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.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
