I am selling a 1986 GMC Caballero Amarillo (El Camino). When I purchased the vehicle, it was a one owner car from an estate sale, where the original owner had passed away. I have a copy of the death certificate that was needed to get the new title on the vehicle. It has only 67,000 miles, and has never been smoked in. This is a very rare find! The car is completely original except for a properly installed CD player (still has the original A/M radio to put back in, if preferred). It has an automatic transmission, power steering and brakes, tilt wheel, cruise control, and ever so important, air conditioning that still works. It has the original build sheet, and the owner's manual still with it. This is the one you are always looking for, but hardly ever find!! It still has a lot of the original paint on it, but has had a couple of panels repainted on it, but they match up nicely. The interior is just like new. The car runs and drives the very best, without even so much as a rattle going down the road, or over a bump or railroad tracks. You would really have to drive it to appreciate what I am describing. If you are looking for a nice, clean, well taken care of El Camino, this is the one! The tilt steering wheel is as tight as it was when new when you move the steering wheel into the position that you desire. Things like that are just so uncommon in a vehicle of that age. Like I said, it has a lot of the original paint still, so there are a few little imperfections in the paint, and a few little surface rust spots starting to show, but they do not detract from the beauty of the originality of the truck. The body parts all fit perfectly. It only has a couple of parking lot dings that are barely noticeable (just want to be honest). You really have to look close to see them. The bed of the truck is excellent. It has never been used for hauling, and the paint in the bed is all original. This is a must see vehicle to appreciate the originality and the condition without having been restored!! When you drive it, you will not be disappointed. It is tight and smooth. You can certainly tell the miles are right, and how it has been taken care of. You will not drive one that will drive any better than this one!!! If you have any questions, or to set up an appointment to see it, you may call or text me @ 812 499-0694. It is available to be viewed PRIOR to bidding. If you are the lucky winning bidder, I will need a non refundable $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of the auction end, and the remainder of the payment within 7 days of the auction end. The payment needs to be in the form of cash, cashier's check, or bank transfer. The vehicle and title will only be released once the funds have cleared. I also reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Good luck, and happy bidding. THIS IS THE ONE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!! It will be a great addition for any collector!

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
