1978 El Camino Ss on 2040-cars

Year:1978 Mileage:129760
Location:

Wilmington, Delaware, United States

Wilmington, Delaware, United States

Interior is in very good condition, has a Pioneer AM / FM / Cassette Stereo, with Radio Shack rear speakers. Springs, Shocks and Trailer Hitch are almost new, they came off my 86 El Camino. Comes with set of studded snow tires on the rims., Stainless Steel brake lines from Pro-Tube, custom 7 piece set still new in the box.  
Car is being sold "AS IS". 

Excellent project car, I don't have a lot of information on it, I bought it a couple years ago to restore but the guy I bought it from didn't know anything about it's history either. The body is in pretty bad shape with rust in all the normal places. Most of the rust is towards the rear, the quarter panels may need to be replaced.  I see a couple little holes in the bed, I hadn't noticed them before but  I have kept it covered for most of the 3 + years I've had it so maybe they were under the bed liner and I just hadn't notice them. 

I will try to answer any questions, but this is an "As Is" project car, I really don't want to sell it but I have too many projects and too many cars.  I am not going to take it apart to find out what gears are in it or what is stamped on the block. I just don't have the time, sorry.  
I think this is going to make an excellent car and that someone is going to get very lucky, again I just don't have the time to do everything. 

Motor would appear to be a Goodwrench crate motor, valve covers say 350 but it could be a 305. I drove the car home when I bought it. My intention was to get the body work and under carriage issues done and then rebuild and stroke the engine or put a crate 5.7 HO engine in it before it got the final paint. 

After I checked everything out I decided to fix the brake lines, do a tune up and clean up the wiring so that if I had to drive it to anywhere for any reason it would be running and safe. When I was doing the tune up, I didn't like the way they had rigged up the plug on the distributor cap so I pulled all the wiring off and rewired the plug. Apparently when I had the distributor cap off addressing the plug I missed the ground connection from the ignition module.  It wasn't firing after I replaced the cap and wires so I opted to wait to troubleshoot it until I had a little more time.  Long story short when I found the time, a year later, the battery was dead so it should still run with no other real issues but again I don't have the time to repair it and if I did make the time, the price of the car would at least triple.  

Rear view mirror needs to be glued back on. There's no battery and when I went out to check the mileage I noticed the knob on window crank is missing.

If final payment is not received within the agreed time period deposit will be forfeited. Unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of auction end.  If vehicle is not picked up within the agreed time limit any deposits or payments will be forfeited and the vehicle will be re-listed.  Please contact seller prior to bidding if you have any questions.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
