this is a running and driving elcamino i drove this car/truck for 2 hours the other day and it drove fine.this is an excellant candidate for a rolling restoration.the body is pretty rust free for an elcamino but it does have its issues.the floor pans are solid in the front behind the seat there the is rust through but is not a very hard fix because most of it is still in tact.the firewall and radiator frame is perfect which on these cars is ussually rusted bad.the front floors are solid as a rock (this is a southern car)the front fenders are very nice with the exception of some surface rust.the doors are rust free as well as the rockers.the bed is nice with minimal rust no rust through.this was a vynal top car at one time but someone in the past removed and painted it so the windshield channels are visibly clean the glass is all nice with no cracks.the intiorior is drver quality and all fuctions work(meaning lights blinkers,horn and heater and dash lights)the front bumper is in good shape but the grill has the bottom filler piece missing blinker lenses are perfect.the motor is a 350 and i have no idea if its original or not has long tube headers and a holly 4bbl. it also has an hei distributer.the trans. is a 700r4 and it functions well it shifts though all the gears.i personally think the 68-72 elcos are the best and most sought after this is a very restorable project with the hard to find or expensive parts in good shape.you could easily drive it while you worked on it.the back tires are new the fronts are ok the old school rims in pretty good shape also.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

GM extends production cuts, affects Cadillacs, Camaro and Acadia

Thu, Apr 8 2021

General Motors is extending production cuts at some of its North America factories due to a chip shortage that has roiled the global automotive industry, the U.S. carmaker said on Thursday. The move's impact has been baked into GM's prior forecast that the shortage could shave up to $2 billion off this year's profit. GM's Lansing Grand River assembly in Michigan will extend its downtime through the week of April 26. The plant makes Chevrolet Camaros and Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans. It has been out of action since March 15. GM's Spring Hill assembly in Tennessee will shut down for two weeks starting the week of April 12. The plant makes the Cadillac XT5, XT6 and GMC Acadia. The company said it has not taken downtime or reduced shifts at any of its more profitable full-size truck or full-size SUV plants due to the shortage. The news was first reported by CNBC.
