For your consideration:.......... ARIZONA EL CAMINO. NOW IN IDAHO..........!
One very clean, straight, El Camino SS Tribute. New paint, 350/350....... cloned out to be a Super Sport with SS 396 emblems on fenders.
Odometer reads 46,000 miles, but I believe there's only @ 23,000 since rebuild. Runs Very strong.
Rebuilt 350 tranny with Stage II shift kit, done by local transmission shop in June 2013, and a tranny cooler was also added.
Painted 3 years ago, by local professional Paint and Body shop. Paint is just beautiful, NO dings, dents, or scratches. I've included 2 pics (red) of Elky on the day I bought it. It shows the hard fiberglass tonneau cover on it. Drives great, front end, steering is tight, rear air shocks, and more. There is some minor paint blistering behind the driver's side rear wheel well.

NEW:
New SS Cowl hood.
New Aluminum intake.
New Aluminum water pump, high volume.
New Chrome 600 cfm carb.
New Chrome Edelbrock air cleaner.
New Corrosion resistance alternator.
New front headlamps, Front,and rear lights, lenses, etc.
New black grille.
New fuel pump.
New Hood pins.
New door sill plates..
New wiper arms/blades.
New chrome bumpers. Rear needs to be mounted, have all hardware.
New stainless everything front to rear.
New kick panels........ the ones that accept 6X9 speakers.
Sits on nice, newer, Super Sport wheels, with B.F Goodrich raised white letter tire.15 " Rear tires are wide! I can list exact sizes a.s.a.p.
New Dual Flowmasters. 50's series. They run, then drop behind rear end for a clean look.
Sound deadener.
New Powder coated headers.
Electronic ignition.
New Optima Red Top. ( needs new battery tray...... it's corroded from previous battery acid).
All new rubber seals for doors, wing vent, under hood, hood to cowl, etc.
New hood heat insulation.
All fluids changed, and freshly tuned. NO leaks. Everything works as should. The only thing I would change is the dash bezel It's not cracked, shows age, but could simply be redone.
Sweep speedo, non a/c.
Bench seat needs re-upholstered.
Heater fan makes a weird noise, but I never use it. Driven in summer, only after streets have been washed of salt.
If your unfamiliar with El Caminos, there's a storage compartment behind driver's seat. The edges of the square opening was slightly rusted but was painted with a rust inhibitor. It can be covered with new compartment by buyer (not included).

All brand NEW interior from OPGI still in boxes, door panels, water shields, window/door handles, springs, spring washers, arm rests, interior/exterior mirrors, headliner, wind lace, sail panels, carpet kit, rear view mirror, sun visors, door, window, and wing vent handles, the list goes on. The door panels, and carpet kit are the top of the line ones. Everything to finish interior is there. I was going to dye dash to match all new black interior. Thousands in receipts. You finish inside, with all the new parts that go with it. After that, this car would blend right in on a showroom floor. I literally have $$ THOUSANDS$$ in receipts, not to mention shop labor rates. Someone will make out like a bandit, but more important, very pleased. No disappointments.

Car looks, and runs GREAT. A real head turner, and a true American muscle car. I'm basically the 2nd owner of this Arizona Elky. Assembled in Van Nuys, California. Lots of receipts, and build sheet.
The bed (does have a few dents), was protected by a hard fiberglass tonneau cover, (Protect-O-Top). I still have this serialized numbered f/glass cover if you have any interest. They are very expensive these days to fit that exact year, would look great painted black. Light surface rust on under carriage, (a car this age..... they all have some, NOTHING major, nothing even close to rotted thru, it's just your typical light surface rust. I've seen 10 yr. cars with twice as much, so have no concerns about rust issues.), but mostly that black tarry stuff that possibly came from factory. I could easily scrape it off, and shine it up with rattle can paint, but just didn't want to conceal anything.
Pics really don't show true color. I will add one a.s.a.p. It's a light metallic, blue with gold specs. Pics were taken on overcast morning. When in the sunlight you can see the gold flakes better. The paint on bed is presentable. It was never color sanded, as I planned on the "spray in bed liner". For the buyer, they'll obviously see there is no rust. I didn't want to spray it, because I felt a potential buyer would be skeptical over covering up any "sins". Have you ever wondered what lies underneath some of these spray in liners???

If you're thinking of restoring a 1970......... consider this one. It's mostly finished, and I know for certain I will be taking a loss. This El Camino was purchased new, and was a one owner who worked on transformers for the power company, and I'm guessing he was in his 30's when he purchased it. After owner passed away he handed down the vehicle to his daughter, who kept it in a barn. I bought it because it was so original, but mostly because it was RUST FREE, since it lived it's life in Arizona. Engine compartment needs detailing, It's rather dirty. LASER straight...... body lines are perfect. It's one honest El Camino, and I feel the original owner took good care of it, unlike some El Caminos which have been abused over the years. Never wrecked, and it shows.

I will change pics soon. The ones posted DO NOT show true color, it's a really nice ice blue, with gold flakes. One VERY small chip where hood meets head light housing, approx less than 1/2" chip another much smaller chip lust above rear window. Easily fixed, but just wanted to disclose that. NOTE: All NEW interior is BLACK. Dash is perfect, no problems mechanically, electrically, etc. Doors open, and close freely, no play, or sagging door hinges. With the brand new 600 cfm carb, this gets up, and goes, please just don't expect it to be a race car, nor a rust bucket. It's not. Not butchered, or hacked. You finish interior. Bid with confidence. Seller has the right to end auction at any time. Hagerty will insure this car at $25,000.00. Feel free to check with them. I'm only asking the listed price due to health reasons. I'm not getting any better, and have sold all my other cars in my small collection, and plan to have only one 4X4. That's all this "old guy" needs.

Note: I have owned the vehicle for approx. 6 years. It's been my Sunday driver, and it's a fun ride. Always get waves, and thumbs up, guys naturally like, women LOVE it,(they drool....lol). I've only put on about 1,000 miles since I've owned it, I am disabled, and don't drive much. All the new engine parts listed are about 10 months old, but weren't put on in until May 2013. When intake manifold was swapped out, my mechanic expressed how clean the inside was. I think the valve covers are a little cheesy looking, I should have gone with something else......oh well. Strong running.Wires shown in one pic. are from an old 8 track stereo I removed. I do have the brand new fender tip, and cowl hood stainless trim. I don't have the trim for rear, and front glass. Paint is nicer than most I've seen. Never driven on freeway, and driven only in summer. Never wrecked, and no bondo. You'd be hard pressed to find such a straight Elky, then do all I've done to it. Brake booster is rusty, and engine bay just needs to be detailed. I encourage anyone who is interested to call. Car will be sold "As is, where is" with no warranty. Buyer please call me to help assist with your shipping company. License plates not included. When Cashier's check clears, you get the vehicle. Car will not leave until paid for. Clear title in hand. I am trying to very detailed, and honest as I can. Thank you for taking the time to read my ad. Buy with confidence, and good luck.

This Elky would make an awesome CHRISTMAS gift for that El Camino lover in your life.

Bidders please give me a call if you if you have any questions, or concerns. My name is Mike, Ph. #: 208 968 9729

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
