1987 El Camino, Runs Great, Last Year! on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
LAST YEAR MADE! Very collectible if you like 80's El Caminos. This one has bucket seats, console and floor shift automatic overdrive, cruise control and a/c, although the a/c belt is currently off so I don't know if it works, but everything is there. The interior is good but the dash has cracks. the mechanicals are the best parts, it runs and drives great. It had a new warranty GM 350 installed in 1990 and last fall we put on an edelbrock 4bbl intake and carb to pep it up. Its currently tagged and registered and is driven a few times a week, has been for about a year. Runs great, but has an exhaust leak and some of the tires are showing age. The paint is the downside, its original but faded, the hood showing the worst of it and starting to surface rust on the front half. but the body is very straight, no rust on the body and the hood is superficial only. Would be very easy to repaint. All around its a decent car and runs and drives great, really smooth and easy. Plenty of get up and go. I inherited this car and am just not a chevy guy, and I have a 1969 Ranchero and dont want two pickup-cars. Someone else can benefit from this one. I have driven it on long trips up to 150 miles with no problems, so I wouldn't be too worried about picking it up and driving it home if you live in about 500 miles. Don't know if I would hop in and go to California though. I am sure the engine would be fine just cant say about the tires. One was replaced last fall, the others are holding up fine but they aren't new. |

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

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.
