This El Camino was a former off frame build in the late 70’s. It has extensive chrome plating and amazing laquer paint which would cost 20k-30k at today’s prices.

This 71 SS is a former ISCA show car which saw very limited street use after completion.

I have known the car and its former owner since 1982. As the pictures show this 30 year old laquer with candy scallops, ribbon paint and ghost flames and beautiful detail is still in beautiful shape. During the build the frame was removed, blasted and detailed then painted, pinstriped and made as nice as the top.

When I located the car in central Florida it still had the valour Cadillac seats and door panels from early 80’s. I replaced these with Pro-Car seats and door panels and kick panels from NPD. The blower motor and turbo 350 had been removed for another project when the El Camino’s show days ended and the rolling chassis was put in dry storage for the next 25 years. Somewhere in that time, the car was moved from Fort Lauderdale where I located its owner and convinced him to sell.

The car is currently located near Tampa Florida. Always stored and in the past 5 years it has seen very limited use.

The current motor and transmission have roughly 300 miles on them. The transmission is a Turbo 400 with a reverse pattern valve body. The blower currently on the car has had the rotor removed and was modified to fit over the 650 Holley Carb. It does not function but retains the original look and still has the great blower whine and attitude.  PAYPAL WILL BE ACCEPTED FOR DEPOSIT ONLY. Full payment less deposit must be by cashiers check or cash in person. Vehicle will not be released until funds have cleared the sellers bank......

The engine is

.030 over 010 cast 4 bolt main block

186/202 Double hump heads

292 H Comp Cam

Comp cam Roller rockers

1182 Steel Crank

Pink Rods

10 to 1 Forged TRW Pistons

Carb is a 650 Holley

The turbo 400 trans has a 3500 converter and the fully detailed 12 bolt rear had the original 5:46 gear removed and 3.42 gear installed.

The radio and dash lights are currently not working, Power locks do not work, all of these should be an easy fix and the nitrous bottle was purchased used but I never installed it. THANKS FOR CONSIDERING MY CAR, IT IS TRULY A VERY NICE VEHICLE

Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady gives Chevy Colorado to Malcolm Butler [w/poll]

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Winning the Super Bowl, we'd imagine, is pretty sweet. Winning the MVP award at the Super Bowl, even more so – for many reasons, among them that you get a brand new Chevy Colorado, packed full of, you know... technology and stuff. Of course this year's Most Valuable Player was none other than Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quaterback who was crowned Super Bowl MVP for the third time and lead the Pats to win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. He makes tens of millions every season, and Mrs. Brady (a.k.a. Gisele Bundchen) probably makes an extraordinarily pretty penny herself. So what does one of the most successful and wealthy players in NFL history need with a new pickup truck? Not a whole lot, apparently: the Boston Business Journal reports that he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback who intercepted Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson's pass on the Patriots' one-yard line with only twenty seconds to go and sealed the victory for New England. Which strikes us as a fitting gesture, even if Brady did keep the MVP trophy for himself.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.

Franchitti, Kanaan, and Dixon prank young IndyCar driver

Fri, May 22 2015

The 20-year-old Sage Karam is a rising star in racing after scoring the 2013 Indy Lights Championship and taking ninth place in the 2014 Indianapolis 500. He's now competing for Chip Ganasi Racing, one of the top teams in the IndyCar Series, and counts this year's pole sitter Scott Dixon and former winner Tony Kanaan as teammates. Of course, being so young and a new member of the squad, some lighthearted hazing is to be expected. Dixon, Kanaan, and three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti decided to play a little prank on Karam. While ostensibly detailing his Chevrolet Camaro, the three joking racecar drivers turned it into the Karamo. Check out the video above to see exactly what that means. After some scary crashes going into this year's event, it's refreshing to watch some cheery things happening at Indy.
