68 Chevrolet Chevelle El Camino
Up for sale is a nice little 68 Chevelle El Camino power by a fresh 350 engine backed up by a TH350 transmission. Out back is a Ford 9" rear end. Car has tilt column, power steering and power brakes. A lot of new parts replaced and work has been done in the past year on this car. Mechanically and electrically the car has been completely gone through. The car runs and drives great. Drive it anywhere. The interior has been freshened up but not new. The body appears straight but the passenger fender does have a high spot. I have done very little to the body as you can see. If you like them shiny it will need a paint job and other cosmetic items freshened up to make it pretty. Nice little hot rod for someone that wants to make it their own but not do a full restoration. I've listed a lot below that done to the car recently.
Parts Replaced
Radiator: Is an all aluminum welded performance 3 row unit. It cools the car well.
Radiator shroud
Brake master cylinder
Power brake booster
Front brake cylinders
Front brake lines (rubber lines replaced with stainless braided versions)
Fuel sending unit
Upper and lower front control arm bushings
Upper and lower ball joints
Front wheel bearings
Front anti-sway bar (larger performance unit)
Front and rear springs (car sits nice)
Front and rear shocks
Steering box was replaced with a late model quick ratio version and the rag joint was eliminated and replaced with a universal joint type shaft. (Steering is solid and has a more modern feel).
Ignition switch and cylinder along with multiple other switches.
Installed is an aftermarket tachometer that replaces the factory clock. Looks factory and works great.
Tires are new
The exhaust is all custom with all mandrel alumized bends, tig welded, stainless X-pipe and Flow master mufflers.
New Accelerator cable
Transmission is fresh out of Cook's Transmission shop. It has had their Street/Strip treatment. B&M Z-gate shifter installed.
Engine: Small block 350, aluminum intake, Edelbrock 4 barrel carb, HEI ignition, full length headers. The engine was fresh when I bought the car but I didn't build it. What I did do is replace the cam and lifters with a mild Summit unit, Z28 valve springs, Summit fuel pump, MSD plug wires and the HEI distributor is a new performance unit.
Lots of other small miscellaneous parts replaced and work done.
Front end had been professionally aligned.
It is a factory air car but AC is not installed. It originally was a big block 396 car and the badges are still on the car. I just have other projects. If you have any further questions contact me.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt
Thu, Feb 26 2015A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.

GM will recall 3.5 million pickups and SUVs to fix brake issue
Wed, Sep 11 2019WASHINGTON — General Motors Co is recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and increase the risk of a crash. The recall, which covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles, was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted Wednesday. NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in November 2018, and said it had reports of 9 crashes and two injuries related to the issue. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. The company did not immediately say on Wednesday how many injuries or crashes are linked to the issue but said it could impact braking in "rare circumstances." GM said dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module with a new calibration that will improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC
