1974 SUPER SPORT EL CAMINO! A TRUE NUMBERS MATCHING 454 BIG BLOCK CAR THAT IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS! AIR CONDITIONING, POWER STEERING, & POWER BRAKES! ALL ORIGINAL SHEET METAL WITH NO RUST! PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED THIS YEAR! LOTS OF MONEY INVESTED JUST THIS YEAR ALONE!

     This El Camino is truly remarkable. Not often can I say this but in this case, the photos as well as video do not do this El Camino a bit of justice. Over the last year this El Camino has received a tremendous amount of work. From brake and suspension work to the most significant enhancement, having it professionally repainted. Just within the last two weeks we installed the SS stripes as well as equipped it with a brand new set of 17" wheels and Nitto tires. The only mileage the wheels and tires have seen are what you've viewed within the video. Maybe ten miles at this point? A few years ago, the motor was also rebuilt and as you can see, everything was put back exactly how it should be. Mechanically the El Camino drives out like it just came off of the showroom floor.

Body: This El Camino is completely rust free. It retains all of its original sheet metal which is extremely straight. Which means that the El Camino managed to survive over three decades with out ever being molested or hacked on. That in its own is a fairly rare feat! Nearly a year ago, the El Camino was stripped and repainted. The craftsmanship is remarkable. The paint shines out beautifully and the stripes line up extremely well. The El Camino has a brand new setup of 17" custom wheels which are wrapped in brand new high dollar Nitto tires. I actually just purchased these and had them put in less than a week ago! They really give the El Camino that perfect stance. All of the glass through out the El Camino is in excellent shape as is all of the trim. The El Camino also retains its original Jack which can be seen within the photos located below. I also have a brand new El Camino emblem for the tail gate.

Engine & Mechanical: The El Camino still retains its original 454 big block. Which according to the previous owner, was rebuilt approximately three years ago and has little to no miles on it. He had driven it about one hundred miles the entire time he owned it and I know that we've put less then that on it since owning it. I would estimate that the motor has less than a thousand miles on it. It does not have a single mechanical issue. It starts up every time and runs out exceptionally well. The same can be said for the transmission. It shifts smoothly through out its gears and has zero mechanical problems. When the motor was installed, that is when new dual exhaust was installed. The exhaust setup compliments the motor very well as it sounds absolutely tremendous. The power steering setup works flawlessly as does the power brake setup. It does have front disc with rear drums. The El Camino does not squeak, shake, or pull when stopping. All of the electrical components through out the El Camino are in excellent working order. The turn signals, head lights, tail lights, the AC, windshield wiper blades, everything works! Even the original 8 Track radio still works (which can be viewed in the video below). The El Camino also is equipped with its original and larger ten bolt rear end. The shocks through out the El Camino have been updated and provide for a much smoother ride.

Interior: The majority of the interior has been redone and is of excellent condition. The bench seat has been recovered, a new headliner has been installed, the carpet is new, the door panels are new, and the new dash pad we just installed in the last week. About the only thing that the interior needs are the vents could be repainted. They are not cracked or broken but they are faded.

     These big block El Caminos are already fairly difficult to find. Now throw in the fact that it retains all of its original sheet metal, that it hasn't been butchered, and that its been fully restored, NOW you've got a whole lot of automobile for a fraction of what it would cost to build one. I personally would love to keep the El Camino but given my current situation, I have to sell it. I will be evaluating all reasonable offers and I will in fact sell the El Camino early as we do have it for sale "locally". I strongly encourage anyone who is interested to please call or email to schedule a time to come check it out. I would also like to add that I am usually on the phone from 7 AM until about 12 AM so you are always welcome to call and if I do not answer, just leave a message and I will return your call immediately. I know from my own experience with purchasing cars online, most of the time it is very difficult to get someone on the phone and to obtain the information you need. So I try to always stay on top of emails and phone calls. We do have a clear title for this El Camino. As always, good luck and happy bidding!

Thanks,

Shawn

2016 Chevy Camaro coming on May 16

Mon, Mar 16 2015

We officially have a date for the arrival of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Fans of Chevy's Mustang fighter should look forward to May 16, and if they're in the Detroit area, they'll want to make their way down to Belle Isle, home of the Chevy Indy Dual in Detroit. We still don't have a great deal of information on the new Camaro, aside from what's been gleaned in spy shots and the like, although Chevy's press release was accompanied by the image shown above. That, friends, looks a lot like the Camaro's badge of old. Its presence here could be an indication that an old logo is set to return to production. That's because what Chevy is planning could best be described as a jamboree, or Camaro-palooza, if you prefer, rather than a typical unveiling. Chevy is inviting up to 1,000 Camaro fans to descend on Belle Isle for a day-long event that will offer up a lot more than their first look at the sixth-generation muscle car. Fans can hot lap the Belle Isle circuit from the passenger's seat of a new Z/28, check out a Camaro "museum," featuring "the most significant vehicles from the brand's history," and chat with some of the Camaro's designers and engineers. "This will be an event Camaro fans will not want to miss," Camaro marketing manager Todd Christensen said in a statement. "This is only the sixth time we have introduced an all-new Camaro. We wanted to share the moment with the customers and fans who have helped make Camaro both America's favorite performance car for the past five years, and a cultural icon since 1967." We'll almost certainly be on hand for the debut (and you'll absolutely be able to get all the details here). And as we said, if you happen to be in the Detroit area in mid May, you can register to attend the unveiling. All you need to do is head over to Chevy's dedicated website for the sixth-generation Camaro and sign up for the big event, on Saturday, May 16. Scroll down for the full press release. 2016 Camaro Drops Cover on May 16 in Detroit DETROIT – Chevrolet is inviting fans to see the all-new 2016 Camaro on Saturday, May 16, in Detroit. The sixth-generation Camaro will cap a day-long celebration on Belle Isle, the 982-acre island park that is home to the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix May 29-31. "This will be an event Camaro fans will not want to miss," said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. "This is only the sixth time we have introduced an all-new Camaro.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

GM's Ultium EV platform finally shows up in Q3 sales numbers

Wed, Oct 4 2023

General Motors has heralded its Ultium battery-electric platform as the future of its passenger car and truck lineup, but for the first two years of its existence, its impact on the marketplace has been virtually nonexistent. Well, that finally changed in the third quarter of 2023, and while the cars based on this architecture don't represent anywhere near the volume of GM's broader combustion portfolio, we're reaching a point where Ultium products are finally in view (and in the hands) of real-world shoppers. At this point, five U.S.-market Ultium models are in production: the GMC Hummer EV, Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Blazer & Silverado EV, and BrightDrop Zevo 600. If you're not familiar with that last one, that's OK; it's a commercial product that you likely won't see on the road for some time. Together, these four combined for 4,257 sales in the third quarter alone — up from 2,663 for the entire first half of the year. While that may not seem like a significant uptick when viewed from altitude, the quarter-to-quarter numbers paint a clearer picture.  Let's toss out the stragglers first. The Chevy Blazer EV, and Silverado EV for example, are barely in production. GM delivered 19 Blazers and 18 Silverados in the third quarter and that's the entirety of their production runs so far. Likewise, GM's BrightDrop Zevo 600 delivery van effectively exists apart from the consumer marketplace, so its contribution of just 35 units can be set aside too. That leaves us the two you've heard of: the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq — models with high sticker prices and long reservation queues.  Through the second quarter (remember, we're talking six months here), GMC sold 49 Hummer EVs. No typo. In the three months that made up the third quarter, GM moved 1,167 of them. Not only is that a dramatic improvement over the first half, but it's more Hummers than GMC sold in the entirety of 2022 (854). Lyriq's improvement was less eye-popping on paper, but after moving just 122 total units in 2022 and 2,013 of them in the first half of 2023, Cadillac managed to up that figure to 3,018 units in the third quarter alone.  GM is betting its short-term EV future on the Ultium platform, so these trends need to continue if that's going to be a profitable wager.
