1969 Chevrolet El Camino for restoration. Car was originally dover white with a black bench seat interior. It now has bucket seats.
The Good
Car runs drives and stops. I have moved it around in my driveway but have not driven the car on the road because the tires are in poor shape.
350 engine runs well, starts right up and does not smoke. Looks clean inside by looking thru the oil fill cap. Oil was just changed. Could use a little tune up and adjusting to run perfect as it was sitting for a while. Has HEI distributor and quadrajet 4 barrel carb. No exhaust, open headers. Has the big radiator in it and the belts and hoses are in good shape. Power steering works very well.
350 block is an 010 casting
Power Drum Brakes
350 Turbo Trans engages reverse and drive fine. Fluid looks clean.
10 Bolt rear end, I do not know what gears or if it is a posi or not. It does have new rear upper control arms and new rear boxed lower control arms.
New fuel tank installed.
SS hood in good shape
Roof panels are solid
Bucket seats
All glass is good with the exception of the windshield
Front steel inner fenders in good shape.
The Bad
I tried to take photos of the rusted areas as best as I could. The car will need both quarters, floor pans, drivers rocker patched, drivers door patched, rear outer wheel houses, inner rear wheel houses may be able to be patched, drivers front fender patched, passenger fender patched or replaced, small area on cowl by body tag has a few pin holes, bed floor patched, front frame patched at steering box and idler arm area.
Brake work in the drive way but will need gone over before driving on the road.
The car does come with a new passenger quarter and passenger quarter patch panel. I have the original passenger door that has good glass and regulators in it. The passenger door on the car is pretty solid.
Drivers door opens and closes fine on both sides, passenger door opens fine from the inside, does not open from the outside. It does rub the front fender when opening and needs adjusted.
The car would be a great project to restore or turn into a rat rod with some work. Car will be sold as is with no warranties and has been described to the best of my knowledge. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. Please call to make an appointment to view the car prior to bidding. Please ask for more pictures of certain areas prior to bidding. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine
Tue, Oct 28 2014As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.
Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application
Fri, Dec 26 2014In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.

GM’s move to Woodward is the right one — for the company and for Detroit
Wed, May 1 2024Back in 2018, Chevy invited me to attend the Detroit Auto Show on the company dime to get an early preview of the then-newly redesigned Silverado. The trip involved a stay at the Renaissance Center — just a quick People Mover ride from the show. IÂ’d been visiting Detroit in January for nearly a decade, and not once had I set foot inside General MotorsÂ’ glass-sided headquarters. I was intrigued, to say the least. Thinking back on my time in the buildings that GM will leave behind when it departs for the new Hudson's site on Woodward Avenue, two things struck me. For one, its hotel rooms are cold in January. Sure, itÂ’s glass towers designed in the 1960s and '70s; I calibrated my expectations accordingly. But when I could only barely see out of the place for all the ice forming on the inside of the glass, it drove home just how flawed this iconic structure is. My second and more pertinent observation was that the RenCen doesnÂ’t really feel like itÂ’s in a city at all, much less one as populous as Detroit. The complex is effectively severed from its surroundings by swirling ribbons of both river and asphalt. To the west sits the Windsor tunnel entrance; to the east, parking lots for nearly as far as the eye can see. To its north is the massive Jefferson Avenue and to its south, the Detroit River. You get the sense that if Henry Ford II and his team of investors had gotten their way, the whole thing would have been built offshore with the swirling channel doubling as a moat. This isnÂ’t a building the draws the city in; itÂ’s one designed to keep it out. Frost on the inside of the RenCen hotel glass. Contrasted with the new Hudson's project GM intends to move into, a mixed-use anchor with residential, office, retail and entertainment offerings smack-dab in Detroit's most vibrant district, the RenCen is a symbol of an era when each office in DetroitÂ’s downtown was an island in a rising sea of dilapidation. Back then, those who fortified against the rapid erosion of DetroitÂ’s urban bedrock stood the best chance of surviving. This was the era that brought us ugly skyways and eventually the People Mover — anything to help suburban commuters keep their metaphorical feet dry. The RenCen offered — and still offers — virtually any necessity and plenty of nice-to-haves, all accessible without ever venturing outside, especially in the winter, but those enticements are geared to those who trek in from suburbia to toil in its hallways.
