I purchased this car in the Washington desert outside of Yakima. It was original paint and exceptionally straight. I purchased it to make a white Choo Choo because I always wanted a white one and could never find one good enough. So $25000 later here it is. I have owned 4 Choo Choo El Caminos and know these cars well. I never liked the cheap hood scoops so I put a steel cowl hood on this one. The motor was great but I had a 50000 mile Cutlass with a 305 that I sacrificed just to have the best. I never went to a 350 because I have a heavy foot and not much self control. It is all stock with the exception of the air cleaner that fits in the cowl hood.

It has all new shocks and springs purchased new and are SS Monte.I had it in the body shop for a year. They stripped it to bare metal, removed the doors and front end and took out the windows. All the rubbers are new plus the window felts. The old windshield was replaced with a new one only because I thought it would be nice.  All the exhaust is new plus I put every thing new on the engine when we changed it . Also all new seals and gaskets in the tranny. all the brakes including drums, rotors and calipers are also new. This car is really probably better than new.  I also put in am am fm cd player with with mp3 plug. This should be a steal for somebody at $12500 US.  Please don't waste my time if you are not serious because I feel bad enoughgiving this thing away.

PS: Also, the wheels are 18" Irocs with Firestone Firehawks. Car drives better than new. Air is ice cold. Exhaust sounds great, most people think it is a big block or a hyped up 350. It really sounds awesome.

Will Chevy Bolt get Opel badge in Europe?

Sat, Mar 7 2015

General Motors' European plug-in vehicle name may go from A to B. That's because the Chevrolet Bolt could be sold under GM's Opel brand across the Pond, Automotive News Europe says, citing people familiar with the process that it declined to identify. The Ampera, the European version of the Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle, is being phased out due to poor sales. While the Ampera won the European Car of the Year in 2012, its sales have trended well below expectations. That the Bolt would be sold as an Opel hints to us that GM expects to distribute the electric vehicle in far smaller numbers than in the US. The Bolt, which was introduced in January in its concept version at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, will have a single-charge range of about 200 miles. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGeen on Friday afternoon. The car will also have a price tag in the US of about $30,000, factoring in federal-government tax incentives. That's if those tax incentives are still around in 2017, when the Bolt is expected to debut stateside.

Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
