Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

Up for auction with a very reasonable reserve is a very nice 1984 Chevrolet El Camino with Factory 305 V8 and Turbo 350 automatic transmission with 166K.  Car has power windows, power door locks with remote key fob, and power driver seat.

This El Camino has been well maintained with a lot of custom touches.  All new interior, consisting of a very nice combination of black vinyl and suede.  Seats were completely redone, door panels are all new, custom covered rear panel, new black carpet and full black suede headliner and visors. Very nice sounding stereo system with a Clarion nz500 flip out 7" touch-screen radio with iPod integration. The rear speakers are Alpine 6x9’s with some JL 4x6’s in the dash.  Behind the hidden compartment is an Alpine type R subwoofer powered by an Alpine PDX amp that sounds very nice. 

As for the suspension, just about everything has been upgraded or replaced.  It has Hotchkis lowering springs and Edelbrock shocks on all 4 corners.  Both front and rear sway bars were upgraded with Addco’s.  New upper and lower front control arms, new idler arm, new pitman arm, new center link, new inner and outer tie rods with Edelbrock billet adjusters as well as all new ball joints.  When the suspension was rebuilt the car also had new front disc brakes with new drilled and slotted rotors and a throaty sounding 2-1/2" Flowmaster true dual exhaust. 

Wheels are staggered chrome IROC’s - 16x7 up front and 16x8 on the rear.  Rear tires still have plenty of tread but the front are in need of replacing.

The body is in overall good shape the previous owner painted it and did a color matched linex bedliner the paint is not show quality and has some hazy areas but overall looks good and the car gets compliments everywhere it is driven.  Body had typical dents and dings of a 20 year old car and the bed shows wear from being used to haul parts around town and could use some touch up.  All faded lenses were replaced with new, at the same time a new billet grill and new chrome headlight bezels were also installed.  The new lenses and chrome really make this El Camino stand out from most others and people always compliment it.

Carb was rebuilt three months ago, also recently installed a new headlight dimmer switch, new ignition switch, new fan switch, new blower motor and all fluids have been recently changed.  Just had new plugs, new air filter and an oil change.  This car has been well maintained and is ready for a new owner.

Car is being sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied.  I recommend that any potential bidder come see this car in person so there are no surprises.  If you have any questions or would like to come check it out feel free to call me.  336.339.6867

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
