 THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!     Up for bids is a 1973 Chevrolet Elcamino. This is a running driving project car or just check it over and drive it as is. This Elcamino has what I think is a H.O. 305 engine, I haven't run any numbers so im just going by what the previous owner told me. The engine sounds and runs good, the carburetor may need a little adjusting as it seems to be a bit rich especially when it warms up. It looks to be a fairly new Edelbrock carb. The trans is an automatic and it shifts good. Theres no smoke or strange noises coming from the engine, sound good. The car has had some new parts just recently put on the front suspension. Theres some of the ball joints replaced, tie rod end etc. and it has new front brake pads. The rear brakes are very good also.The car drives really nice for a 73 model since all the worn parts have been installed. The wheels are fair condition with some rust spots starting on them. The rears are very wide as they have 50 series tires on them. I think they have the wrong lug nuts on the wheels because they just don't seem to fit right, think maybe there unilug wheels with regular lug nuts on part of them. Some of them seem ok. The rear tires are worn out, the fronts have tread but not matched. The exhaust on this car is pretty loud, it has headers with header mufflers but no tail pipes. Its loud but sounds good. The interior of this Elcamino needs some work but is useable as it is if you want to go that route. Some of the interior trim is missing like the package shelf and the lower back corner pieces. The shoulder belts are still there but the seat belts are missing. It has a hard shell dash cover on it which is in good condition. There is an aftermarket gauge panel mounted on the dash, think theres a pic of that. The seat has a nice cover on it but the seat is torn up underneath it. There is new black carpet that was just recently installed. The door panels are driver quality although somebody cut holes in the upper part to install speakers but they have been taken out. The lower metal part of the dash looks to be a green color but that would be easy to change, theres not much of it showing. The body on this Elcamino is pretty decent for the model. It has been painted flat black with a red stripe and gloss black stripes on the hood. Underneath this car is super solid as most of them are completely rusted away on a car this old. The bed floor, bed cross members and all the sheet metal underneath is some of the best ive seen on these cars. The floor boards have been repaired with sheetmetal and they did a very nice job on them. There are a couple pics of them before the carpet was installed. They were also painted before putting in the carpet so they will last a long time. The body has some small dents and dings but there seems to be very little rust. There is some filler work on the flat part of the wheel lip on the rear wheel opening for some reason, don't think its rust but maybe just where they started finishing it off, not sure. The bed floor is good as is the tailgate. Bumpers are driver quality but need rechromed for them to be nice. The front bumper filler panels are missing. Theres no chrome for the bed but the rear window chrome is there, just needs new clips to install it. The Elcamino has new door weather stripping on both doors and also the window wipes are new, these parts alone cost quite a bit of money. The doors are pretty solid with some light rust starting on the bottom but don't think theres any holes. The paint as I said is flat black, it looks decent but a nice shiny paint job would do wonders for this car but maybe youre ito the stealth thing and the flat is right for you. Also, just remembered the hood has a dent right in the middle of it but theres no brace underneath it there so it can be worked out. This is a decent old car guys but its far from new. It is a great car to do a little work on and use as a daily driver or go all out with a restoration. It does need a few minor things and also to be checked out before being road worthy, therefore I recommend you trailer or tow it to your place but that's up to you. I have run it out the road a few times but its not licensed or insured so that's all I could do. Also no idea of the actual mileage, cant say for sure the speedo works as I forgot to check it. That's about all I know to tell you so email me with your questions. Remember this is a running driving project car so very little work and youre good to go. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all good. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people so rest assure you dealing with an honest ebayer, I tell it like it is. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must email me before bidding to assure me you will go through with the deal should you be the winning bidder. If you do not I will cancel your bid. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this great Elcamino. This car has a clean and clear VA title ready to go.  REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!!

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put 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.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
