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.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
