3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!! Up for bids is a 1977 Chevrolet Elcamino. This is a very sharp car and with just a few minor things it can be a road worthy daily driver. The car has been off the road for awhile is why some attention is needed before you can put it on the road, very minor but the few things do need to be taken care of first for reliability and safety concerns. It has a 350 engine which im sure is not original and a turbo 350 automatic trans. The engine runs and sounds great and the trans seems to shift as it should. The car seems to have all the air conditioning intact but will need charged. The Elcamino also has cruise control and all it needs to work is the cable that runs it from the underhood junction. Ive only run this car a little ways in order to checkout the trans etc so I cant say a lot about it mechanical wise other than what ive already covered. Its going to need front shocks, they are pretty easy to push down, the rear has air shocks and they seem to hold air just fine. The car has what I think is a set of camaro wheels and one center cap is missing. The tires are all worn out and will have to be replaced immediately. They hold air fine but arent any good. All the glass in this car seems good and they have a pretty nice tint on them with only minor peeling on one of them. The windows are manuel as are the locks. The carpet is decent, far from new but driver quality. The upper part of the door panels are real good but the bottom part have faded quite a bit. They make a paint for them that works really good but are fine as a driver just as they are. The seats are swivel buckets and it also has a center console. The seats are actually pretty decent as is the console. The bucket seat, console interior is pretty scarice on these cars. Headline seems good also It needs the passenger side seatbelt, drivers is there. The dash has had one of those molded covers put on it and it has one crack in the middle of it, still looks pretty decent. Someone has taken the radio out so the opening is there for a cd player or what ever you chose. The tilt wheel is nice and tight which is also rare for these cars. The paint is driver quality, it has several small scratches and nicks from years of use. It has had some rust repair in the past but doesnt seem to be coming back through so it must not have been very bad. Wheel wells seem good and the bedfloor is solid. There is some rust underneath as all these cars have, right rear floor pan is getting bad but the others seem pretty good, some better than others. The frame has no rust!! The paint looks decent to have been off the road for awhile and it still has a decent shine but not real nice when you get up close It has the rally or super sport stripes painted on the hood and a pinstrip going down the side which both make this Elcamino stand out.. The trim around the bed is dented up pretty good and the piece for the top of the tailgate is missing. Also the tailgate is dented up pretty good so you may want to look for a replacement if your going to do this car up right. Grille is good, rear bumper is driver quality with a few small dents in it, front bumper is messed up on the drivers side corner, think the pics show this. It has dual exhaust but one side has the tailpipe broken loose from the muffler which is an easy fix. Thats about all I know to tell you so if you have other questions just ask. Guys this is a very sharp car and as I said it needs very little work to make a really nice daily driver or weekend cruiser. Also remember it is a 77 model so be realistic and dont expect 07 condition. If you have less than 10 positive feedback you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. Sorry but tired of all the non paying bidders and scams. I also reserve the right to end this auction early as I have the car for sale locally. Its a grat car guys so dont miss out. Checkout my 100% positive feedback which is well over 500. You dont get great feedback like that if you lie and cheat people, I tell it like it is. This Elcamino has a clear WV title ready to go. Thanks for looking and good luck should you decide to bid on this great looking Elcamino. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit at auctions end and the balance in full within 3 days. I will work with your shipper and the cr can sit here awhile as long as its paid for according to auction terms. REMEMBER THIS IS A 3 DAY AUCTION ONLY!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
