Fully restored and enhanced 1981 El Camino. We purchased the El Camino from a family
friend, who put about 140k miles on it.
It was in good general operating condition and had not been in any
accidents. Here’s a list of the repairs
and improvements. ·
Engine o
Swapped engines – it came with a small V-6. We installed a crate GM 350 cu-in engine
designed to produce 300 hp. The crate
engine was new, and has less than 100 mi.
It came with heads installed. We
added the intake manifold, carburetor, flywheel, water pump, fuel pump and
alternator. o
Exhaust system is all new with headers and
custom dual exhaust. o
Cooling system – completely replaced to
accommodate the larger engine. The fan
cowling is an area for improvement as it does not fit well. We planned to change to electric fans to
eliminate the cowling and bought a fan, but never installed it. ·
Transmission o
Had the original transmission completely rebuilt ·
Differential and drive shaft o
All original parts ·
Air conditioner o
New system with a modern compressor ·
Front end o
Replace the coil springs to handle the added
weight of the engine. o
Cut down the front springs to lower the front
end a bit to give a slight nose-down angle, just enough to give a muscle car
look. ·
Shock absorbers o
Replaced all four shocks ·
Wheels and tires o
Put on wider five spoke wheels and new
tires. The original tires were typical
early 80s narrow tires. We saved the
original wheels. ·
Body o
The body work was done by Bob Haynes at Custom
Coach works. We stayed close to the
original color, which was a bronze.
Custom Coach used a metal flake paint that really makes the paint a lot
brighter than the original. o
Only one serious rust spot was found. It was the floorboard on the passenger side
that was over the catalytic converter. A
replacement panel was installed. o
Trim was kept all original. o
Seals were replaced around both doors and
windows. The seals are still a bit
stiff, making the doors a bit difficult to close. o
The bed was covered in a spray-on bed liner that
was colored a light brown to complement the body. The bed had small dents showing its many
years of service, which posed a problem to get them all smoothed out for
painting. The bed liner was a great
solution that looks quite good. ·
Interior o
Upholstery was completely replaced, the looking
being the same as the original. It has a
bench seat. o
Door panels got new coverings. o
The curtain that covers the spare tire compartment
was replaced. o
New carpet was installed. o
A dashboard cover was installed since the
original has split and become brittle. o
The glove box still needs some work; the cables that hold it in the open position
broke and we have not replaced them. o
New stereo and custom speaker setup. o Unfortunately the gear indicator and analog clock have not worked since being purchased.
We spent a long time building up this car, and it was a great bonding experience for the family. This things roars with the new 350 and dual exhaust, and makes a wonderful deep rumble at idle. It will break the back tires loose, not a problem for 300+ hp on that light El Camino truck bed. We are moving on to bigger and better projects, and will sell this car to the best offer. Don't be afraid to make an offer!

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
Watch this week's Top Gear America used-car challenge
Sat, Sep 9 2017Top Gear America is back for the penultimate episode of the first season. Used car challenges were some of the highlights of the original UK edition. In our exclusive clip, Tom Ford, Antron Brown and William Fichtner run their $7,000 sports cars in a drag race. As expected, the trio chose very different cars for the challenge. Watch the video to see if a Subaru WRX's all-wheel drive can overcome a power deficit to beat a Ford Mustang and a Chevy Corvette. Brown and Fichtner also spend some time relaxing with an old Jeep Wagoneer. Like them, we're really hoping Jeep will bring back the Wagoneer nameplate. Brown also drives a Maserati Levante, proving that not all family cars need be boring. This week's guest star is actor, rapper and former host of Pimp My Ride, Xzibit. Top Gear America airs Sundays at 8 p.m. Eastern on BBC America. Related Video: Celebrities TV/Movies Chevrolet Ford Subaru Top Gear exclusive top gear america
2022 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon get updated transmission
Sat, Dec 25 2021General Motors' full-sized SUVs have slipped in one more change before the year turns. GM Authority reports that the 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, and the 2022 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL equipped with gas V8 engines, will pick up a revised ten-speed automatic transmission. The new unit carries RPO code MHS, and Chevrolet communications rep Catherine Scales told GMA the updated gearbox "allows our manufacturing and dealer teams to more easily align the specific calibration needed for the transmission and can enable OTA updates in the future." It seems GM wants to make it easier to update the transmission's tuning and calibration in the future with the automaker's networked Vehicle Intelligence Platform/Global B electronic architecture. The 10-speed auto comes bolted to the 5.3-liter V8 and the 6.2-liter V8. The 3.0-liter inline-six Duramax diesel continues with the 10-speed automatic already in use. To recap the other changes for the full-sizers, we'll start with the 2022 Tahoe and Suburban, which get a new 12.3-inch digital instrument display to replace the former 8-inch unit and physical gauges. Navigation will be standard equipment displayed on the 10.2-inch infotainment touchscreen on all trims barring the base LS. Lane-keeping assist and parking sensors are also now standard, while reverse automatic braking is added to the Enhanced Display and Alert package on the top trims. Finally, the 6.2-liter V8 option is expanded to the Z71, RST and Premier trim levels, but it requires selecting one or more packages on the Z71 and RST. Moving onto the 2022 Yukon, availability of the 6.2-liter V8 expands to the AT4 trim, and the big V8 comes with a shiny pair of exhaust finishers. Redwood Metallic paint joins the exterior color palette, more wheel options are on offer, and illuminated sill plates can gussy up the rocker panels . An Enhanced Trailering Technology Package adds 13 cameras with the option for an interior accessory camera for those with enclosed haulers. On the safety side, expect reverse automatic braking to join the list of available driver assistance features. Inside, the Yukon welcomes the 12.3-inch digital cluster, the Yukon Denali welcomes the power sliding console as a standard feature instead of a $350 option. Related Video:
