For sale is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino Custom. It runs and drives/breaks great, and I’ve gone through periods where I used it as a primary means of transportation. It sure is an attention getter—I can’t even go to the grocery store or gym without several people standing around it as I go to leave, asking questions, etc. I’ll miss it deeply for that reason alone.

The pics were taken outside, but it has been garage kept since day 1.

It’s not perfect. The belt sometimes squeals on start up, but it starts right up, runs and drives great. It’s got a few scratches, cracks, rust, dings etc. but nothing big or very noticeable. The dash seems to be missing some fasteners where the gauge cluster attaches. All the gauges work except for the oil lamp. No A/C or radio installed. While the headlights/taillights and blinkers work perfectly, the lights in the dash (blinker indicators, bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night, etc.) work but not consistently. The previous owner had pulled the A/C control panel out for some reason—I suppose to replace it (as you can see it sits on the column in the pictures above).

Headliner’s in great shape. One of the seats is in great shape while the other isn’t—thus I put the seat covers on both. It has the SS style dash (round gauges) and floor shifter (Hurst V-Matic 2) which I love. Windshield wipers work.

Wheels are in good shape. Lots of work done (on the suspension specifically) which I’ve attached pictures of the receipts to account for.

Model: L48, 350 CID, 4-bbl

Engine: 350 4 bolt main—casting # 3970014.

Engine ID Code: V0319TJA; Flint, MI Assembly

Vin 1D80J2B568266; Baltimore, MD Assembly

Rear Axle: CKD 0507B2, 2.73:1 – 12 Bolt (L48/350-4); Buffalo, NY Assembly

Never had access to a lift in order to identify the transmission type as the only way I know to do that is via the pan shape.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
