1959 59 Chevrolet Elcamino Custom Kustom Chopped Channeled Art 454 A/c Hot Rod on 2040-cars
Haysville, Kansas, United States
Here we have for your viewing pleasure a one of a kind radical kustom 59 el camino that I am listing for a friend of mine. Let me start by saying that if you are truly interested you should call GARY MEYERS. He's the builder and will be able to give you the most info about it. I'll give you a description of it from a fans perspective based on what I know from what I have learned from Gary. He started with the frame from a 69 chevelle wagon and then channeled the 59 elcamino down over it two inches which gave it a great stance and a comfortable ride. The whole car has been hand fabricated and not one panel was left untouched.. From the 2 and 3/4 inch chopped top with the dual frenched antennas on both sides to the pancaked hood and custom flip up side view mirror. Everywhere you look you will find subtle changes that made a dramatic change to the original body. Check out the custom fabbed headlight enclosures and custom fabbed taillight enclosures. Very COOL !!! Both the front and rear bumpers have been custom made from very thick plate and then chromed to be functional. Both the front and the rear of the car feature custom made roll pans that add to the clean flowing lines of the car. Look closer and you'll see the custom made bed enclosure that utilizes the roof skin from a van. Underneath that is the gas tank and ample storage for your luggage that you access from behind the custom seats. There's a lot to see on the outside so take your time and look at the pics closer. The more you look the more you'll see. The car has a great stance and an AWESOME PROFILE. Moving to the inside you will see that everything there is custom as well. The console is handformed steel that rolls around into seat enclosures. The console has a retractable cover and houses the shifter and other controls which leave the dash with a very clean and flowing look. You'll be riding in comfort thanks to the vintage heat and a/c unit that Gary installed. This is a driver and with that in mind Gary installed a 454 backed by a turbo 400 that moves the elcamino effortlessly down the road. It's rollin' on Diamondback whitewall radials and torque thrust wheels. everything is topped off with a custom R&M deep purple paint job with an awesome gold accent color. Keep in mind that this is a 12 year old build that has been driven. It's starting to show some wear and tear here and there but it is still so cool and looks so awesome that it was once again featured in a magazine. Because of the wear and tear Gary has priced this amazing one of a kind custom at a ridiculously low price so you'll be able to freshen it up or you could do what I would do and just drive it and enjoy all of the attention your gonna get.Well that about sums up about all I can tell you about it. Can you tell from my description that I love this car?? I know you will too so if your serious please hit up Gary for all the details. He can be reached at 316-570-8950. Buyer is responsible for setting up and paying for shipping but I will do what I can on my end to help you out. Payment to be made in the form of a wire transfer or cash in hand.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
