Ongoing project.  Reliable enough to drive everyday. 

Trying to retire and I want to pay some bills.  I've had this El Camino for almost 7 years  Purchased from an amateur customizer who did side work and he used this El Camino as his "demo" to show potential clients his work.  The paint and body work are at least 10 years old and the pictures will highlight the flaws, however, this is more of a 3 footer rather than a 10 footer.  The paint is glass smooth and shines beautifully.  If you don't want to attract attention this is not the car for you. 

The ZZ2 has less than 3,000 miles on it (I don't know how many miles on the car itself).  The ZZ2 is a Crate engine very similar to the ubiquitous ZZ4.  It has the same aluminum heads, 9.8:1 compression, full roller cam, 4 bolt mains a bulletproof crank and a square bore intake high rise manifold patterned after the LT1 Z28 design from 1970. Replacement cost around $3700.

Hi torque Mini-Starter

Grand Prix Frame stiffeners

G Body specific 9' Ford rear with Posi Center Section and 3.5 ratio with Edelbrock adjustable upper arms and boxed lowers, Hellwig Anti Sway Bar, Air Shocks and Moog Cargo Coil springs, 11" drum brakes app cost $2400.

Doug's Shorty Ceramic coated headers $550 into a 2.5" 'X' pipe.  G Force double hump crossmember  $245

Monte Carlo SS 200 4R Transmission, rebuilt 2500 RPM Converter, Hardened Input shaft and TCI constant pressure valve body ( current trans is a TH350 the 200 4R is included in the sale ) $2300.

Custom built and precision balanced driveshaft that works with both the 200 and the 350 transmissions.

3 core Radiator, new A/C Condenser, Evaporator, Compressor, Hoses for ice cold air at least $500

B&M Ratchet Shifter $125

Wheels and tires $1600.

Craftec Bed Cover $250 ( still new in box )

I could keep going but you get the drift. 

There are things that need to be done but nothing major.  The interior is presentable but not perfect. 

There are seals that need to be installed in the rear and there's a whine in the rear that could just be bearings or a backlash adjustment.  Remember this is a 9" so you pull the pumpkin and put it on the bench or bring it to your local Ford dealer and let them do it.  Probably the easiest rear in existence to set up.

My point is that if you have an El Camino or a G Body that you've been dreaming of building you could buy this car swap parts and re-sell it if you don't like the look or sell the one that you will never get around to building because you don't have the $10,000 for paint and another $10,000 for drivetrain upgrades and buy this car and proudly display it at your next local cruise.

I'm doing a "Buy It Now" because the last few times I listed cars the "winning" bidders all disappeared after casting the winning bid. 

I will answer any question honestly ( see my feedback ) just ask and I will post valid questions and answers on the listing.

This vehicle has a current NC inspection but it does not have any original emission equipment installed so be mindful of your state regulations before considering a purchase.

My Price is firm so don't waste an email asking for a better price.  I may consider a trade but need $3500 cash out of the deal.  I would consider a stock El Camino, any year or a decent old Pick Up truck.  Don't need a daily driver or a project.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
