1959 Chevrolet El Camino Restored With Many Nos Parts One Owner 427 Big Block 59 on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
|
Documented one owner car from 1959 to 2012. Sold new in Denver, Colorado and has been here since. The original owner enjoyed this ElCamino so much that he went to the local Chevrolet dealer in the mid 60's and purchased all new bed stainless, side stainless, headlight bezels, grill and tail light bezel then put them in his attic knowing he would one day restore his ElCamino. The car was driven occasionally all through the 1980 when it was parked. In 2007 he decided to restore it. Upon having a concourse body and paint job done the NOS parts were installed! None of the trim parts are reproduced for 59 or 60 ElCaminos, making these cars very difficult to restore. With this car having all NOS trim, sets it apart from the rest. All of the chrome plating was sent out for show chrome. The interior was completed in correct impala materials made by Cars Inc. It has a modern digital stereo fitting in the stock location in the dash and also has a 15" Impala steering wheel. The chassis was detailed and all suspension parts were rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints etc. Four wheel power disc brakes were installed. A fully rebuilt fuel injected 427 was mated to a fresh TH400 automatic transmission. The power steering was upgraded to a 605 steering box. The sunbrella toneau cover is snapped on with small brackets that do not require holes to be drilled in the bed stainless. The inside of the bed is body worked and nicely painted body color, then only the ribbed part of the bed covered in outdoor gray carpet. It looks very professional. The rear window is original and in nice condition, the rest of the glass is new. This car was done to a very high level that is rarely seen on 59 ElCaminos. As restoration costs sore, this car is selling for less than it cost to restore. It is ready to enjoy and needs nothing...... Show quality, fast, fun to drive and reliable. This is an auction, so I will not be disclosing the reserve. Look at my feedback and I have been a Ebay member for 14 years. This should give you confidence in bidding on my car and knowing its described in a honest fashion. If you have questions, please contact me at 303 475-4544

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
