WE ARE SELLING OUR 1969 EL CAMINO. I WILL DO MY BEST TO DESCRIBE THE CAR HONESTLY AND COMPLETELY. WHILE YOUR READING THIS AND CONJURING UP A MENTAL IMAGE, THINK "NICE DRIVER". ITS NOT A REAL SS. I JUST ADDED THE BADGES FOR LOOKS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST (IN MY MIND ANYWAY)....THIS IS A CAR YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE. AS FAR AS I KNOW IT HAS NO MECHANICAL DEFECTS. WE DRIVE IT TO CRUISE INS 100 MILES ROUND TRIP ALL THE TIME. IT DOES NOT SMOKE OR RATTLE. IT TRACKS AND STOPS STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW.
BODY AND PAINT : A 7 OR 8 ITS STRAIGHT BUT IF YOU LOOK REAL LOW IN THE BACK BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS FOR INSTANCE YOU CAN SEE SOME SLIGHT BUBBLING. ITS NOT BAD AND HAVE TO LOOK FOR IT BUT ITS THERE. THE PAINT IS SMOOTH AS A NEW CAR PAINT. NOT MIRROR LIKE A SHOW CAR, BUT CERTAINLY NICE. NO BIG SCRATCHES ETC. SS 396 HOOD HAS BEEN ADDED ALONG WITH THE RED SS STRIPE. A NOTE ON THE CLOSEUP PICTURE OF THE WHEEL: THE REFLECTION OF ME THE TREES AND WHATEVER ELSE MAKES THE BODY ABOVE THE MOULDING LOOK DORKED UP. I ASSURE YOU ITS NOT.
UNDERCARRIAGE. NICE AND SOLID FRAME. LIKE YOUD EXPECT FOR A WELL MAINTANED VEHICLE OF ITS AGE. ITS NOT CONCOURS BUT ITS NOT A RUSTED CLUSTER EITHER.
GLASS: ALL GOOD. ORIGINAL EXCEPT THE WINDSHIELD. SOME SCRATCHES ON ONE OF THE WING WINDOWS. SLIGHT WIPER HAZE ON WINDSHIELD. NOT TOO BAD BUT ITS THERE.
THE MILEAGE ON IT IS I THINK 69000 OR SO, I CANT PROVE IT BUT IM THINKING IT MIGHT BE RIGHT. IM NOT SURE ITS GONE AROUND ONCE. ID SAY BETTER THAN 50 50 ITS ACTUAL. ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS WORK GAS GAUGE. AFTERMARKET GUAGES UNDER DASH.
DRIVETRAIN: 350 350 OBVIOUSLY REBUILT. (NOT BY ME) RUNS AND SHIFTS AS NEW. CHOKE WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD ETC. HEADERS AND DECENT EXHAUST. I THINK ITS THE ORIGINAL MOTOR AND TRANS, BUT I AM NOT POSITIVE.
INTERIOR: STOCK APPEARING. NEWER CARPET AND DOOR PANELS ETC. SEAT I THINK IS ORIGINAL AND ITS NICE. HEADLINER REPLACED. ORIGINAL BELTS. AFTERMARKET CD STEREO WITH PIONEER SPEAKERS. DASH PAD ISNT CRACKED. ID SAY AN 8. OH YEA THE DOME LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. DASH ISNT BUTCHERED.
FACTORY FRONT DISC BRAKES WORK AS GOOD AS A WELL MAINTAINED CAR. ALL THE LIGHTS BRIGHTS BLINKERS HORN WORK AS IT HAS BEEN RECENTLY STATE INSPECTED. NOT AN EASY TASK TO PASS WITH AN OLDER CAR HERE.
THE BED IS NICE NICER THAN MOST IT HAS SOME WEAR BUT IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT HAD RIP RAP ROCK HAULED IN IT. THE COVER IS NEWER AND REALLY WELL FIT AND MADE.
THE BOTTOMS OF THE DOORS AND TAILGATE ARE SOLID. THE CHROME. ITS ORIGINAL;. ITS NOT BAD BUT ITS GOT SOME AGING. ITS NOT BAD AND THE CAR SHOWS REALLY WELL. HOWEVER NEW BUMPERS AND MAYBE DOORHANDLES WOULD REALLY ADD TO THE EYEBALL. ITS THE WORST PART OF THE OUTSIDE. AGAIN ITS NOT BAD . ALSO ALL THE BED TRIM IS ON IT. ITS NOT MISSING PARTS ETC. THE BUMPERS ARENT ALL DINGED UP JUST THE CHROME IS TIRED IS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY.
RADIATOR IS A BIG BLOCK RADIATOR. ROCK SOLID 190 I DONT CARE HOW HOT OUT IT IS. BATTERY IS NEWER. ALL THE HOSES AND ALL THOSE TYPE ITEMS ARE GOOD.
TIRES AND WHEELS NEW COKER REPROS. RED LINE BIAS PLY. EXPENSIVE BUT IT MADE THE CAR REALLY POP AND ADDS THE CORRECT PEROID LOOK. EMBLEMS I ADDED ARE NEW.
WHY AM SELLING IT? A: TO MAKE A PROFIT IF IM NOT CAREFUL AND GO ON THE "HUNT" AGAIN .
I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT HERES THE DEAL...ITS A GOOD CAR. WE GET ALOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON THE CAR. IT HAS REALLY GOOD STANCE AND EYEBALL. PLUS IT RUNS GOOD AND HAS BEEN DEPENDABLE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. A PERFECT ENTRY LEVEL OLD CAR FOR MAYBE A YOUNGER GUY TO PLAY WITH AND LEARN. EASY TO WORK ON. PEOPLE PASS UP EXPENSIVE HOTRODS AT THE CRUISE AND STOP AT OUR CAR. ITS CRAZY BUT IT HAPPENS . AGAIN....ITS A DRIVER / LOCAL CAR SHOW VEHICLE. ITS NOT A TURD, ITS NOT A PEBBLE BEACH ENTRY. CHECK MY FEEDBACK. EVERY CAR IVE SOLD THE PEOPLE WERE HAPPY CAMPERS. THAT BEING SAID, IM NOT GUARANTEEING IT PAST MY DRIVEWAY. ID LET MY LOVED ONES DRIVE IT . IT HAS GOOD BONES. THATS WHY I BOUGHT IT.
I DO NOT WANT TO TRADE. PLEASE....I WILL HELP YOU ANY WAY I CAN ...BUT I CANT STAND TIRE KICKING BS. MAKE SURE THE WIFE KNOWS, YOU HAVE THE MONEY, ETC BEFORE YOU START IN ON IT. DONT BE "THAT GUY" ITS PRICED RIGHT. WERE NOT UNDER FINANCIAL STRESS (THANK THE LORD) SO PLEASE REFRAIN FROM GOING LOW BALL. I WONT EVEN RESPOND TO IT. I DONT MIND DRIVING IT AROUND FRANKLY.
IF YOU WANT TO SHIP IT THATS FINE . YOURE PAYING FOR IT. I WILL MAKE SURE IT GETS ON A TRUCK SAFELY. THE CAR OR ITS TITLE (WHICH IS IN OUR NAME) ARENT LEAVING HERE UNTIL ITS ALL PAYED FOR AND CLEARED. PERIOD.

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago
Thu, Feb 12 2015It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

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?
Chevrolet Malibu could last until 2024 before joining the dodo
Wed, Jul 31 2019Automotive News pieced together all available intel on the Chevrolet and GMC lineups, trying to ascertain how much life each model might have left. Concerning the Chevrolet Malibu, the answer is not too much, and the historic nameplate's final years don't look like the glory kind. After a major overhaul in 2016 boosted sales for the ninth-generation sedan to 227,881 units, the 2018 sales fell to 144,542, and this year's are down almost 15% through the end of June. The Malibu is one of two Chevrolet sedans still breathing - the other being the Impala for now - but only for about five more years. AN says there'll likely be a refresh in 2022, followed by a visit from the Reaper in 2024. After that, it could be "indirectly replaced" by an electric vehicle, one of the 23 EVs that GM is working on for 2023.   The Impala will meet the ax earlier despite a recent stay of execution. Production is still set to close in January 2020. In the entire GM stable, Cadillac might soon be the only marque with sedans. The Buick LaCrosse has a date with death, and Groupe PSA won't supply Opels-as-Regals forever. The Sonic hatchback should say goodbye at the end of 2020, a year before the seemingly eternal Spark is thought to die. Two years after that, according to one report, the Camaro will go back into cold storage, perhaps forever, and AN says an "expected redesign of the car in 2021 was reportedly canceled." Finally, let's give one final shout-out to the Chevrolet Cruze, a global nameplate, which in the United States alone outsells the Malibu, outsold the Camaro by a factor of three last year, and absolutely trounces the Impala, Sonic, and Spark. Even that couldn't get a stay of execution. In more uplifting news, everything's happening on the crossover and truck side in the next few years. The Chevy Bolt is due for a refresh next year, even though it has "become more important for self-driving ride-hailing fleets that GM Cruise plans to operate than for consumers." In 2021, the Bolt-based crossover should bow, first in China, then here. It's said to look like "a mix of the Bolt and Trax" in spy shots. Still waiting for a green light: a possible subcompact GMC crossover called Granite that might make it to market by 2023. The full-sized SUV triplets Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon could show their new faces in 2020. The Silverado might get an updated interior in 2020 or 2021, while the Colorado and Canyon mid-sized pickups won't get attention until perhaps 2023.
