 THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!     Up for bids is a 1973 Chevrolet Elcamino. This is a running driving project car or just check it over and drive it as is. This Elcamino has what I think is a H.O. 305 engine, I haven't run any numbers so im just going by what the previous owner told me. The engine sounds and runs good, the carburetor may need a little adjusting as it seems to be a bit rich especially when it warms up. It looks to be a fairly new Edelbrock carb. The trans is an automatic and it shifts good. Theres no smoke or strange noises coming from the engine, sound good. The car has had some new parts just recently put on the front suspension. Theres some of the ball joints replaced, tie rod end etc. and it has new front brake pads. The rear brakes are very good also.The car drives really nice for a 73 model since all the worn parts have been installed. The wheels are fair condition with some rust spots starting on them. The rears are very wide as they have 50 series tires on them. I think they have the wrong lug nuts on the wheels because they just don't seem to fit right, think maybe there unilug wheels with regular lug nuts on part of them. Some of them seem ok. The rear tires are worn out, the fronts have tread but not matched. The exhaust on this car is pretty loud, it has headers with header mufflers but no tail pipes. Its loud but sounds good. The interior of this Elcamino needs some work but is useable as it is if you want to go that route. Some of the interior trim is missing like the package shelf and the lower back corner pieces. The shoulder belts are still there but the seat belts are missing. It has a hard shell dash cover on it which is in good condition. There is an aftermarket gauge panel mounted on the dash, think theres a pic of that. The seat has a nice cover on it but the seat is torn up underneath it. There is new black carpet that was just recently installed. The door panels are driver quality although somebody cut holes in the upper part to install speakers but they have been taken out. The lower metal part of the dash looks to be a green color but that would be easy to change, theres not much of it showing. The body on this Elcamino is pretty decent for the model. It has been painted flat black with a red stripe and gloss black stripes on the hood. Underneath this car is super solid as most of them are completely rusted away on a car this old. The bed floor, bed cross members and all the sheet metal underneath is some of the best ive seen on these cars. The floor boards have been repaired with sheetmetal and they did a very nice job on them. There are a couple pics of them before the carpet was installed. They were also painted before putting in the carpet so they will last a long time. The body has some small dents and dings but there seems to be very little rust. There is some filler work on the flat part of the wheel lip on the rear wheel opening for some reason, don't think its rust but maybe just where they started finishing it off, not sure. The bed floor is good as is the tailgate. Bumpers are driver quality but need rechromed for them to be nice. The front bumper filler panels are missing. Theres no chrome for the bed but the rear window chrome is there, just needs new clips to install it. The Elcamino has new door weather stripping on both doors and also the window wipes are new, these parts alone cost quite a bit of money. The doors are pretty solid with some light rust starting on the bottom but don't think theres any holes. The paint as I said is flat black, it looks decent but a nice shiny paint job would do wonders for this car but maybe youre ito the stealth thing and the flat is right for you. Also, just remembered the hood has a dent right in the middle of it but theres no brace underneath it there so it can be worked out. This is a decent old car guys but its far from new. It is a great car to do a little work on and use as a daily driver or go all out with a restoration. It does need a few minor things and also to be checked out before being road worthy, therefore I recommend you trailer or tow it to your place but that's up to you. I have run it out the road a few times but its not licensed or insured so that's all I could do. Also no idea of the actual mileage, cant say for sure the speedo works as I forgot to check it. That's about all I know to tell you so email me with your questions. Remember this is a running driving project car so very little work and youre good to go. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all good. You don't get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people so rest assure you dealing with an honest ebayer, I tell it like it is. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must email me before bidding to assure me you will go through with the deal should you be the winning bidder. If you do not I will cancel your bid. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this great Elcamino. This car has a clean and clear VA title ready to go.  REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!!

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.

GM threatens predatory dealers with order cancellations, non-transferrable warranties

Fri, Jul 29 2022

General Motors will launch a second salvo against misbehaving dealerships next week with a new set of policies aimed at curbing predatory markup strategies. With the new Chevrolet Corvette Z06, GMC Hummer EV SUV and Cadillac Escalade-V about to head into production, GM is putting its foot down yet again. Dealers that attempt to circumvent GM's markup restrictions by dealing directly with brokers or other resellers could find themselves in a particularly nasty spot, as the company is threatening to withhold future allocations and end the transferability of warranties when dealers facilitate the reselling of vehicles within 12 months.  While this may help curb some dealership chicanery, it's possible the real loser in such a deal could end up being the customer who unwittingly ends up with an un-warrantied vehicle. We suspect GM has accounted for that, but we'll have to wait until next week to find out exactly how these new policies will be enforced.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
