Do not bid unless you have the money !!! I require $500 paypal in 24 hours.  Don't e mailme asking how much.  Make a offer for but it now.  If I agree you get it.  Simple don't have time to waste 

 

           I am offering my 1979 Chevy El Camino "Candy O".  I am the proud owner of this vehicle for now 10 years!  This was a FRAME OFF RESTORATION done 4 years ago.  I am going to explain the detail but I could write for days so again call or e-mail with questions.

   Car is an original V8/Th350 automatic.  I installed a 1971 Camaro 307 V8 4 years ago.  The mileage on the engine at that point in time was about 55k.  The guy with camaro put in 600+hp engine and had no use for original engine.  This was a score for me.  The engine was a virgin as they come.  Rated at 9.1 Compression and 200hp it is more powerful that the typical 1980's 350 and superior over the 140hp 305's of the same time period!  I installed HEI ignition as well as a 1980 Corvette Rochester 4 barell mated to an Edlebrock proformer intake backed  by $1000.00 of pypes dual exhaust and ceramic headers!  Going easy pushing 240 HP if not better. ZERO running issues at all.  I put at least 35,000k on it since I installed the engine.  The point in case is the car didn't sit around.  I used it again and again!

       The transmission is a Th350 3 speed automatic.  I had this rebuilt by a professional trans shop in NJ.  MAYBE if it has 10k on it that would be a lot. The complete front end was rebuilt, all new upper/lower conrol arm bushings, springs all around, new calipers, brake drums, master cylinder.  EVERY SINGLE BRAKE LINE was replaced BRAND NEW. YES EVERY LINE.... BRAND NEW (7 out of 10 G Body GM cars have time bomb brake lines ticking away waiting to explode and leave you stranded). All new flex hoses.

     The body was removed from the chassis and I replaced the whole chassis with a perfect rot free one! (The prior chassis was rotted in 3 places)  ALL NEW BODY MOUNTS WERE INSTALLED. AM/FM CD player, speakers in box behind seat.

       The bottom of the car is just about new. NO HOLES IN FLOORS. NO HOLES IN BODY.Bottom of the car painted in satin black 4 years ago.  The rear end was rebuilt and 3.42 gears were installed.  It has massive acceleration power from a standstill. Most lazy rear ends were 2.41 2.73 in these cars.   NO WIRING ISSUES WHATSOEVER.  Everything works, all lights, horn, heater.  It is a FACTORY STYLE NO A/C car. (included but not shown in photos is a complete A/C unit I saved from another car of same vintage as well as many other misc odd items I have hoarded away, trim, mechanical, etc- There is a street value in these items alone. All goes with car upon sale)The bed will be loaded with all extra parts for new owner to keep or sell.

      The paint was stripped to the bare metal and car is painted with basecoat/clear Diamont products (not cheap ).  Bumpers are like new, the only defect I want to mention is some surface paint bubbles in both front corners of the doors.  THE DOORS ARE NOT ROTTED! They are solid as a rock.  This is common in this 78-88  G body cars as that is where moisture collects.  If this is offensive to you $500 addition will correct it before you take the car.  If not you take it as is. I have ZERO to hide and most would not even mention it.  It's not even that bad I am honest seller and don't have time to waste by telling stories.

        I live in NY 10920. Car is also for local sale.  Listing may end at any given time.  IF you want the car come view in person if need be.  If you bid on it from far away, know and understand that bid is contract.  I don't want to deal with confused people who don't have the money or bid for the purpose of their entertainment.  The car is well worth $10,000 if not better.  My RESERVE IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT.  I don't owe this car a nickel.  It's been with me ten years. I am bailing out and calling it a day.  FAR MORE IN IT THAT IT'S ACTUAL VALUE.

    Terms of sale are as follows. $500 pay pal deposit no more than 24 hours after end of auction.  If you DO NOT HAVE IT, DO NOT BID.  The rest cash in hand, bank check, or direct deposit.  I am not going to ACCEPT PAY PAL as payment of car, if that is your intention do business elsewhere.  This isn't a part, this is a vehicle.  A vehicle I am giving away, so let's make this transaction quick and to the point. The full amount is due no more than 7 days after the end of auction.  All non paying bidders will be reported. Please be serious and back up your bid for the fairness of others.

    Car is AS/IS, WHERE IS in NY 10920.  Buyer is responsible for all transport fees to their home.  Come pick up and drive home after paid in full. I have a CLEAN NY tittle in my name.  It is the ownership of the vehicle.

   Do your homework.... $1500-3000 or so buys you junk.  You will put more into something you buy for that price. I did all the work for you, find the money. This is worth it.  I have others at a local level who dream about this so I'm just waiting on an educated cash offer and it leaves my life.... time waits for no one.... no favorites.

          Thanks for reading.....

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!

Six-week production shutdown planned for 2016 Chevy Volt

Thu, Apr 9 2015

It's no surprise that GM is winding down production of the first-gen Chevy Volt as it prepares to start building the second-gen for a launch in the second half of this year, but for now, things are proceeding as planned, according to Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho. Malcho told AutoblogGreen that GM "is still making first generation Volt" and that there has been no announcement about when that will change. The only details she would divulge is that, "It will be this summer." "Halting Chevrolet Volt production in anticipation of the all-new 2016 model year is a smart move for GM," Akshay Anand, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, said in a statement. "[The move] allows for less inventory and incentives on the outgoing model. Hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle sales have been declining for some time now, with gas prices well below the summer prices of 2014." Volt production will cease in the weeks before the traditional two-week auto plant shutdown over the July 4 holiday. A high inventory of Volts is a factor in the production cuts, but not the only one, Malcho said. The plant construction, engineering changes and pre-production plans for the new Volt and CT6 all were part of the decision, she said. Nationwide, there is about a 200-day supply of Volts on dealer lots (roughly 100 days in California, the car's biggest market), according to the Detroit Free Press, which says there will be a six-week retooling period (twice as long as normal, but other sources say the shutdown will be four weeks long) at GM's Hamtramck plant this summer to get ready for the second-gen model. The 2016 Volt will get an increase in all-electric range to 50 miles and will then get 41 miles per gallon when the battery runs out. It also has a fifth seat that straddles the battery tunnel and a larger li-ion battery. Related Video: The AP contributed to this report.
