This
Van Nuys-built, rust-free, no hit 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Custom V8 w/original
A/C, P/B, and P/S was owned by an elderly piano teacher in Texas who owned it
and drove it sparingly for forty years.
I acquired it three years ago from his estate. Originally
a Custom 350ci/TH350, the engine block had been replaced at some point but
otherwise it was very original, rust-free, and in very good condition. With the original engine gone, I had a GM
Mark IV 454, GM stock grind flat tappet cam, new Holley 4bbl, TH400, and 12
bolt rear end w/3.31 highway gears professionally installed and completely
restored the rest of the car inside and out.
The undercarriage is rust-free and untouched (except for painting the
outer frame rails for aesthetics). Professionally
repainted in the original astro blue (GM code 25), interior converted from blue
to black, dash refurbished w/OEM dash pad, new bench seat foam and covers,
complete new suspension (bushings, springs, rear air shocks, hi po sway bars
front and rear), front disc brake conversion,
new power booster and master cylinder, Flowmaster 2.5" exhaust w/H
pipe and chrome tips w/correct GM big block exhaust manifolds, new American
Racing polished aluminum SS style wheels and new BFG RWL tires (235/60/15 front
and 255/60/15 rear). All stainless is original and in very good condition. I did not reinstall the wheel opening trim because in my opinion the body looks cleaner without it. The original wheel opening trim (rears unmarked and fronts with minor dings) goes with the car. New
carpet; Holley 4bbl carb; in-dash OEM style tach; battery, cables and cut-off
switch; Goodmark cowl induction hood, emblems, pins and lanyards; HD four core radiator, 7
blade fan, severe duty fan clutch, and added coolant reservoir (she runs cool in any weather), weatherstripping;
Autosound digital OEM style AM/FM/Aux radio (original AM Delco radio goes with
the car). All A/C equipment is original,
new hoses, and is functional but needs a recharge. GM space saver spare installed in the cabin for more space and lighter weight;
the jack is original. All stainless is
original and in very good condition. I
did not refinish the bed because I use this as a parts hauler and left it as I
got it. Were I to keep this El Camino, I
would Linex or Rhino line the bed for utility purposes. This
El Camino has approx 400 break-in miles and runs flawlessly. She idles all day long at 650 rpm and runs
w/highway traffic at 65 mph tacking approx. 2500 rpm. I would not hesitate to drive her any
distance. I am reluctantly selling this
El Camino due to lack of space given two ongoing 1966 Corvette restorations.
I have easily $30,000 in this El
Camino. California tags paid through
August, 2014. If
you have any questions, call Jim at 818.429.0188 What

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show
Fri, Aug 26 2016Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

Chevy Colorado gets box delete option designed for upfitters
Fri, Mar 6 2015The Colorado, which marks the return of Chevrolet to the midsize truck segment, is receiving critical praise, and now it's time for the pickup to get to work. At the National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, Chevy is unveiling a box delete option package for the model that allows businesses to custom tailor the Colorado to their needs. The choice to remove the bed is exclusively available on the Colorado Work Truck trim in the rear-wheel drive, extended cab model with a 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic gearbox, and Chevy claims this is the only option of its type in the segment. Beyond the obvious loss of the rear, these trucks feature eight mounting points on the frame for upfitters to install any necessary modifications. They also get the Z82 trailering package and a locking differential. The versions with the box delete package carry a payload rating of 2,200 pounds an a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,001 pounds. "It's ideal for utility companies requiring service bodies, as well as landscapers and other businesses needing the utility of a flatbed," Ed Peper, US Vice President for General Motors Fleet and Commerical, said in the option's announcement. Further options with the package are limited to choosing a repositioned fuel filler for the upfitter to install and deleting the rear seat for extra interior capacity. The box delete becomes available in mid-April, and buyers get a $300 credit off the price of the Colorado when it's selected. Colorado 'Box Delete' Expands Options for Businesses Chevrolet package offers unique midsize pickup platform for alternative uses 2015-03-04 INDIANAPOLIS – With a box delete option, business owners and fleet managers can have it their way when it comes to customizing the back end of the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Chevrolet today announced availability of the package in mid-April. It is on display this week at the annual National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. It is the only such option offered in the midsize truck segment. "With the segment-leading efficiency and maneuverable size, the Colorado makes a great, flexible choice for urban businesses and fleets to make the most of a midsize truck," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet & Commercial.
GM recalls 64k 2011-2013 Volts over carbon monoxide fears, stop sale on Trax and Encore
Thu, Mar 12 2015General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts from the 2011-2013 model years in the US and an additional 13,937 exported examples because of fears over carbon monoxide buildup. According to a statement, if a Volt is accidentally left on while running on electric power, its internal combustion engine would eventually kick on to charge on the battery. If this happens in an enclosed space, then carbon monoxide can fill the area, leading to a potential exposure to the dangerous gas. According to GM, there have been two injuries reported due to this issue. To fix the problem, there's a software update to limit the time the vehicle can idle. According to Automotive News, GM is also issuing a stop sale on about 2,300 examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore. In these compact crossovers, it's possible that the steering column assembly could touch the power steering circuit board and cause damage over time. This could potentially cause the system to stop working. Automotive News indicates that the automaker is still working with the supplier to get the necessary parts to repair this problem. General Motors is recalling 50,249 Chevrolet Volts in the U.S. from the 2011-2013 model years to implement a software update that will limit the amount of time a vehicle can be left idling in the "on" or "run" position. If a driver exits the vehicle and inadvertently leaves the vehicle "on" by failing to react to cues and warning chimes emitted by the vehicle, the vehicle's high-voltage battery will drain after a period of time and the gasoline engine will begin to run. If the gas engine runs for a long period of time within an enclosed space, such as a garage, carbon monoxide could build up. GM is aware of two injuries, both related to carbon monoxide build up. The total recall population including Canada and exports is 64,186. Related Video:
