1986 Chevrolet Chevelle El Camino 76k Original Pampered Miles Excellent! Topper on 2040-cars
Burleson, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is one of the cleanest, finest, survivor El Caminos you will ever see of the last generation of El Caminos. At just over 76K miles, this was Grandpa's pampered baby right up until the day he passed away this spring. Meticulously cared for, this is a rust free, always garaged, Arizona El Camino. He purchased it in 2006 with 60K miles. Had one repaint that really wasn't needed, but paint job is very good, plus he added wheel opening molding. He found an original 60/40 seat that he had upholstered with plush extra padding and velour, and is a great upgrade to the original bench seat. It is very comfortable! This car handles, rides, and drives like new. For an 80's car, to me, it is better than expected, driving at 80MPH just as smooth and easily as if you are going 30MPH. No weird wind noise or whistles. Has air shocks on the back. The rare, locking topper is excellent, and is newly painted white. Tires are excellent on original rally wheels. The V6 doesn't feel like a V6 at all. It has plenty of power and starts quickly every time with the throttle body fuel injection. The overdrive transmission has been serviced, and helps it achieve 25 MPG. The brakes are almost new. The A/C is colder that these were new. Almost $700 spent on the R134a conversion, and blows very cold. Everything works on this car. Before Grandpa passed away, to my surprise, he wanted a new stereo installed. So,I installed a new AM/FM/CD DIN radio to replace the original, and I added two 6x9 3-way speakers behind the seat in addition to the two speakers in the dash. I will include the original radio that I pulled out of it. This is an amazing example of an original El Camino that is in superb condition, and we really want to see it go to a new buyer that will appreciate it and enjoy it as much as Grandpa did. $1000 deposit required immediately after purchase or auction end. We will work with your transport company, or will accommodate a local pickup from Burleson, Texas, just south of Fort Worth. Thank you and Happy Bidding!

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
