Spokane, Washington, United States
|
This car has lived a very pampered life. about 20 years ago a man from Southern Oregon went searching for an El Camino for his wife. He set out to find the perfect car and ran across a gentleman from Northern California wine country. He had a 1970 with factory A/C that he had purchased for his wife to run parts and supplies back and forth from town to the winery. He purchased the car and took it back to Oregon where he took it apart and rebuilt it for his wife. Over the years the car started to show wear and tear of every day use, so he parked the car and found another El Camino and rebuilt that one. I purchased the 1970 and drove it to Spokane where I re-freshened his restoration. New paint, suspension, carburetor, engine tune, brakes, bed liner, interior detail. I repaired the cowl induction hood and some electrical problems. I don't know the exact mileage on the vehicle but the car has about 60,000 miles since the original restoration. Roy told me that when he was doing the original restoration he had rebuilt the motor and transmission. When I serviced the transmission and adjusted the valves I agree the car shows very little wear in the motor, transmission, or undercarriage. I didn't see any signs of rust or bondo in the car.When I took the suspension apart the parts showed age but were not worn out. All the sheet metal line up properly. I do not believe this is an original SS car but the badge on the grill and the cowl induction hood were there when I purchased the car. This car runs wonderful and drives better than expected for it's age. Roy couldn't remember the size of cam he put in the original rebuild but the car has a little lope plenty of power and a great sound. Call Rick for more information 509-290-2441.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
