1969 El Camino 350cu. In. V8 on 2040-cars
Temple, Texas, United States
|
The vehicle was purchased in 1970. The original vehicle has been modified to be a SS want-to-be by changing the hood and interior. The engine is a 350Cu. In. which was rebuilt in 1998 with 38,950 miles on it. The present mileage is 46,991. During the rebuild, a new RV cam was put in, all new pistons and rings, push rods, rockers, valves and springs. The heads were completely redone and modified to be able to use unleaded gas. The engine also received a new Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor. It has a new fuel pump, starter, water pump and alternator. It has the two-chamber Flowmaster mufflers with Hooker headers. The rear end is a 12-bolt positive traction with 308 gears. The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic three speed. The front suspension and bushings were all replaced in 1994. Front Disc brakes were installed in 2005. It does have a stock AC unit but it need some work. New compressor but it might have a Freon leak because it is not as cool as it should be. The painting on the vehicle was done in 2005. It is painted a pearl white with ghost flames in the black stripes. The body work took over a year to complete and is straight with no fillers being used. All the interior work was completed in 2005 with the SS package. This includes seats, headliner, carpet and tonneau cover. Even though the car is driven frequently since the overhaul, it has been entered in several shows and is a winner for it's class. |

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
