This is a 1971 El Camino that is rut free. It was restored some years back and isn't show quality but a very solid car that's been painted red and gold with the tan interior. There are a few chips and scratches, nothing major but going from a show car. The bed of the el camino is in excellent shape and has been rhino lined the similar tan color staying with the theme of red and gold. Power steering power disk runs and drives excellent. I believe this have been a 350 car originally. The current engine is a real GM Performance 502 crate engine with 3900 miles on it, yes the $10,000 dollar one when youre done with everything. Ceramic headers 400 turbo transmission, 12 bolt posi rear end with boxed control arms. Im not a big el camino fan but if I had a Chevelle or Camaro Id transfer these items and sell the el camino but I don't and with 6 other cars, none of them are chevy's for this excellent set up. Has the 850 carb and proper distributer that is called for by GM, electric fuel pump, huge 4 core radiator, Flowmaster mufflers that end at the rear axle, tach and gages, and air shocks. This car drives excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Aftermarket rims and BFG tires. We added a little more timing to it because of the altitude here in Denver and its a flat out monster, a Denver car. Original internals so no cam change or anything like that. Just so there is no emails asking for the price, the reserve is $8k. The deluxe version of this engine is close to 9k but you still don't get everything that's been added here. I would and guess will use it in one of my other cars but like chevy with chevy and ford with ford so this engine in an olds will work and am ok going that route if it doesn't sell. Ive never driven one of these crates before and was pleasantly surprised. I have this advertised locally and reserve the right to end at anytime if I get my price. Trading up or down locally for Olds 442 Buick GS or GTO also but if the reserve is met here, I will sell here and let auction run out. Will be adding more photos.

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?
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
