You're looking at a 1966 El Camino that came from California a few years ago. It was painted just before I got it. Although the paint job has no runs and is very shiny I would rate the paint job as driver quality, but not show quality. The transmission is thought to be the original 2 speed powerglide, which works well. The motor was completely rebuilt by Mike Lester, a man who's been rebuilding engines for over 40 years.The heads was completely gone thru as well as the complete block. It has new .040 over pistons, rings, bearings, seals, cam, etc. NO MILES since the rebuild. Being a California car there's hardly any rust. There is only one area of rust that I know of, which is behind the driver's seat next to the back of the cab = very small and an easy fix (see pic). I have parts of the chrome that goes around the back window, but I believe there may be a couple pieces missing. They are available thru Ebay. The interior needs completion. The A.C. is hooked up, but we did not charge it. The truck bed is lined with a rough coating to help protect the bed. In all for being 47 years old it's in amazing shape. Although it could be called a daily driver I could not, mainly because of the age of this truck. Compared to the work done there's very little left to make the truck a 30K+ show stopper. Of all of the years El Caminos were made this is my choice of the year made. I am not working on vehicles anymore because of my age and physical limitations. I don't plan on giving this vehicle away, but I do plan to sell this truck, so bid your best, and bid in confidence that I have not misled the condition in any way.This is a great representation of a 1966 El Camino and, hopefully will go to someone who will appreciate it for many years to come. Any questions please call Tom at 217-306-2821. The truck can be seen by appointment in Chestnut, Il. 62518. Thanks for looking!

The odometer reads 64,737 miles, but I can not verify the mileage. Besides the motor rebuild we also replaced the drag link in the steering. The steering (power steering) is in very good condition now, and will need nothing.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
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.
