1973 Chevrolet El Camino Estate Sale Very Original And Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Englewood, Colorado, United States
For sale here is a very original 1973 Chevrolet El Camino that I purchased from an estate of an elderly couple. The vehicle is black with a tan interior. The car was repainted at some time in the past. The original color was a light metallic green (yuk). The paint job looks great as you can see in the pictures, however I would call it a decent "10 foot" paint job. It was done with pretty good care and all the edges, jambs, etc were painted black. The interior is clean and the seat was recovered in tan cloth at some point in the past. The rest of the interior is taupe, which is very dark green, almost black. The dash is cracked. The radio is an AM/FM cassette, but it is currently not working. The light come on, but no sound. I haven't fiddled with it yet.
The tonneau cover is in place, but it has some holes in it. It should be replaced. The wheels are aftermarket from the 1970's and look very good. The radial tires look almost new with plenty of tread. I'm not sure, but I think the old couple bought the vehicle new. The mileage shows 59,707 and I would suspect there is a good chance that that is the original mileage, but I will not warranty that, because the documentation is not complete. The spare tire (G78-14/ 4 Ply Polyester) appears to be the original and has been "lightly down" mounted on a steel wheel. The motor starts right up and idles smoothly with no smoke. Interesting to note is the fact that the entire air pump system is still in place and operating. The car run, drives, shifts very well. It really is fun to drive and attracts lots of attention. I'm selling it as is, before I get hooked on it. I have way too many cars, but I couldn't pass up this beauty. The vehicle is offered as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied. The vehicle is located in suburban Denver. All shipping costs, etc. are to be paid by the purchaser. Please email me with any questions prior to bidding. Your inspection, or that of your agent, is encouraged. Upon winning the bidding the purchaser must post a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hrs. The entire balance is due and payable in 3 business days in the form of cash ,check or money order. If a check is used the vehicle will not be released until the check clears my financial institution. Please check my feedback, I offer items as accurately as I can. You will not be disappointed in the condition of this vehicle. The reserve is not disclosed, so please don't ask. I never end an auction early, unless the vehicle sells locally. Bid early and often...good luck. |

Car and Driver reveals spy shots of mid-engine 2017 Corvette
Thu, Jan 8 2015Some news in the car world is perennial, and some is perennially wrong. Typically news about some upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette has fallen into the latter category, with rumors never yet generating a road car. This time could very well be different. Car and Driver has some exclusive photographs of what would appear to be a Corvette test mule with a mid-mounted engine. The car in question might look like a Holden SSV ute that's undergone some indelicate modification, but C/D editor Don Sherman assures that the bones of a C8 'Vette live within that crude bodywork. Sherman points to the closeness of the cabin to the front axle as clue number one of this car's mid-engine attitude, as well as the powertrain-sized space between the back of the seats and the rear axle. The roof and glasshouse are all clearly plucked from the current C7, and the gas tank filler positioned on the B-pillar is another huge clue. The buff book estimates that the mule points to a timeline for sale, even. Testing on this level could mean a mid-engined C8 ready for sale in as few as 20 months, or for the 2017 model year. Click over to Car and Driver to have a close look at this important set of spy photographs, as well as a rendering of what a finished C8 might ultimately look like
Why an independent rear suspension for GM's new, full-sized SUVs wasn't easy
Mon, Dec 23 2019A Motor Trend report last month laid out how Cadillac's 4.2-lier twin-turbo Blackwing V8 could be an orphan due to cost concerns in the GM empire. Last-minute chassis changes to Cadillac's new sedans and XT6 crossover led to engine bays that couldn't fit the Blackwing. On the SUV side, according to the report, the new independent rear suspension for big people haulers cost so much to implement that GM ruled out reworking the Escalade to accept the Blackwing. At least one commenter rightly asked how could a suspension swallow that much money. A new piece in Motor Trend has the answer. The excellent Alissa Priddle spoke to Tim Herrick, GM's executive chief engineer for full-size trucks, about why the clean-sheet IRS cost "multimillions of dollars."Â First, GM would need to build a new body shop at the Arlington, Texas plant that assembles the automaker's big SUVs to stamp the numerous wholly new parts and panels accommodating an IRS. Then GM would need to design and pay for a new assembly process. On top of those up-front costs, there was the incremental cost of the four-link IRS components being more expensive than those in the trucks' former leaf-sprung solid axles. Herrick endured so many rejections for so long that he remembers the date and time when he got approval for the new unit. He said it came down to a meeting where he told a higher-up, "I'll make you a deal: If we get to the reveal, or if we launch this and you think this was a dumb idea, I'll hand you my badge and let you walk me out." Head to Motor Trend to read the full story. Based on Herrick being on stage to help present the new SUVs to the press, and on our First Ride in the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban at GM's Milford Proving Grounds, it appears this will have a happy ending for all involved. Furthermore, since Herrick worked on the T1 platform that supports the big SUVs as well as the light- and heavy-duty pickups, he understood the demands on the commercial side, too. That could be why when Roadshow asked Tim Asoklis, chief engineer of the Tahoe and Suburban, if the new IRS could endure life in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Asoklis answered, "Oh, absolutely."
