1978 Chevrolet El Camino Black Knight Clone on 2040-cars
Madrid, Iowa, United States
I am selling this for a friend. Bill is 88 years old and he says as long as youhave a project going on you go on! I did all the work for him and can answer thequestions for him. If you are really interested in talking with him I can giveyou his number and you can speak with him. Since the car was restored the carmay have 500 miles on it. When we got done with it he was scared to drive itbecause it did turn out so nice. The car is believed to be a Black Knight DealerClone! At the dealership they took El Camino SS and put Black Knight Decals onthem to stimulate sales. This vehicle does not have the Z16 on the cowl tag sowe are lead to believe that it was cloned at the dealership. During therestoration the car did not have the original 350 put back in it. Bill opted fora HO 305. This car is not sluggish and is very respectable. As you can see greatattention was given to make sure this car was restored with the respect itdeserves. All the way down to it's seat belt levers located in the doors,and yes they work! The car does have a little beefier stance than stock. Billwanted it this way. I agree it does look nice and handles well. New interiorpieces where installed with some reconditioned parts. Great attention was givento the spare tire area with insulation and a light installed to help with sounddamping and to see at night. The brakes and wiring harness was all restoredcorrectly and back to 1978 standards. As with all El Caminos the bed was a hugeburden as it was used. I decide to Line-X the box and I am very glad we did so.It looks nice fo

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
