With a recent repaint in bright red, its hard to miss this El Camino, and youll be struck by just how right it looks. There isnt an awkward line anywhere on the car, and the grafting of the pickup bed onto the Chevelles front clip is seamless, a testament to the stylists at GM. The paint and bodywork remain in good condition throughout, with decent panel gaps and straight sheetmetal that has apparently never been rusty; this is due to the fact that it was a California car until 2011 and it has been garage keep. The paint is two-stage urethane, so it'll look this good practically forever given even moderate care. The bed has obviously seen some use, but then whats the point of having a truck if you cant put it to work now and again? I guarantee youll be the only one at the Home Depot with one of these carrying your supplies. Thanks to its Chevelle DNA, the El Camino benefits from the myriad of interior choices available to Chevelle restorers, including the two tone grey cloth upholstery found inside this Elky. A subtle contrast to the bright red paint. Using period-correct materials and factory designs surely help maintain the authentic feel, but a few smart upgrades help make this a car that can be driven daily. Theres a alpine stereo head unit under the dash, along with a pair of Alpine Type S 6x5 speakers mounted in after market kick panels to deliver the sound, and the gauges are all fully functional. Other than the stereo everything is period correct inside the vehicle. The powertrain, which is comprised of a 350LT1 and the original 4 speed Muncie manual transmission with Holley shifter. Although there were no 350s available in 1964, it looks like it belongs there thanks to a coat Chevy paint, simple valve covers, and a chrome air cleaner. A Elderbrook 4-barrel carburetor features an electric choke, electric fuel pump, and pointless distributor . Not really intended to be a street brawler, the engine is instead a relaxed travelling partner that isnt afraid to work hard with great torque and a wonderful V8 sound from the dual tailpipes out back. It has 15 in Foose Grey Legend Rim; the tires are brand new BF Goodrich. With all the goodness of a Chevelle and the practicality of a truck, perhaps its time to revisit the El Camino.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
