Up for sale is my grandfathers 1972 El Camino which he purchased with 13,000 miles on it in 1973. He was a master mechanic for Chrysler Motors and was very meticulous with the maintenance on this vehicle. Oil have been changed every 3,000 miles or sooner for the entire life of the car. This vehicle has been garaged for its entire life and rarely driven since my grandfather passed away in 2002. The motor was rebuilt at 164,000 miles in 1996 and still runs perfect & strong, the carburator was rebuilt at 192,000 miles in 2000 and the transmission was rebuilt at 206,000 miles in 2005. This vehicle was completely stripped and repainted the original factory green in 2007. There is absolutely no body damage on the car and the paint is in excellent condition as seen in the photos, no cancer or rust anywhere on the body. Has the original chrome bumpers with some rusting & wear to them. Has new side mirrors, new rear view mirror, new carpet, new interior side door panels, new handles, new front grille all replaced with factory new parts in 2007. The transmission & rear end were serviced last month and there is a new battery in it. New tires, new window seals & new master cylinder also done in 2007. New A/C compressor was installed in 2008 & the transmission oil pressure switch was replaced. Vehicle will also include an additional set of Cheverolet rims, factory new fan shroud & under hood insulation not installed on vehicle. I also have all the original manuals and documentation from when the car was originally purchased. Now a run down of the small items that are wrong with the car which isnt much, the transmission main seal has minor drip, passenger side window knob missing, A/C interior unit needs repair, but will hold a charge, original dash is in tact but has a crack as seen in the photos, the original stearing wheel has a crack in it and the insturment panel clear cover needs to be removed & cleaned (it is a little dusty on the inside of the clear panel cover). Please feel free to email me with any questions on the vehicle.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
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.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
