1976 El Camino SS History of the Fourth generation El Camino (1973–1977) (from Wikipedia) For 1973, the El Camino was redesigned. Matching the Chevelle line and using the wagon chassis, it was the largest El Camino generation. Energy-absorbing hydraulic front bumper systems created an ungainly appearance on these vehicles and added more weight. There were two different trim levels of El Caminos during this period. The base model and SS option shared interior and exterior appointments with the Chevelle Malibu, while the El Camino Classic (introduced for 1974) shared its trim with the more upscale Chevelle Malibu Classic. The chassis design was as new as the bodies with 1-inch (25 mm) a wider wheel track, front and rear. The left wheel was adjusted to have slightly more positive camber than the right, which resulted in a more uniform and stable steering feel on high-crown road surfaces while maintaining excellent freeway cruise stability. Clearances for spring travel were also improved for a smoother ride over all types of surfaces; the coil springs at each wheel were computer-selected to match the individual car's weight. Front disc brakes were now standard on all '73 El Caminos. Additional new features were an acoustical double-panel roof, tighter-fitting glass, flush-style outside door handles, molded full-foam seat construction, flow-through power ventilation system, inside hood release, refined Delco generator and sealed side-terminal battery, a larger 22-US-gallon fuel tank, and "flush and dry" rocker panels introduced first on the redesigned 1971 full-size Chevrolets. New options included swivel bucket seats (with console) and Turbine I urethane (backed by steel) wheels, as was the instrument gauge cluster. A benefit of the new body designs was much better visibility of which the unusually thin windshield pillars contributed. A structural improvement was a stronger design for the side door guard beams. The 307 2-barrel V8 of 115 hp was the base engine. Options included a 350 2-barrel V8 of 145 hp, a 350 4-barrel V8 of 175 hp, and a 454 4-barrel V8 rated at 245 hp. Hardened engine valve seats and hydraulic camshafts made these engines reliable for many miles, and allowed them to accept the increasingly popular unleaded regular gasoline. The three-speed manual transmission was standard; 4-speed manual and Turbo Hydra-Matic 3-speed automatic transmissions were optional. Crossflow radiators and coolant reservoirs prevented overheating. The SS, now a trim option, included a black grill with SS emblem, bodyside striping, bright roof drip moldings, color-keyed dual sport mirrors, special front and rear stabilizer bars, rally wheels, 70-series raised white-lettered tires, special instrumentation and SS interior emblems. The SS option was available with a 350 or 454 V8 with the 4-speed or Turbo Hydra-Matic transmissions. The 1974 El Caminos sported an elongated, Mercedes-type grille. Inside, the new top-of-the-line El Camino Classic featured luxurious interiors with notchback bench seats (or optional Strato bucket seats) upholstered in cloth or vinyl, carpeted door panels and woodgrain instrument panel trim. The 350 V8 became the base engine and a 400 V8 engine was new this year. The 454, the top engine, was available with the Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 automatic or 4-speed manual transmission. The 1975 models featured a new grill, providing a fresh appearance. Suspension upgrades offered a quieter ride, and radial-ply tires became standard. Dual remote mirrors, new twin sport mirrors, intermittent wipers, and cruise control were among new convenience features this year. The 1975 high energy ignition (HEI) provided spark to the spark plugs with minimal maintenance and increased power. The larger distributor cap also provided better high-RPM performance by decreasing the likelihood of the spark conducting to the wrong terminal. The 250-cubic-inch in-line six of 105 hp (78 kW) was offered as the base engine. The 454-cubic-inch V8, downrated yet again to 215 horsepower (160 kW), made it into 1975 as an El Camino option, but this would be its last go-around. It was not available in California, and the optional four-speed stick was no longer offered. Buyers could now choose an Econominder instrument package that included a vacuum gauge to point out when optimum fuel economy was being attained. For 1976, El Camino Classic models now featured the new rectangular headlights that other high-end GM cars were sporting. These were quad units in stacked arrangement. The base model retained the previously used dual round headlights. Engines included the base 250 I6 engine, a new 140-horsepower 305-cubic-inch V8, two- and four-barrel 350s (with availability still depending on California delivery), and the 400-cubic-inch V8, still good for 175 hp. All engines except the 250 I6 came with the Turbo Hydra-matic automatic transmission as the only transmission available. The 250 I6 came with a 3-speed manual or an optional Turbo Hydra-matic. The 1977 models were little changed, except the 400 V8 was gone. The El Camino Classic was again the top model and the SS option continued. This particular 1976 El Camino: I bought this car back in 2012 because of my love for the El Camino. I have owned several 5th generation El Caminos, but never a 4th generation one. I bought the car and drover it some ,but wanted it to “pop”, so I decide to repaint it. Well, you know what happens when a project starts out simple. It turns into a much bigger project. Once the exterior was looking good, I decided to do something about the factory interior. It was looking a little long in the tooth, so I added a little custom flair to it. The mods I did were subtle and I think really make the car a joy to own and drive. Unfortunately, the time has come to move on to my next project, and this little sweetheart must go. I am sure you will really enjoy the car as much as I have. 1. The Exhaust system was replaced in 2012 right before I bought the car. 2. The engine starts easy and runs great. I have had no issues with overheating or poor running the entire time I have owned the car. 3. It has a custom air cleaner and headers, but the rest of the engine appears to be stock and is the original motor for the car. 4. The A/C belt has been removed from the motor, but the complete A/C system is still in the car, and appears to be untouched. I didn’t have any R-12 and wasn’t interested in converting the system to R-134a, so I left it alone. 5. The transmission shifts great. It goes into gear quickly and drives great. There are no issues here. 6. There is no noise from the rear-end, and the car drives great. 7. The body has no visible rust and the frame has no visible damage. I went over the car when I bought it and it looks t obe a very solid car, otherwise I would not have bought it. Below is a list of the recent upgrades completed on this beauty: 1. New Paint and SS Stripes were done in June, 2013 a. Dark Metallic Blue b. Color Matched Front and Rear Bumpers c. New Front Parking Lights d. New Side Marker Lights e. New Tail Light Housings and Lenses f. New Bumper Fillers g. New Bed-liner coating h. New Door Weather Stripping i. New Door Hinge Pins & Bushings j. New Door Handles, Cranks, Window Regulators k. New Hood Hinges l. All Trim was Painted Flat Black to emphasize the SS trim 2. True 1972 dated Corvette Rallye wheels were added to the car in June, 2013 a. Corvette center caps and beauty rings b. BF Goodrich Tires – New on front and less than 50% tread on rear 3. New Interior was done in July, 2013 a. New Carpet b. New Headliner c. New Grant Steering Wheel d. New Leather Seats from a 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible i. Driver Seat is Power ii. Seatbelts Integrated in Seat e. New Custom Console with extra-large cup holders and storage f. New Dash Cover g. New Gages i. Oil ii. Fuel iii. Volt iv. Water h. Original interior panels were professionally dyed to match new pieces 4. Drivetrain was Serviced in June, 2013 a. New Belts b. New Hoses c. New Alternator d. New Battery e. Fluids Changed (oil, water, transmission fluid) f. New Filters (air, oil, transmission) g. Brake system inspected and passed inspection 5. New front steering components and alignment was done in August 2013 a. Tie Rods b. Pitman arm c. Ball Joints d. Center Drag Link e. Idler Arm 6. New Chrome exhaust tips added in September, 2013 I am sure I have left out several things about the car. The pictures show the level of quality the restoration was taken to. Please be sure to closely examine them and contact me with any questions you may have about the car. I have a truck and trailer and I will deliver the car to the new owner anywhere in the lower 48 states. The first 250 miles are free. After that, I will charge $1,50 per loaded mile. I do have other work, so please give me a few days to schedule the delivery after the auction ends. Please see the auction details about payment and additional shipping information. Please contact me before bidding if you have a feedback score less than 3 or your bid will be canceled. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. This vehicle is sold as is where is with no warranty written or inplied. Good Luck!

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
Here are all the EVs with 800V charging available in 2024
Fri, May 31 2024As technology advances, electric cars are improving their fast-charging times. That means less time spent waiting at a DC public charger when you’re out on the road. While Level 3 chargers used to provide a maximum of 150 kilowatts of power, 350-kW chargers are become more common, making for super-fast charging Â… if your car is capable of taking advantage of it. So how do automakers improve the charging speed of their EV batteries? Some are turning to higher voltage, specifically 800V charging. What's the difference between 800-volt charging and 400-volt charging? So how does 800V charging improve upon the more common 400V EVs? Put simply, the higher the voltage, the less amperage (current) it requires to charge. In other words, with more voltage, you get more wattage (power, aka charge rate) from the same amperage (current). 800V architecture is also more efficient, with less electrical resistance, so it can use thinner cables and smaller, lighter components while needing less cooling. The tradeoff is that it is more costly, and guess who that cost gets passed on to. While automakers don't break down their pricing to show how much more you're paying for that 800V system, you'll just have to evaluate any potential purchases as a whole, and make your decision based on overall pricing of the vehicle. Thankfully, the 800V EVs on sale now are generally ones we like. Now, 800V charging capability doesn't necessarily mean an EV has 800V vehicle architecture. For instance, the GMC Hummer EV and Chevy Silverado EV operate at 400V, but with their dual battery packs, can switch to 800V when charging by temporarily connecting those packs in series. Currently, there are only a handful of EVs available with 800V charging. But if you are going to find yourself taking longer trips in your EV and using DC fast chargers more often, you might want to consider choosing one with this faster charging capability. With that in mind, these are the EVs available with 800V charging, either on sale now or coming in 2024. 800-volt EVs available in 2024 Audi E-Tron GT Chevrolet Silverado EV Genesis GV60 Genesis Electrified G80 Genesis Electrified GV70 GMC Hummer EV Pickup GMC Hummer EV SUV GMC Sierra EV* Hyundai Ioniq 5 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Kia EV6 Kia EV9 Lotus Eletre* Lotus Emeya* Lucid Air Lucid Gravity* Porsche Macan Electric* Porsche Taycan Ram 1500 REV* Tesla Cybertruck *Coming later in 2024 Green Audi Chevrolet Genesis GMC Hyundai Kia Lotus Porsche Tesla Electric Lucid EV charging
