Up for auction is a 1971 El Camino. This car is in great daily driver condition but is a project as well. Has a 350 with a 600 cfm Edelbrock carb., Has a noisy gear drive timing set, new header and valve cover gaskets, new header spark plugs, new fuel pump. runs great and strong. Has a turbo 350 trans with a B&M floor shifter but I do have the linkage to go back on the column. Dual exhaust with exhaust dumps if you like it loud, one wheel peel reared, car is a tire frier, has new axles and bearings, new brakes. Has rear air shocks but they do bleed down after a couple days, may need new lines. Power steering, manual drum brakes. Car needs a repaint, it appears that this car maybe got a Mayco paint job to sale quickly. I ran a magnet over whole car and it stuck good exept for passenger rear wheel well area, I looked in inspection panel and it looked like an old crease dent, car was mud textured along the rockers like they used to do in the 80's, there are rattle can color match spots along the car. Looks like car was originally mustard yellow then blue and its current yellow now. Paint is a 30 footer, not putting the car down but just want to be transparent on description. Small hole punched in metal from front passenger bumper accident some time in its life. Inner drivers side box quarter in the bed has rusted out areas. Complete floor pans replaced from toe board to back and dyno matted over, ready for carpet. Treasure box has typical rust issues. Car does not have any interior, such as no headliner, door panels, or carpet. Passenger wing window gear is broke, needs heater motor. Wheels and tires are in great shape, Front driver wheel has curb rash shown in video. Again this car runs and drives great, awesome cruiser and comfortable. I think I have covered this car pretty well but please look at photo's and watch the video and feel free to ask any questions on anything I may have overlooked. Great running project for someone, I just have way to many going. Buyer to arrange shipping but I will help with loading and such. Buyer to make a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. Happy bidding!!! I will upload video shortly.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
