3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!! This is relisted because the last winning bidder says they didn't realize how great the distance would be to come to pick it up so that being said PLEASE make sure you can pick this up or have it shipped BEFORE bidding. This is a 1974 GMC SPRINT which we all know is the same as the Elcamino. It is a running driving project car. It can be made into a road worthy daily driver with just checking it out and fixing a few minor things or redo it and make an extra nice car. This car has been off the road quite awhile so it needs checking over before putting it on the road so that being said it will need to be hauled to your location for this purpose. The engine is a good running 350 with a turbo 350 trans which seems to shift fine. We ran it and tried the trans while it was sitting on stands in the garage only because there isnt any license or insurance on it. This car would be an easy fix for someone that wants an Elcamino or Sprint but doesnt want to invest a lot of money. With a little minor work you can make it a daily driver and work on updating it as you have the time and money. The body on this car is pretty good but it does have the usual rust underneath as most of them this body style did. It also has weak front floor pans and the rear ones will need work immediately. These can be repaired with a simple patch or replace them with new panels depending on how nice you want to make it. The pics show red primer on parts of the car, some of the places look to have been body worked and some of the places are just surface rust primed to keep the rust down. There are no holes showing other than a very narrow section in the bed floor, think theres a pic of it. Its not major, would be an easy fix. The doors dont seem to have any rust thru on the outside and the bottoms of them are pretty good with surface rust mostly. Fenders are showing a little primer on them but I think thats mostly surface rust also as they look pretty solid. Quarter panels have had some work done on them I think but theres no rust showing through yet. The tailgate has no rust thru, just surface rust and a few dings. The tires all hold air but are about worn out. The wheels are a nice set of rallys with 2 of them missing the trim ring. The front bumper is pretty good with some chrome peeling. The rear bumper is bent up a little but ok for a driver. The interior is driver quality. Dash pad is cracked but the door panels are both pretty decent, tops and bottoms. The seat is pretty good also. Carpet isnt much but thats a cheap fix. The car has a tilt wheel and it has a little play in it as do a lot of the GM vehicles. Its an easy fix by just tightening 3 bolts inside it. The car also has what seems to be all the air conditioning parts on it although its going to need charged. The frame is in great condition. This is a good project car guys as it wont take much to get it on the road. I have a very fair buy it now price on this so dont miss out. Remember this is a 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!! If you have any questions please ask before bidding. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding. Sorry about that but there seems to be more and more non paying bidders on here each day that just want to mess up your auction. Also the car is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction only. A lot of my auctions do end early so if you want the car dont wait around and maybe miss out. Also remember when the reserve is met the buy it now goes away. I require a nonrefundable $500 deposit at auctions end and the balance in full within 3 days. Delivery is possible depending on your location. I have a friend going to Knoxville TN next weekend so if your in that area and need it delivered he can do it for a good price. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all positive so rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. You dont get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, we tell it like it is. Also the car can sit here a while you arrange shipping as long as its paid for according to the auction terms. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this gret 1974 GMC Sprint.

Forgot to put in the listing that the windshield has a crack on the passenger side. These windshields are in the salvage yards for $50. Just wanted to mention this so theres no question later. Thanks
On Apr-29-13 at 16:09:52 PDT, seller added the following information:
I thought I had covered everything in the listing but with several questions about a few things let me try again. The car has been off the road awhile and its going to need checked out real good all over before putting it on the road. The brakes work but are very weak. The engine starts right up and sounds good although sometimes the carb wants to try and flood but not everytime. It does run!!!!! As far as the body, it has had rust repair in some of the places that the primer is showing but a lot of it is just surface rust. The rear floors are real bad and the fronts are very soft. I hope this clears up any questions you had about the elcamino. If not please let me know.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
