1972 Chevy El Camino Loaded Big Block Classic-vintage-project Car on 2040-cars
Union, West Virginia, United States
|
Up for bids is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino that was an original factory big block car. There is no engine or transmission with this car, body only. This car is very rare and unique because of its factory options and the condition it is in. This car has been in inside storage since around 2002. Before that it was stripped and sprayed with an epoxy or etching primer. It has had both quarter panels replaced at about the same time. Guys you will not believe this cars condition till you see it with your own eyes. Underneath this car is O rust. that's right, no rust. The floors, frame, braces under the bed etc are all very, very solid. Its unbelievable for a car this age to be this rust free. If youre looking for the right car to restore don't miss out on this one. On top of no rust underneath, to make it even more rare and appealing its loaded with options not found everyday on a 1972 El Camino. It has a 12 bolt rear, front power disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, actual cowl induction hood and a tilt steering column. You don't find all this on one car very often. The front clip was removed when I got the car but most parts are there to put it back as a complete car as it should be. Right off I see missing are as follows, hood hinges, front bumper brackets, one inner fender,and I think theres supposed to be a filler panel that goes between the grille and bumper missing. There may be some trim pieces also missing but I have a lot of it. The doors are very nice except I think theres a very small rust spot on the lower corner of the drivers door, very small, think theres a pic of it. Bottoms of the doors are great as are the door jams and rocker panels. The front fenders are good but I think someone replaced the bottom of one of them, not rusted through but they have replaced it with a new section, its done nicely. The cowl induction hood seems very solid also. I do not have the original induction air cleaner assy but there available aftermarket reasonable. The radiator support is there and appears to be very solid and it has the AC condenser still attached to it. Both bumpers are very, very nice driver quality. Bed floor is solid also. Tailgate looks bad in pic but its just where the paint has come off over time, it is absolutely solid also. Looking inside this car it is is upper driver quality all through although to be nice it needs updated. The head liner has a hole in it from my guess is from a mouse making a new home. The seat needs some attention but its NOT all ripped up, just needs recovered. Same for carpet, ok but needs replaced to be nice. The door panels are very, very nice driver quality, not perfect but nice. The dash pad I think is perfect, don't see that very often on a 72 model. Also the dash has NOT been all butchered up to add accessories as most of them have been done. There is a small gauge panel on the bottom of the dash but easily removed with no damage visible. The tilt column is good and tight and it has a SS wheel on it. Actually the complete interior of this car could be useable with only a good cleaning. Forgot to mention, this car has a pretty nice SS grille with it also. Don't know what else to say about this El Camino so email me with your questions or concerns. If your in the market for a super nice, super solid, original big block El Camino to restore do not miss out on this one. This solid of a car doesn't come along everyday. The buy it now price is more than fair for a car in this condition with the options it has. This is way better than buying a cheap rust bucket and have to replace every panel on it. Check out my positive feedback guys, you don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. I require a $500 deposit at auctions end and the car can sit here awhile as long as its paid for in full. I will work with you or a shipper to get it loaded. This car has a clean clear title. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel you bid. PLEASE do not bid if you are not serious about completing the deal should you be the winning bidder. This costs money and time. Also the car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early should it sell locally. Look over the pics, ask any questions you may have. If its not in the pics, I don't have it guys. There are pictures of everything so please keep that in mind. Not a lot missing other than what was mentioned in the listing. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this rare, well optioned 1972 El Camino.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf
Tue, 23 Apr 2013The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
