1971 El Camino SS 454 Project, let me start out by saying how I came about the car, I bought the car from a restoration shop in Florida, I have been after this car for a long time now, the gentleman that had the car was in the slow process of getting the car redone when he passed away and the car has been sitting dormant in a shop till I was able to get the car from the family. The gentleman that had the car by my understanding from me and him talking at one time, bought the car from a local guy who owned it and bought the El Camino for the sole purpose to tow his LS6 chevelle to the drag strip, which the car still retains its trailer hitch that was used. The car in its present condition is a project, but a very great project for someone. The only rust that I know of in the car is a little in the bed, which you can see from the pictures. The floors are perfect from what I can see. The front fenders have one or two little bubbles coming up in them. But the best part is that the rear quarters have already been replaced, and where put in very well. So the little bit of rust left would be an easy fix for someone. The car features a cowl induction hood with factory hood pins, A/c, p/s, p/b, tilt wheel, buckets and console. But the best part is that the car is a factory SS 454 LS5 car, and I do have the correct numbers matching 512 block that has already been redone and is new wrapped up in plastic on my floor with a steel crank in it. The motor is standard bore and comes with a correct set of LS6 piston and rods. The piston and rods where in the motor when the car came to the restoration shop by my understanding. The transmission in the car is a Turbo 400, and I do not know if its the numbers matching trans, because I have not crawled under their to check. The rear end in the car is a 12 bolt, and looks to have never been taken out. The worst part of the hole car is that the cowl tag is missing off the top of firewall, I was told by the restoration shop that the tag was taken off by the owner, and I never got it from the family after he passed. I can look and see from the door jams and all that the car might have come from the factory a green color and had a white bucket seat interior. Most of the interior is still in the car, including the seats and complete SS dash, the tachometer and tilt wheel is still in the car. The Original shifter is still in the car but the console itself is missing. Under the Hood, the compressor and most all A/c stuff that I can tell is still their, as well the p/s and p/b setups. The car at one time was changed to headers and their still in the engine bay. The radiator is in the bed of the El Camino but the radiator topper is still attached under the hood and still retains the sticker that says 454 on it. This is a great project of a real car. And is going to make a amazing car when done. The car is for sale locally and is subject to be taken off if sold. The car is sold as is with no warranty. A 25% deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end and the balance due within 7 more when the car is to be picked up or arrangements are made for the car to be shipped. If you have any questions about the car please fill free to ask and I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks and God Bless Kody 251-454-5455

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
