Ongoing project.  Reliable enough to drive everyday. 

Trying to retire and I want to pay some bills.  I've had this El Camino for almost 7 years  Purchased from an amateur customizer who did side work and he used this El Camino as his "demo" to show potential clients his work.  The paint and body work are at least 10 years old and the pictures will highlight the flaws, however, this is more of a 3 footer rather than a 10 footer.  The paint is glass smooth and shines beautifully.  If you don't want to attract attention this is not the car for you. 

The ZZ2 has less than 3,000 miles on it (I don't know how many miles on the car itself).  The ZZ2 is a Crate engine very similar to the ubiquitous ZZ4.  It has the same aluminum heads, 9.8:1 compression, full roller cam, 4 bolt mains a bulletproof crank and a square bore intake high rise manifold patterned after the LT1 Z28 design from 1970. Replacement cost around $3700.

Hi torque Mini-Starter

Grand Prix Frame stiffeners

G Body specific 9' Ford rear with Posi Center Section and 3.5 ratio with Edelbrock adjustable upper arms and boxed lowers, Hellwig Anti Sway Bar, Air Shocks and Moog Cargo Coil springs, 11" drum brakes app cost $2400.

Doug's Shorty Ceramic coated headers $550 into a 2.5" 'X' pipe.  G Force double hump crossmember  $245

Monte Carlo SS 200 4R Transmission, rebuilt 2500 RPM Converter, Hardened Input shaft and TCI constant pressure valve body ( current trans is a TH350 the 200 4R is included in the sale ) $2300.

Custom built and precision balanced driveshaft that works with both the 200 and the 350 transmissions.

3 core Radiator, new A/C Condenser, Evaporator, Compressor, Hoses for ice cold air at least $500

B&M Ratchet Shifter $125

Wheels and tires $1600.

Craftec Bed Cover $250 ( still new in box )

I could keep going but you get the drift. 

There are things that need to be done but nothing major.  The interior is presentable but not perfect. 

There are seals that need to be installed in the rear and there's a whine in the rear that could just be bearings or a backlash adjustment.  Remember this is a 9" so you pull the pumpkin and put it on the bench or bring it to your local Ford dealer and let them do it.  Probably the easiest rear in existence to set up.

My point is that if you have an El Camino or a G Body that you've been dreaming of building you could buy this car swap parts and re-sell it if you don't like the look or sell the one that you will never get around to building because you don't have the $10,000 for paint and another $10,000 for drivetrain upgrades and buy this car and proudly display it at your next local cruise.

I'm doing a "Buy It Now" because the last few times I listed cars the "winning" bidders all disappeared after casting the winning bid. 

I will answer any question honestly ( see my feedback ) just ask and I will post valid questions and answers on the listing.

This vehicle has a current NC inspection but it does not have any original emission equipment installed so be mindful of your state regulations before considering a purchase.

My Price is firm so don't waste an email asking for a better price.  I may consider a trade but need $3500 cash out of the deal.  I would consider a stock El Camino, any year or a decent old Pick Up truck.  Don't need a daily driver or a project.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
