1969 EL CAMINO SS396. ORIGINAL MOTOR IS LONG GONE AND HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A 454. TURBO 400 THAT SHIFTS GREAT AND A 12 BOLT REAR END. CAR WAS RESTORED ABOUT 18 YEARS AGO AND STILL LOOKS GREAT. 7000 MILES SINCE RESTORATION IN 1995. POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND A/C. COMPRESSOR IS CURRENTLY CYCLING SO IT PROBABLY HAS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. PAINT AND BODY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE OR EVEN DOOR DINGS. A COUPLE OF MINOR SCRATCHES BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK TO FIND THEM. BODY IS SUPER STRAIGHT WITH NO RUST FORMING OR STARTING ANYWHERE. WAS A ORIGINALLY FROST GREEN TOP AND BOTTOM BUT IS PAINTED GARNET RED. INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BUT THE CARPET HAS FADED OVER THE YEARS. COULD BE DYED BACK TO BLACK AS IT IS IN XLNT CONDITION. AM/FM STEREO HAS REPLACED ORIGINAL BUT THE INSTALL IS CLEAN AND THE HOLE IS ORIGINAL AND NOT DAMAGED. ALL GAGES WORK INCLUDING TACH WHICH YELLOW LINES AT 5400. NO RUST IN THE FLOOR PANS. SOME RUST FORMING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SMUGGLERS BOX IN THE BED. CHROME IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH NO DINGS OR RUST ON THE BUMPERS. NO RUST ON LOWER FENDERS, QUARTERS OR WHEEL RADIUS`. CORRECT 14" SS RIMS WITH 225/70/14 RADIAL T/AS. THIS CAR IS BEAUTIFUL AND RUNS GREAT NEEDING NOTHING EXCEPT A NEW OWNER THAT WILL CONTINUE TO CARE FOR IT.

EVERYBODY SAYS THEIR CAR IS A SHOW WINNER AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM ARE LOCAL PODUNK SHOWS WHERE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP. I WONT MAKE THAT CLAIM BUT IT IS VERY NICE AND WOULD TAKE ITS CLASS AT YOUR LOCAL SHOW MOST LIKELY.

IS IT REAL? DON`T KNOW FOR SURE. IT WAS A FREMONT CA. BUILD SO NO KC "L" ON THE TAG. IT`S BADGED CORRECTLY WHICH MEANS NOTHING. IT IS A 12 BOLT AND A TURBO 400 WHICH IS CORRECT FOR SOME. 5400 YELLOW TACH. IF ITS A TRIBUTE, ITS A NICELY DONE ONE AND I DON`T KNOW THAT ANYONE CAN PROVE ITS NOT REAL. I DID ALL MY HOMEWORK PRIOR TO BUYING IT AND IT ALL POINTS TO REAL BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS NO 100% WAY TO BE SURE WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL BLOCK. THE GUY I PURCHASED IT FROM GOT IT OUT OF CA. AND IT WAS SOLD TO HIM AS A REAL SS AND HE ALSO DID HIS HOMEWORK BACK IN 1996.

ALL THIS BEING SAID, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL, STRAIGHT, EXCELLENT DRIVING AND STOPPING EL CAMINO THAT I WOULD DRIVE ANYWHERE, PLUS ITS A BIG BLOCK WITH A/C. NEEDS NOTHING.

$200 DEPOSIT DUE IMMEDIATELY VIA PAYPAL WITH THE BALANCE DUE IN 3 DAYS. CAR CAN REMAIN HERE FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT WILL BE IN MY GARAGE, NOT OUTSIDE. I WILL NOT SHIP BUT I WILL HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN. SHIPPING IS THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
