1974 SUPER SPORT EL CAMINO! LOADED WITH ITS ORIGINAL 454, PS, PB'S, AND AC!

1974 SUPER SPORT EL CAMINO! A TRUE NUMBERS MATCHING 454 BIG BLOCK CAR THAT IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS! AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, & POWER BRAKES! ALL ORIGINAL & SOLID SHEET METAL! PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED THIS YEAR! LOTS OF MONEY INVESTED JUST THIS YEAR ALONE!

     This El Camino is truly remarkable. Not often can I say this but in this case, the photos as well as video do not do this El Camino a bit of justice. Over the last year this El Camino has received a tremendous amount of work. From brake and suspension work to the most significant enhancement, having it professionally repainted. Just within the last two weeks we installed the SS stripes as well as equipped it with a brand new set of 17" wheels and Nitto tires. The only mileage the wheels and tires have seen are what you've viewed within the video. Maybe ten miles at this point? A few years ago, the motor was also rebuilt and as you can see, everything was put back exactly how it should be. Mechanically the El Camino drives out like it just came off of the showroom floor.

Body: This El Camino is completely rust free. It retains all of its original sheet metal which is extremely straight. Which means that the El Camino managed to survive over three decades with out ever being molested or hacked on. That in its own is a fairly rare feat! Nearly a year ago, the El Camino was stripped and repainted. The craftsmanship is remarkable. The paint shines out beautifully and the stripes line up extremely well. The El Camino has a brand new setup of 17" custom wheels which are wrapped in brand new high dollar Nitto tires. I actually just purchased these and had them put in less than a week ago! They really give the El Camino that perfect stance. All of the glass through out the El Camino is in excellent shape as is all of the trim. The El Camino also retains its original Jack which can be seen within the photos located below. I also have a brand new El Camino emblem for the tail gate.

Engine & Mechanical: The El Camino still retains its original 454 big block. Which according to the previous owner, was rebuilt approximately three years ago and has little to no miles on it. He had driven it about one hundred miles the entire time he owned it and I know that we've put less then that on it since owning it. I would estimate that the motor has less than a thousand miles on it. It does not have a single mechanical issue. It starts up every time and runs out exceptionally well. The same can be said for the transmission. It shifts smoothly through out its gears and has zero mechanical problems. When the motor was installed, that is when new dual exhaust was installed. The exhaust setup compliments the motor very well as it sounds absolutely tremendous. The power steering setup works flawlessly as does the power brake setup. It does have front disc with rear drums. The El Camino does not squeak, shake, or pull when stopping. All of the electrical components through out the El Camino are in excellent working order. The turn signals, head lights, tail lights, the AC, windshield wiper blades, everything works! Even the original 8 Track radio still works (which can be viewed in the video below). The El Camino also is equipped with its original and larger ten bolt rear end. The shocks through out the El Camino have been updated and provide for a much smoother ride.

Interior: The majority of the interior has been redone and is of excellent condition. The bench seat has been recovered, a new headliner has been installed, the carpet is new, the door panels are new, and the new dash pad we just installed in the last week. About the only thing that the interior needs are the vents could be repainted. They are not cracked or broken but they are faded.

     These big block El Caminos are already fairly difficult to find. Now throw in the fact that it retains all of its original sheet metal, that it hasn't been butchered, and that its been fully restored, NOW you've got a whole lot of automobile for a fraction of what it would cost to build one. I personally would love to keep the El Camino but given my current situation, I have to sell it. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the El Camino early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this El Camino. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

Thanks,

Shawn

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
