1966 El camino 283 auto power steering with cold hang on a/c uses 134R. I drive this car everyday its very dependable does real good on gas and hasnt failed yet. Ive known this car for 10 years and the way you see it is how its looked the whole time ive known the car. It has been repainted at sometime and id say they added the 327 emblems the engine has the code T0820de which shows 283 looks original to me it still has bolt retainers on the exhaust bolts. Ill tell you what I know and make sure you look at the pics very good.
Things that dont work
Radio
Front Running lites
One back up lite
odometor
Wipers work but you have to push the washer button probably the switch
domelite works from the right door
I believe everything else works fine as stated the odometor does not work the speedometor does work the car shows 69439 The title shows 76300 I think the previous owner was trying to guess but its almost 50 years so who knows. You will find some bubbles ive tried to show them the driver side floor has some rust and the passenger rear floor is just starting to rust also shown in pics. Car has dual exhaust runs great will use alittle oil but again its almost 50 years old. The front of the hood is rusted I would get a new hood doors and tailgate are great inside of the bed has very little wear for the age. It even has 3 out of 4 T3 headlites still in it. Boxed frame very solid front brakes are touchy im going to try and readjust them but they are drum brakes and they have a different feel. This is a good driving car I would drive this car home. How many 66 El caminos do you see show up at the shows? Not many dont buy a rust bucket here is a very original car to start with. Selling as/is no reserve!! I do have it for sale local I just applied for a new KY title in a dealers name it should be in by the time the auction is over. If you have 0 feedback you need to contact me first or ill cancel your bid. I expect a 250.00 deposit within 24 hours of auctions end. Full payment within 7 days of auctions end. Will work with your shipper will also work on pick up time as long as the car is paid for first.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob 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.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
