For sale is a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino Custom. It runs and drives/breaks great, and I’ve gone through periods where I used it as a primary means of transportation. It sure is an attention getter—I can’t even go to the grocery store or gym without several people standing around it as I go to leave, asking questions, etc. I’ll miss it deeply for that reason alone.

The pics were taken outside, but it has been garage kept since day 1.

It’s not perfect. The belt sometimes squeals on start up, but it starts right up, runs and drives great. It’s got a few scratches, cracks, rust, dings etc. but nothing big or very noticeable. The dash seems to be missing some fasteners where the gauge cluster attaches. All the gauges work except for the oil lamp. No A/C or radio installed. While the headlights/taillights and blinkers work perfectly, the lights in the dash (blinker indicators, bulbs that illuminate the gauges at night, etc.) work but not consistently. The previous owner had pulled the A/C control panel out for some reason—I suppose to replace it (as you can see it sits on the column in the pictures above).

Headliner’s in great shape. One of the seats is in great shape while the other isn’t—thus I put the seat covers on both. It has the SS style dash (round gauges) and floor shifter (Hurst V-Matic 2) which I love. Windshield wipers work.

Wheels are in good shape. Lots of work done (on the suspension specifically) which I’ve attached pictures of the receipts to account for.

Model: L48, 350 CID, 4-bbl

Engine: 350 4 bolt main—casting # 3970014.

Engine ID Code: V0319TJA; Flint, MI Assembly

Vin 1D80J2B568266; Baltimore, MD Assembly

Rear Axle: CKD 0507B2, 2.73:1 – 12 Bolt (L48/350-4); Buffalo, NY Assembly

Never had access to a lift in order to identify the transmission type as the only way I know to do that is via the pan shape.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
