1964 El Camino on 2040-cars
Kingston, Tennessee, United States
|
This is a freshly restored '64 El Camino. It has a few items that I have not bought for it yet, but they are all readily available and not terribly expensive. The are the "Chevrolet" emblems on the hood and tailgate, the hood spear, a radio, license plate lights, and door lock knobs.
I did an extensive restoration on this car. I did not remove the body from the frame ( it just didn't need it), but everything else has been completely restored, replaced, or rebuilt. All surfaces underneath vehicle and inside body panels have been coated with POR 15. I'll try to list some of the new parts: quarter panels, floor pans, front and rear bumpers, complete grill kit, most emblems, exterior door handles, exterior mirrors, all locks, gas tank, drive shaft, complete dual exhaust system, aluminum radiator and electric fan, front power disc brake conversion, brake master cylinder, brake proportioning valve, wheels, tires, all new interior including seat foam, seat covers, door panels carpet, headliner,glove box liner, instrument bezel, all new instruments, shifter, steering wheel (it comes with the original restored steering wheel as well), all new rubber seals and weatherstripping. The engine and transmission have just been completely rebuilt. Transmission is a 350 turbo and engine is a 350. Some of the features of the engine rebuild are: it has the original 327 double hump heads. Flat top pistons, oem camshaft, edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley650 dual line carb, ceramic coated headers, roller rocker arms, and nice aluminum finned valve covers. The car has power steering and brakes and drives like new. It really drives wonderfully. The paint is new and very nice. The wheels are made by Newstalgia and the are 17" on front and 18" on rear. I help with shipping/delivery, but the buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. |

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
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....
