1959 Elcamino Street Hot Rat Rod 59 Chevy Chevrolet El Camino Til New Years Day on 2040-cars

 PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION TO UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, BEFORE BIDDING OR OFFERING. Without wheels/tires in picture, and hood scoop, $300 less. You'll get roller wheels and the hood piece. Now, here's the details. Over 10 years ago, I bought a stripped 59 Elcamino with no interior, but complete otherwise. Sold the old fashioned motor/trans (not sure if they were original), bought a 1982 Chevy pickup, slid the frame under the original X frame, welded them together, made braces where they didn't meet, and drove it and had it inspected every year after. Including the initial required inspection it had to get for the reconstructed title. DON'T BE SCARED OF THE RECONSTRUCTED TITLE. It is only reconstructed because of the alterations I made, not because of any accidents. The title itself no longer states 1959 Chevrolet, it is just stamped "reconstructed" multiple times. It is traced to the El by a new VIN plate issued by Penndot that was riveted to the upper firewall. But it is still currently insured as a custom 59 Elcamino by Grundy Worldwide for about $250 a year full coverage including towing. The body is all original, from what I can tell, and is starting to get a few rust bubbles here and there. Noticable only close up, so far. The "teeth" grille is in now, but I also have the original grille in great condition that goes with it. The motor is a 1973 Chevy Nova 350 4 barrel Edelbrock carb with HEI distributor. The transmission is a mid 70's Turbo 350 with non lockup converter. The rear is from a 1968 Nova and is a positraction unit. The entire functional frame is a 1982 Chevy 2WD pickup truck frame from a truck that was inspected and driven regularly by it's previous owner, until he didn't want it anymore. That's also where the motor and trans came from. The interior was amateur redone. Flame headliner, door panels, and floor mats. Currently has a bench seat in it from a late 80's pickup, where the seat frame was altered to sit lower and match the interior. Not ripped, torn, or busted, but doesn't match, so I threw a blanket on it for now. Really just needs a seat cover to match. Dash has original speedometer, fuel, and temp gauges that appear to work good. Aftermarket battery and oil pressure gauges mounted in the other two dash pods. Tachometer is mounted in the Bud can on the side of the hood scoop. Hood scoop is cutout and functional, but if you want it off, I still have the hood piece I cut out, and it can be welded back in and bodyworked to perfection. everything on this car/truck works. In the back, I cut out the wheel humps in the bed, and flattened them out because it sits high enough that they are no longer needed. The floor was custom made by someone before me. I removed the "hump" as it's no longer needed because of the height. The custom made bed cover is one piece fiberglass, and opens like a hood. I welded in hood hinges. Tailgate still opens and closes. That's about all I can tell you. Any questions left, ask. It is currently PA inspected until 09/14. Rims are Cragar S/S 15X10 rear and 15X8 front. Rear tires are new. Fronts are good used. Reverse lights are under rear bumper. ************BONUS*********** I have almost enough extra parts to practically build another 59 Elcamino. New fenders, new doors, new quarters, good used tailgate, used gauges, trim, glass, just about everything but a frame and hood. for an extra $2000 (firm) I will include them all if wanted. If not, just buy the vehicle and I'll sell the parts seperately. Parts will NOT be sold seperately unless the new owner doesn't want them. You can get me at FIVEsevenZERO sevenFOURzero ONEtwoFOURsix, or TONYKL68 at (opposite of cold)mail dot see oh em. All in small case letters. WANT MORE BIGGER AND BETTER PICTURES? Send a e-address and I'll send them.
