THIS IS A 1987 CHEVY EL CAMINO LAST YEAR PRODUCED. IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO PURCHASED IT IN 1986 AND IS FOR SALE. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY IF THE VEHICLE IS SOLD LOCALLY. IT IS VERY SOUND RUNNING CONDITION BUT IS SLIGHTLY BURNING SOME OIL ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SITS FOR FEW WEEKS. AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE PICS IT IS IN NEED OF PAINT AND SOME RESTORATION. THE MAJOR PROBLEMS ARE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED WHEN THE OWNER BACKED OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY AND CAUGHT A CURB, FORTUNATELY THE DOOR WAS WEEK FROM ROTTING AND NO MAJOR DAMAGE WAS DONE AT THE POINT OF THE DOOR HINGES SO I BELIEVE A NEW DOOR COULD BE BOLTED RIGHT UP. THE OLD DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM IS STILL WORKING JUST AS EVERYTHING ELSE ON THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE MAIN AREAS ON THE BODY TO BE CONCERNED ARE THE THREE SPOTS AROUND THE REAR WINDOW THAT ARE ROTTING, THE BUMPER GUARDS ON FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS ARE NOT SALVAGEABLE AND ARE ROTTING BUT THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THE BUMPERS THEMSELVES, THE FRONT HOOD ON THE FORWARD EDGED IS ALSO GOT SOME ROTTING BUT I DO HAVE A SPARE HOOD THAT IS IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAT WOULDN'T NEED AS MUCH WORK, ALSO THE CROSS PIECE UNDER THE HOOD THAT THE RADIATOR IS AGAINST HAS ITS SHARE OF ROTTING BUT IS INTACT AND IS POSSIBLY SALVAGEABLE. THERE IS NO OTHER AREAS OF ROTTING ON THE BODY. I TRIED TO TAKE PICTURES TO BEST DESCRIBE EVERYTHING. THE GLASS AND INTERIOR ARE DECENT NO HOLES OR SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THERE IS A SINGLE CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE DRIVER FLOOR BOARD IS BOWED DOWN LIKE THERE IS FLOOR BOARD PROBLEM BUT I WILL UPDATE THIS LISTING AS I HAVEN'T PULLED THE CARPET BACK TO SURVEY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE CHECKED OUT THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND THERE IS NO SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. I'M NOT SURE BUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT, IT DIDN'T BURN OIL BUT THERE IS SOME SLIGHT BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF EXHAUST WHEN I START IT BUT DOES DISAPPEAR AFTER IT RUNS A BIT, ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED. I HAVE A STACK OF RECEIPTS FROM THIS CAR. IT IS BEING SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY AND NO RETURN SO BE SURE OF WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING, TITLE IS IN HAND AND FREE AND CLEAR. I WILL ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND POST THEM FOR ALL TO SEE. I WILL ONLY ACCEPT A DEPOSIT OF $500.00 THRU PAY PAL. THE BALANCE DUE WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A BANK CHECK, CASH OR MONEY ORDER UPON PICKUP OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT MADE BETWEEN THE BUYER AND ME. IF BALANCE IS PAID BY PAY PAL IT WILL NEGATE AND CANCEL THE TRANSACTION. THE BUYER IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FEES TO PICKUP AND SHIP THIS VEHICLE TO ITS DESTINATION. I WILL ASSIST IN A WAY THAT IS NOT GOING TO COST ME ANY FUNDS. I DO HAVE A FRIEND WITH A LONG DISTANCE VEHICLE SHIPPING COMPANY IF THE BUYER IS INTERESTED. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK. YOU CAN CALL ME AT 321-525-2533 LEAVE A MESSAGE AND I WILL RETURN ALL CALLS. JEFF

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
