Up For Sale is my 1972 Chevy El Camino this is my daily driver I'm the second owner of a all original Dry California Car. I started a body on restoration about 2 years ago starting with tuning up the engine and adding electronic ign , new Edelbrock Carb 650 cfm, Performer manifold , new belts and radiator hoses, new alternator new water pump and fan clutch. Rebuilt 350 Trans new U Joints and balanced the drive shaft, brake job all around, new upper A arm bushings, Idler arm assy,tie rod end inner, tie rod end outer on passenger side and wheel seals. 4wheel alingment she goes down the road straight. New Glass Packs and Chrome Tips. 15x8" Cragars Rear and 15x7" Cragars Front Goodyear tires all around good tread. The interior has been stripped it needs new door panels, headliner and the seat covered, I have installed a new factory carpet kit myself looks great. The dash pad is cracked from heat and I installed a gauge package over the original radio also new door rubber seals. The exterior has been stipped down to bare metal two lower front fender patch panels installed. The rear quarter's on both side have had body work done at one time looks like it had backed into something at tail light level. There is a hole in the top of the cab from a antenna from a CB radio. I replaced the tail gate as the old one had a crease in it. She smokes just a little when starting but doesn't use oil I figure it's valve seals from sitting for some time before I got her . Looks like the original engine , trans and Posi rear end to the El Camino . It's an AC car with the original R-12 I replaced the POA valve and installed a new dryer to the system recharged with R-12 and she ran cool then slowly leaked out I figure it's the large upper hose that's leaking. There is minor rust on the floor behind the drivers seat only not real bad but it shoud be addressed ,the rear window base had rust from a canopy that was installed when the car was new, I cut it out and replaced with a new heavyier gage piece but haven't finished welding it in. The rear window is just siliconed in temporary so I could drive I have all the rear window moldings that are not shown also I was cloneing a 72 SS Body and have drilled the front fenders for SS emblems and welded the holes for lower body moldings . All in All it's a great old El Camino Drive it any where I've just lost interest and short on funds to finish her up. Ask any and all questions before you bid I'll be glad to answer.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive 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.
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
