You're looking at a 1966 El Camino that came from California a few years ago. It was painted just before I got it. Although the paint job has no runs and is very shiny I would rate the paint job as driver quality, but not show quality. The transmission is thought to be the original 2 speed powerglide, which works well. The motor was completely rebuilt by Mike Lester, a man who's been rebuilding engines for over 40 years.The heads was completely gone thru as well as the complete block. It has new .040 over pistons, rings, bearings, seals, cam, etc. NO MILES since the rebuild. Being a California car there's hardly any rust. There is only one area of rust that I know of, which is behind the driver's seat next to the back of the cab = very small and an easy fix (see pic). I have parts of the chrome that goes around the back window, but I believe there may be a couple pieces missing. They are available thru Ebay. The interior needs completion. The A.C. is hooked up, but we did not charge it. The truck bed is lined with a rough coating to help protect the bed. In all for being 47 years old it's in amazing shape. Although it could be called a daily driver I could not, mainly because of the age of this truck. Compared to the work done there's very little left to make the truck a 30K+ show stopper. Of all of the years El Caminos were made this is my choice of the year made. I am not working on vehicles anymore because of my age and physical limitations. I don't plan on giving this vehicle away, but I do plan to sell this truck, so bid your best, and bid in confidence that I have not misled the condition in any way.This is a great representation of a 1966 El Camino and, hopefully will go to someone who will appreciate it for many years to come. Any questions please call Tom at 217-306-2821. The truck can be seen by appointment in Chestnut, Il. 62518. Thanks for looking!

The odometer reads 64,737 miles, but I can not verify the mileage. Besides the motor rebuild we also replaced the drag link in the steering. The steering (power steering) is in very good condition now, and will need nothing.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
