Their is also a trace of rust on the top of the right fender."

Up for sale is a rare 1968 El Camino which was restored about 5 years ago by the previous owner. Restoration included new paint, bumpers re-chromed, engine rebuilt and the manual transmission was replaced with a 4 speed Muncie. I bought the car a little over 2 years ago and spent a lot of time and money getting the it into this condition. 


The car is stunning inside and out, lowered 4" on the front and 3" at the rear for a better stance (springs not cut). The body is straight without any dents, their are some minor scrapes on the rear 3/4 panels and top of the passenger side fender and some stone chipping, but generally the paint and color looks fantastic. The floor also had some repair, its solid except for a small area of rust underneath the bed.

The interior is clean and looks new. The dash was completely repainted with new steering wheel, new dash instrument bezel and switch knobs, I've added a 68' radio for the original look, but have an CD player - stereo that will go along with the car. There is new carpet, head liner and sail panels. The bench seat was reupholstered by the previous owner which looks great but on the drivers side rear there is a small tear.

It starts first time every time, along with the hooker headers the motor sounds great and drives fantastic, shifts through the gears without any problem and with new front and rear suspension the ride is smooth.

This El Camino is definitely one of a kind, I get complements about it all the time, but sadly I have to let it go as I am moving to Europe. I will help out as much as I can but buyer must arrange pick up and shipping themselves.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.
