This is a very nice 1959 Elcamino according to the VIN it started out as a six cylinder, the cowl tag says it was an eight but vin says six. Ive read online that all 59 came with the cowl tag for an eight?. This car was bought in colorado in 2000 by a friend in New Mexico, who redid the car himself. This isnt a professional restoration but still was done very nice. He replaced the quarter panels on it and did the rest of the body work on it. The black on the car has a red metalic on it , the car looks good and turns heads everywhere. The floor pans where patched but not with oem pans. He just used some steel did a nice job but its not professional. Please see the pictures. There is two cracks on the drivers right quarter also see the pics. The interior is very nice he had the seat reupholstered, new carpet, new door panels and headliner. Has power windows with the switch located on the lower extended dash/ gauge holder. The speedometer and gas guage do not work, the temp, oil and alt gauge are working. The engine decodes to being a 1965 to 1967 283, it has a 1968 0r 1969 muncie 4 speed according to the number on the housing. The engine runs out nice. The brakes need some work they stop but it has 4 wheel drum brakes with the original one hole master cylinder. The tires on the front are good, the rear have good tread but are dry rotted very bad i would not drive far on them. It has dual exhaust in almost like new condition. the under side of the vehicle was also cleaned and coated. the bed was lined with a rhino type lining not sure what brand it is. It has the california one peice bumpers with the rear bumper having the steps on it. It has a custom grill but also have the original grill that goes with the car. The stainless is decent. Im sure there is more that ive missed, Im not trying to trick or cheat anyone ive told what i know if you have more question please ask and ill check . That being said if you do not have more than10 bids on ebay please conttact me first so that i know your real and not one of these players out there. If you do not contact me i will delete you. This is not professional retoration, But it is a very good looking car and turns heads you dont need to do anything major to this Elcamino just enjouy all the attention it gets. . So let me repeat this is not a professional job . There where only 22,246 of these made so not many left out there today. I dont need to sell this car and wont give it away.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
