I have a El Camino I bought from an auto auction in 2004 that I think had been reposed. I have a clear and free title which I just had brought up to date which cost me $55 for title and taxes and interest. I bought this with intentions of fixing up for grandson to drive to school. Never got it done in time, he bought something else. I have done a lot on it but still has a long way to go and needs some one to take over. #1 it smokes a lot. Starts real good, purrs like a kitten, but why it smokes I don't know. Looks like I put new spark plugs and wires on the car on Apr of 2013, also Oil, filter and fuel filter. Put New ignition coil, distributor rotor & cap on 10/23/2012. Have done misc. blasting and painting underneath, such as brake drums, took gas tank off and blasted and painted, rear end blasted and painted , transmission pan and so on. mostly rattle can painting as was not fixing up to be show car, just presentable. 2 cracks in dash pad, otherwise not bad. Had dash out and cleaned out real good, seats and side panels are fairly good but headliner not tore up but looks like should be replaced. I have door panels off, was working on window motors, one window is out but is in real nice shape, all glass is good. motors are working good now but need to put wires back together and solder. I have new window felts for both doors, new door rubbers which I will sell reasonable to highest bidder when we make a deal on car. These do not go with car. The back end has been blasted dents fixed, and Herculiner put in bed. New door pins, painted inside of door frames. Bumpers are pretty good, tires???fair Battery Fair. Brakes work, but I blew a brake line so has a temporary rubber hose so lines should be replaced. Need to repaint one side of hood stripe, I have some Duplicolor black that can go with the car, also some silver. Tailgate was bad, still not the greatest so if you want it better, will have to redo it. The back Quarters have been replaced with new panels from OPGI $150.00, did pretty good job, needs a little bit of skim coteing. Self etching primer, I have put a lot more time and money into it than I want out of it. Good Luck and bring your trailer, can be driven on trailer but not home. GOOD NEWS I was reading in my Chilton Manual and it said for BLACK SMOKE, change the Air Filter and the Crank Case Air Filter which I did and it sure did make a difference, not much smoke now, just needs to be driven instead of setting around. I drove it around the block a couple times and seems to shift okay. I will also through the manual in with the car.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
