Numbers Matching 360hp 4-speed Chevelle El Camino Clean on 2040-cars
Muncie, Indiana, United States
|
Rare RPO, Kansas City built 1966 El Camino with a VIN matching EF 396-360hp, VIN matching Muncie M-20 4-speed and a code CF 12
bolt 3.31 ratio positraction rear. The original 396 was rebuilt less than 5000 miles ago
with .030” over forged TRW pistons, Competition Cams 292H camshaft kit and reconditioned connecting rods with hardened bolts,
the original forged crankshaft needed nothing, was polished and left
std-std. The cylinder heads received hardened valve seats, 2.19 and 1.88 stainless valves and new bronze
guides. An Edelbrock Performer RPM intake was installed in place of
the original GM Holley cast iron intake (included) with a new Holley
4777 650 Double Pumper carburetor. For the ignition, a Pertronix unit replaces the breaker points and for the exhaust, the original
cast manifolds were put in a box (also included) and a set of custom Mickey
Thompson Super Scavenger headers were installed.
During the engine rebuild, the original Muncie M-20 transmission was rebuilt with new bearings, new brass syncros, a reverse idler and a new HD clutch riding on a resurfaced flywheel. The original GM shifter was also rebuilt and re-bushed, it shifts like new. The original CF code 12 bolt, 3.31 positraction rear differential was also reconditioned with new bearings, seals and
gaskets. The front suspension and brake systems were also rebuilt at
this time, it drives like new. Even though it's and older restoration, the body, paint and chrome on this car are still in excellent condition, it's been wet once in past 20 years, sitting at a car show. The 762 black bucket interior is in excellent condition and has center console with clock and the original and working AM/FM
radio. The original tachometer stopped working at one point so a Sun Super Tach was placed in the factory location, it fits perfectly. The original 5600rpm redline tachometer and an extra console clock are also included with car. This El Camino is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time, thanks for looking and happy bidding!
On May-20-14 at 15:02:35 PDT, seller added the following information: Forgot to mention that the car also has power steering and power brakes, and that the brakes are drums, front and rear. Sorry for any confusion! |

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
