Up for auction with a very reasonable reserve is a very nice 1984 Chevrolet El Camino with Factory 305 V8 and Turbo 350 automatic transmission with 166K. Car has power windows, power door locks with remote key fob, and power driver seat.

This El Camino has been well maintained with a lot of custom touches. All new interior, consisting of a very nice combination of black vinyl and suede. Seats were completely redone, door panels are all new, custom covered rear panel, new black carpet and full black suede headliner and visors. Very nice sounding stereo system with a Clarion nz500 flip out 7" touch-screen radio with iPod integration. The rear speakers are Alpine 6x9’s with some JL 4x6’s in the dash. Behind the hidden compartment is an Alpine type R subwoofer powered by an Alpine PDX amp that sounds very nice.

As for the suspension, just about everything has been upgraded or replaced. It has Hotchkis lowering springs and Edelbrock shocks on all 4 corners. Both front and rear sway bars were upgraded with Addco’s. New upper and lower front control arms, new idler arm, new pitman arm, new center link, new inner and outer tie rods with Edelbrock billet adjusters as well as all new ball joints. When the suspension was rebuilt the car also had new front disc brakes with new drilled and slotted rotors and a throaty sounding 2-1/2" Flowmaster true dual exhaust.

Wheels are staggered chrome IROC’s - 16x7 up front and 16x8 on the rear. Rear tires still have plenty of tread but the front are in need of replacing.

The body is in overall good shape the previous owner painted it and did a color matched linex bedliner the paint is not show quality and has some hazy areas but overall looks good and the car gets compliments everywhere it is driven. Body had typical dents and dings of a 20 year old car and the bed shows wear from being used to haul parts around town and could use some touch up. All faded lenses were replaced with new, at the same time a new billet grill and new chrome headlight bezels were also installed. The new lenses and chrome really make this El Camino stand out from most others and people always compliment it.

Carb was rebuilt three months ago, also recently installed a new headlight dimmer switch, new ignition switch, new fan switch, new blower motor and all fluids have been recently changed. Just had new plugs, new air filter and an oil change. This car has been well maintained and is ready for a new owner.

Car is being sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied. I recommend that any potential bidder come see this car in person so there are no surprises. If you have any questions or would like to come check it out feel free to call me. 336.339.6867

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
