago a man from Southern Oregon went searching for an El Camino for his wife. He set out to find the perfect car and ran across a gentleman from Northern California wine country. He had a 1970 with factory A/C that he had purchased for his wife to run parts and supplies back and forth from town to the winery. He purchased the car and took it back to Oregon where he took it apart and rebuilt it for his wife. Over the years the car started to show wear and tear of every day use, so he parked the car and found another El Camino and rebuilt that one. I purchased the 1970 and drove it to Spokane where I re-freshened his restoration. New paint, suspension, carburetor, engine tune, brakes, bed liner, interior detail. I repaired the cowl induction hood and some electrical problems. I don't know the exact mileage on the vehicle but the car has about 60,000 miles since the original restoration. Roy told me that when he was doing the original restoration he had rebuilt the motor and transmission. When I serviced the transmission and adjusted the valves I agree the car shows very little wear in the motor, transmission, or undercarriage. I didn't see any signs of rust or bondo in the car.When I took the suspension apart the parts showed age but were not worn out. All the sheet metal line up properly. I do not believe this is an original SS car but the badge on the grill and the cowl induction hood were there when I purchased the car. This car runs wonderful and drives better than expected for it's age. Roy couldn't remember the size of cam he put in the original rebuild but the car has a little lope plenty of power and a great sound. Call Rick for more information 509-290-2441.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
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.
