3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!! This is relisted because the last winning bidder says they didn't realize how great the distance would be to come to pick it up so that being said PLEASE make sure you can pick this up or have it shipped BEFORE bidding. This is a 1974 GMC SPRINT which we all know is the same as the Elcamino. It is a running driving project car. It can be made into a road worthy daily driver with just checking it out and fixing a few minor things or redo it and make an extra nice car. This car has been off the road quite awhile so it needs checking over before putting it on the road so that being said it will need to be hauled to your location for this purpose. The engine is a good running 350 with a turbo 350 trans which seems to shift fine. We ran it and tried the trans while it was sitting on stands in the garage only because there isnt any license or insurance on it. This car would be an easy fix for someone that wants an Elcamino or Sprint but doesnt want to invest a lot of money. With a little minor work you can make it a daily driver and work on updating it as you have the time and money. The body on this car is pretty good but it does have the usual rust underneath as most of them this body style did. It also has weak front floor pans and the rear ones will need work immediately. These can be repaired with a simple patch or replace them with new panels depending on how nice you want to make it. The pics show red primer on parts of the car, some of the places look to have been body worked and some of the places are just surface rust primed to keep the rust down. There are no holes showing other than a very narrow section in the bed floor, think theres a pic of it. Its not major, would be an easy fix. The doors dont seem to have any rust thru on the outside and the bottoms of them are pretty good with surface rust mostly. Fenders are showing a little primer on them but I think thats mostly surface rust also as they look pretty solid. Quarter panels have had some work done on them I think but theres no rust showing through yet. The tailgate has no rust thru, just surface rust and a few dings. The tires all hold air but are about worn out. The wheels are a nice set of rallys with 2 of them missing the trim ring. The front bumper is pretty good with some chrome peeling. The rear bumper is bent up a little but ok for a driver. The interior is driver quality. Dash pad is cracked but the door panels are both pretty decent, tops and bottoms. The seat is pretty good also. Carpet isnt much but thats a cheap fix. The car has a tilt wheel and it has a little play in it as do a lot of the GM vehicles. Its an easy fix by just tightening 3 bolts inside it. The car also has what seems to be all the air conditioning parts on it although its going to need charged. The frame is in great condition. This is a good project car guys as it wont take much to get it on the road. I have a very fair buy it now price on this so dont miss out. Remember this is a 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!! If you have any questions please ask before bidding. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding. Sorry about that but there seems to be more and more non paying bidders on here each day that just want to mess up your auction. Also the car is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction only. A lot of my auctions do end early so if you want the car dont wait around and maybe miss out. Also remember when the reserve is met the buy it now goes away. I require a nonrefundable $500 deposit at auctions end and the balance in full within 3 days. Delivery is possible depending on your location. I have a friend going to Knoxville TN next weekend so if your in that area and need it delivered he can do it for a good price. Checkout my feedback guys as its well over 500 and all positive so rest assure your dealing with an honest ebayer. You dont get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, we tell it like it is. Also the car can sit here a while you arrange shipping as long as its paid for according to the auction terms. Thanks for reading my novel and good luck should you decide to bid on this gret 1974 GMC Sprint.

Forgot to put in the listing that the windshield has a crack on the passenger side. These windshields are in the salvage yards for $50. Just wanted to mention this so theres no question later. Thanks
On Apr-29-13 at 16:09:52 PDT, seller added the following information:
I thought I had covered everything in the listing but with several questions about a few things let me try again. The car has been off the road awhile and its going to need checked out real good all over before putting it on the road. The brakes work but are very weak. The engine starts right up and sounds good although sometimes the carb wants to try and flood but not everytime. It does run!!!!! As far as the body, it has had rust repair in some of the places that the primer is showing but a lot of it is just surface rust. The rear floors are real bad and the fronts are very soft. I hope this clears up any questions you had about the elcamino. If not please let me know.

Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and EV Buyer's Guide: Which one do you want?
Fri, Nov 10 2017If you're shopping for a new vehicle these days, there's a litany of acronyms, buzzwords, and technobabble to further complicate an already difficult decision. But if you're looking at a green powertrain, you have three basic choices to compare: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and "EV" or, electric vehicle. So what are they and which one — if any — is right for you? Research your next new vehicle using Autoblog's Car Finder. Gasoline-Electric Hybrids By now, most people are familiar with the concept of a hybrid car. Thank Toyota's Prius for that. At its most basic, a hybrid vehicle has two powertrains, one gasoline and one electric, which work together for maximum efficiency. At low speeds, the engine can shut off entirely, relying solely on the battery for propulsion. The battery is either charged as you drive by converting kinetic energy into potential energy via a complex regenerative braking system, or directly off of the gas motor. This is a very hands-off, behind-the-scenes system as all the driver has to is put in gas and drive as normal. Hybrids come in all shapes and sizes and, according to the EPA, range in fuel economy from 58 mpg for the Hyundai Ioniq Blue all the way down to 13 mpg for the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. Best For: Anyone who want to see their fuel consumption go down without many sacrifices. You can easily find a hybrid sedan, hatchback, crossover, SUV or even a pickup truck (i f you can find one). Best of all, a hybrid requires no special equipment to be installed at home, or added work for the driver. Hybrids do cost more than traditionally-powered competitors, so make sure to compare projected fuel savings with how much extra a hybrid will cost – it may take a surprisingly long time to break even. The EPA provides a handy calculator for this very purpose. Our Favorite Hybrids: 2017 Toyota Prius 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Plug-In Hybrids Sometimes referred to as a PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, this is a baby-step towards full electrification. Armed with a much larger battery pack than a hybrid, PHEVs can go between 12 ( Mercedes-Benz GLE550e) and 97 ( BMW i3 w/Range Extender) miles on electricity alone depending on the model and your driving style. Like a normal hybrid, the driver is largely unaware of which power source is currently in use, even as they switch over — either because the battery is drained, or the driving circumstances require more power.
Here's our 2016 Chevy Camaro mega-gallery, live from Belle Isle
Mon, May 18 2015Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts headed to Belle Isle in Detroit last weekend to witness the reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Couldn't make it? We've got the next-best thing. Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
