1972 Chevrolet El Camino Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-door 5.7l on 2040-cars
Wynne, Arkansas, United States
this is a running and driving elcamino i drove this car/truck for 2 hours the other day and it drove fine.this is an excellant candidate for a rolling restoration.the body is pretty rust free for an elcamino but it does have its issues.the floor pans are solid in the front behind the seat there the is rust through but is not a very hard fix because most of it is still in tact.the firewall and radiator frame is perfect which on these cars is ussually rusted bad.the front floors are solid as a rock (this is a southern car)the front fenders are very nice with the exception of some surface rust.the doors are rust free as well as the rockers.the bed is nice with minimal rust no rust through.this was a vynal top car at one time but someone in the past removed and painted it so the windshield channels are visibly clean the glass is all nice with no cracks.the intiorior is drver quality and all fuctions work(meaning lights blinkers,horn and heater and dash lights)the front bumper is in good shape but the grill has the bottom filler piece missing blinker lenses are perfect.the motor is a 350 and i have no idea if its original or not has long tube headers and a holly 4bbl. it also has an hei distributer.the trans. is a 700r4 and it functions well it shifts though all the gears.i personally think the 68-72 elcos are the best and most sought after this is a very restorable project with the hard to find or expensive parts in good shape.you could easily drive it while you worked on it.the back tires are new the fronts are ok the old school rims in pretty good shape also.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
