1972 El Camino Custom No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars
Lanett, Alabama, United States
|
For sale is a 1972 Chevrolet El
Camino Custom. It runs and drives/breaks great, and I’ve gone through periods where I
used it as a primary means of transportation. It sure is an attention getter—I can’t
even go to the grocery store or gym without several people standing around it
as I go to leave, asking questions, etc. I’ll miss it deeply for that reason
alone. The pics were taken outside, but
it has been garage kept since day 1. It’s not perfect. The belt sometimes
squeals on start up, but it starts right up, runs and drives great. It’s got a
few scratches, cracks, rust, dings etc. but nothing big or very noticeable. The
dash seems to be missing some fasteners where the gauge cluster attaches. All
the gauges work except for the oil lamp. No A/C or radio installed. While the
headlights/taillights and blinkers work perfectly, the lights in the dash
(blinker indicators, bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night, etc.) work but
not consistently. The previous owner had pulled the A/C control panel out for
some reason—I suppose to replace it (as you can see it sits on the column in
the pictures above). Headliner’s in great shape. One of
the seats is in great shape while the other isn’t—thus I put the seat covers on
both. It has the SS style dash (round gauges) and floor shifter (Hurst V-Matic
2) which I love. Windshield wipers work. Wheels are in good shape. Lots of
work done (on the suspension specifically) which I’ve attached pictures of the
receipts to account for. Model: L48, 350 CID, 4-bbl Engine: 350 4 bolt main—casting #
3970014. Engine ID Code: V0319TJA; Flint,

Assembly Rear Axle: CKD 0507B2, 2.73:1 –
12 Bolt (L48/350-4); Buffalo, NY Assembly Never had access to a lift in
order to identify the transmission type as the only way I know to do that is
via the pan shape. |

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
