I own a restoration shop and this is a car I built twelve years ago and I am selling for my customer. When we got the car we had it media blasted. There was not a bit of rust as it has been a California car all its life. My customer is the third owner and has it for 17 years. Overall it is almost as nice as when we built it is 2002. It has 17,600 miles on it since then. We installed all the SS options as the car was a standard Chevrolet El Camino. I will detail the car below.....

Engine.. It is a Chevrolet crate motor. 454 roller with a 1000 cfm fuel injection from Holly. Sanderson coated cast iron headers through a 2 1/2 inch exhaust. HEI ignition and serpentine belt system. The car has lots of power and runs great but the injection system is touchy at idle. I would replace it with a Holly 750 carburetor. I think it would run smoother and have a better idle. It does not smoke or leak and has never been abused. This was a brand new Generation VI 425 horse motor.

Transmission.. It was a pro built 700 R4 with a 1800 rpm stall converter. Built to stand up to 500 horsepower. It has always worked perfectly. Shifts hard and tight.

Rear end is a 3.73 12 bolt positraction. It was completely gone through at the time of the build.

Body.. As I said earlier, it has always been in California so when we stripped it to bare metal there were some minor dents and dings to repair but no rust. It was painted with two stage Dupont. Base coat and clear coat. It still shines great and other than a couple of very minor scratches still looks as good as it did when we built it twelve years ago. The inner fender wells and core support were powder coated.

Interior.. It is showing the usual wear on the seats and the carpeting is a little faded but everything else is real nice. Door panels, headliner, dash are great. It was a factory A/C and we added the tilt wheel, rally gauges and tachometer power windows and soft ray tinted glass along with the SS bucket seats and console.

Overall a real nice, clean driver. With the 3.73 rear end and overdrive transmission the car is fast and still cruises beautifully down the highway. At 75 mph the rpm is about 2100. Nice. The fit and finish of the body is great. No rattles and everything fits well. All the chrome was new when the car was built and still looks great. New tires and the vinyl top were new last year. All the suspension was rebuilt in 2002. Ball joints and control arm bushings, tie rods, everything. It drives great.

If want to see the car I am about 15 miles east of Sacramento off HWY 80. If you have any questions or need more photos, please call Bruce weekdays at 916-652-6852. Thank you.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome

Fri, Dec 5 2014

The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago

Thu, Feb 12 2015

It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.
