This 1979 El Camino Royal Knight runs and drives outstanding. It has a 5.0L V8 (305 cid), 3-speed automatic transmission, power steering with tilt, power brakes with factory disc in front, and an AM/FM/Cassette player. Recent re-upholstery includes the seat, headliner, and sun visors. The paint is fairly recent from Macco, although there is some paint damage behind the left rear wheel opening from a tire failure, which led to the recent purchase of a set of tires. Though you cannot see it from the pictures, the truck has fresh tags and smog. There is some cracking of the dash from the sun, after all, this truck is at least 34 years old and it is a safe bet that it spent most of those years parked in the sun. Everything under the hood is original-equipment stock. Also included is one of the original build sheets for this truck. I cannot decipher the manufacturing/assembly date code, but this truck came from the Fremont, California plant destined for the Chevy dealer in Vancouver, Washington.
This truck is located in Chino, California, which is about 35 miles east of Los Angeles on Hwy 60. Buyer to pick up and arrange all transportation needs. Winning bidder to pay $500.00 deposit through Paypal and balance when picking up vehicle.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
