Here is a nice 1987 GMC Caballero. The Caballero is the sister car to the Chevy El Camino. Since Ebay doesn't list the Caballero in the models I used the El Camino listing to make sure she was listed with the other like cars. Everywhere I drive this car people ask me about it. I am the second owner of this car. Previous owner passed and his son sold it to me in an estate type sale about 5 years ago. It ran well when I got it but I made alot of improvements. Originally it was black but need to be painted because it was a little faded and I wanted her to look sharp. I have had the engine gone through by a professional mechanic - he rebuilt the carburator, installed new battery, replaced the oil pan, installed new brake lines. I installed some nice 16 inch wheels and white letter tires, had it painted, also converted it to dual exhaust. I also had the seats recovered and new carpet installed. I also added a nice stereo system installed with large new speakers behind the seats (It Rocks!). Stereo also has a USB port. When I bought it I noticed a slight body roll when I purchased it so I took it to a race mechanic and installed a larger steering (Sway bar - I think is what it's called) system. Now she sticks to the road like a Jungle Cat! There is no Body roll on this car! Exit and entry ramps are a blast! (in more ways than one). It is a pretty fast car - but I have babied her since she is a little old. Going down the highway she rides like my Cadillac! Let go of the wheel and she stays straight. Will she spin the tires? YES! but only one will spin! Some people have suggested adding Positive traction but I've already got too much money in it. Is the air cold? It's cool but will leak down. Originally I think it was Freon - but I have had some guys convert it to modern (whatever it is now). Maybe theres a leak in the system somewhere - but it is cold for quite a while. The suspension is nice - I guess it could use some modern front shocks but the rear is "air-ride". Yes, you can add air to the rear shocks through a valve beside the gas cap. The black rubber (window sills?) are dry rotted and rain will leak down into the doors. when caught out in the rain. I have kept her in the garage most of the time - I have noticed a few rust bubbles down low in the door panels. My mechanic says it wouldn't be too much to take care of. Well, I HATE to see her go but...it's tax time and I am moving out some of my toys. This is a FUN car to drive - I have used her as a daily driver over the past 4-5 years and I know she will serve her next owner well. Good luck!

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 recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes
Mon, Jun 8 2015General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
