This is a very special, beautiful investment grade Chevrolet Cameo. It boasts actual titled milage of only 18,586 documented miles. In the last nine years, it has only been driven less than 2000 miles. Odometer currently reads 20,111 miles.
Historically, one of the most important pickups of all time. A frame up restoration was completed by the owner of a renowned Nevada Chevrolet dealership, Airway Chevrolet. This Cameo was in the Airway Chevrolet collection for many years. There is no evidence of any panel replacement nor body repair. Absolutely a rust free, low milage, rare and incredible Cameo with all west coast history.
This was originally born a six cylinder truck. The stove bolt six was replaced with the correct 265 CID V-8. Beautifully done. This motor has only several hundred miles on it and runs remarkably smooth. Column shift manual transmission. All the original gauges are working and the mechanicals are in excellent condition. New wiring. Beautiful oak wood bed. Very good widow glass and gaskets, brakes. Rebuilt front suspension. Interior is in excellent condition. To get the most pleasure from this low milage Cameo, you have to get behind the wheel and drive it. Honestly, it feels like you were taking it fresh out of the showroom in 1955! The dual exhaust with mild resonating tunes from the old school glass pack mufflers, make you forget that the original AM radio is not working. Starts immediately with the first turn of the key.
Comparably, this rare, wonderful Cameo is listed with an extremely reasonable buy it now price. Bid with confidence. This is one of the lowest milage Chevrolet Cameo's in existence and an excellent driving vehicle. Additional photo's available upon request. Call me before 9:00PM MST at 480-734-4545 with any relevent questions or to discuss the Cameo. Sorry, not interested in trades, nor third party salesman.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who 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.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
