I own a restoration shop and this is a car I built twelve years ago and I am selling for my customer. When we got the car we had it media blasted. There was not a bit of rust as it has been a California car all its life. My customer is the third owner and has it for 17 years. Overall it is almost as nice as when we built it is 2002. It has 17,600 miles on it since then. We installed all the SS options as the car was a standard Chevrolet El Camino. I will detail the car below..... Engine.. It is a Chevrolet crate motor. 454 roller with a 1000 cfm fuel injection from Holly. Sanderson coated cast iron headers through a 2 1/2 inch exhaust. HEI ignition and serpentine belt system. The car has lots of power and runs great but the injection system is touchy at idle. I would replace it with a Holly 750 carburetor. I think it would run smoother and have a better idle. It does not smoke or leak and has never been abused. This was a brand new Generation VI 425 horse motor. Transmission.. It was a pro built 700 R4 with a 1800 rpm stall converter. Built to stand up to 500 horsepower. It has always worked perfectly. Shifts hard and tight. Rear end is a 3.73 12 bolt positraction. It was completely gone through at the time of the build. Body.. As I said earlier, it has always been in California so when we stripped it to bare metal there were some minor dents and dings to repair but no rust. It was painted with two stage Dupont. Base coat and clear coat. It still shines great and other than a couple of very minor scratches still looks as good as it did when we built it twelve years ago. The inner fender wells and core support were powder coated. Interior.. It is showing the usual wear on the seats and the carpeting is a little faded but everything else is real nice. Door panels, headliner, dash are great. It was a factory A/C and we added the tilt wheel, rally gauges and tachometer power windows and soft ray tinted glass along with the SS bucket seats and console. Overall a real nice, clean driver. With the 3.73 rear end and overdrive transmission the car is fast and still cruises beautifully down the highway. At 75 mph the rpm is about 2100. Nice. The fit and finish of the body is great. No rattles and everything fits well. All the chrome was new when the car was built and still looks great. New tires and the vinyl top were new last year. All the suspension was rebuilt in 2002. Ball joints and control arm bushings, tie rods, everything. It drives great. If want to see the car I am about 15 miles east of Sacramento off HWY 80. If you have any questions or need more photos, please call Bruce weekdays at 916-652-6852. Thank you.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China
Mon, Nov 7 2016Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

Chevy Corvette Z06, Ford F-150 Raptor join Lego Speed Champs
Tue, Oct 20 2015Get ready to park some performance machines on your desk: Lego's 2016 line of Speed Champions kits will add seven new vehicles for next year, according to an update to the database Brickset. These include some serious muscle like a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and Ford Mustang GT. There's also a listing called "Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race" and a very cool combo titled "Ford F-150 Raptor Ford/Model A Hot Rod". Fans of European performance don't need to be jealous, though. The database shows a kit called "Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane." Plus for fans of the Four Rings, the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro and R8 LMS Ultra are also getting their own Lego models. Fourtitude appears to have some leaked shots, if you want to see what these kits will look like. Lego has partnered with Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari and offers Speed Champions kits for vehicles like the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1, Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, and LaFerrari. The models in the series aren't as heavily detailed as the massive Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Bus sets, but they make up for that in value. The individual cars retail for a fairly affordable $14.99. The Formula One playset tops the current range at $99.99, but it comes with a truck, racecar and team figures.
First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
