1972 El Camino Custom No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Lanett, Alabama, United States
For sale is a 1972 Chevrolet El
Camino Custom. It runs and drives/breaks great, and I’ve gone through periods where I
used it as a primary means of transportation. It sure is an attention getter—I can’t
even go to the grocery store or gym without several people standing around it
as I go to leave, asking questions, etc. I’ll miss it deeply for that reason
alone. The pics were taken outside, but
it has been garage kept since day 1. It’s not perfect. The belt sometimes
squeals on start up, but it starts right up, runs and drives great. It’s got a
few scratches, cracks, rust, dings etc. but nothing big or very noticeable. The
dash seems to be missing some fasteners where the gauge cluster attaches. All
the gauges work except for the oil lamp. No A/C or radio installed. While the
headlights/taillights and blinkers work perfectly, the lights in the dash
(blinker indicators, bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night, etc.) work but
not consistently. The previous owner had pulled the A/C control panel out for
some reason—I suppose to replace it (as you can see it sits on the column in
the pictures above). Headliner’s in great shape. One of
the seats is in great shape while the other isn’t—thus I put the seat covers on
both. It has the SS style dash (round gauges) and floor shifter (Hurst V-Matic
2) which I love. Windshield wipers work. Wheels are in good shape. Lots of
work done (on the suspension specifically) which I’ve attached pictures of the
receipts to account for. Model: L48, 350 CID, 4-bbl Engine: 350 4 bolt main—casting #
3970014. Engine ID Code: V0319TJA; Flint,
MI Assembly Vin 1D80J2B568266; Baltimore, MD
Assembly Rear Axle: CKD 0507B2, 2.73:1 –
12 Bolt (L48/350-4); Buffalo, NY Assembly Never had access to a lift in
order to identify the transmission type as the only way I know to do that is
via the pan shape. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
