This is a consignment item for my father in-law. He is old school and doesn't understand computers or eBay. I will do my best for correspondence and answer questions as punctual as possible. The title is signed and in my possession as he is a OTR driver and frequently out of town. This is his right up of the vehicle and was critiqued by my self to enhance accuracy. The vehicle is "as is" and BUYER is responsible for transport cost or pick up. Buyer is expected to make a $500.00 deposit and pay the remainder within prior to pick-up and cashier check is preferable or paypal works. Thanks for looking and happy bidding :-) Regards, Mike

1985 Chevrolet El Camino
111,780 original family owned miles
My moms car, she was the original owner from new, then I inherited it.  Texas car for ten years of it's life, then relocated back to it's home area in Illinois in 1996. Since then it's served me well as my errand runner and maintenance has been kept up on. Great car and well taken care of most its life. Some age issues including surface rust and door bushing wear causing doors to be out of line. The car runs okay but could use a tune up. The cars exhaust is leaky, not loud as much as puffy. A few smaller dents as pictured and some oxidation on exterior along with surface rust patches. Solid underneath with little concern of problems, mainly sills and edges affected by rust but not throughout panels. Bumpers are great shape with only one small dent in rear and larger dent on the side, trim and chrome are good with lots of potential. Front bumper and grill are in great shape and shine well with a good clean. The tires are newer, fuel pump was replaced along with battery  not long ago and oil is freshly changed. The motor is a 4.3 liter 6 cylinder and was rebuilt in 2003. The cars interior is in good condition, the rear view mirror is missing and there is a small chip on windshield. The seats have a small split on the seam on driver side upper bolster. The dash has 3 splits from heat. The window winding handles are missing. Love the car but gotta let it go. Thanks, Raul.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
