RE-LISTING due to non paying bidder.......... with lower reserve.

One very straight, clean 1965 El Camino. RARE factory options. Basically a one owner car from California, ended up in Idaho by original owner in his early 80's.

FACTORY remote driver's mirror.
FACTORY AM/FM radio.
FACTORY A/C,
FACTORY TILT WHEEL,
FACTORY SOFT RAY GLASS (light green), MINT CONDITION.
FACTORY VINYL TOP, (how many of those do you see? Needs replacing though).
V8 327. Runs fine.
TURBO GLIDE Tranny........ Just serviced, and shifts PERFECT.
FACTORY Power Steering.
FACTORY Power Brakes.
FACTORY 12 Bolt Rear End.

After market cruise control, and tach. Original color is SIERRA TAN, repainted, a root beer brown. The bed is straight......... protected by a serialized hard fiberglass tonneau cover. Old school Torque Thrust rims, with Toyo tires. All stainless is there, and straight.

CONS: Has minor dent by driver's side tail light, an easy fix, and has a primered tailgate with '66 emblem. One very fixable rust spot when you open passenger door, below door hinge, on top of rocker panel. Another small spot developing on panel behind driver's seat. Dimple in grille, and front bumper has some dents, otherwise straight. ALL ORIGINAL. A RESTORER'S/COLLECTOR'S dream! (NOTE: That is not rust on windshiels post).

PROS: The original owner from California was worried about rust issues being in snow country, and had the entire undercarriage heavily undercoated........... "twice", because he was so worried about snow. Snow doesn't (always) cause rust! Salt does. That was prior to the State of Idaho laying both salt on freeways, and Magnesium Chloride at intersections in city limits in 2002? So this Elky is pretty much RUST FREE. I have the original carb...... 4bbl, which was replaced with a Holley 4bbl electric choke, the original owner's "PROTECT-O-PLATE", and owner's manual. So, if you're looking to restore a '65, this one may be for you. Does not have typical rusted out quarters, or fenders.

I will add more pics soon.
Will assist with shipping, clear Idaho title in hand. Paypal or Cashier's Check..............No payment, No Elky. Sold "as is", "where is". Buyer's responsibility to arrange shipping. Seller reserves right to end listing at any time. No disappointments here, so serious bidders feel free to call with any questions at 2 zero 8 968 9729......... leave a message after the Magic Jack greeting! I'll return your call. Good luck bidding.

ADDITIONAL:
To answer a few phone questions: No, the A/C is not ICE cold, but it's all there, it does blow cool in my 80 degree weather. There's a lot of play in the steering, an easy fix.
Paint looks WAY better in pics. than it really is. In dire need of COMPLETE paint, and vinyl top. Has rear air shocks, but has slow leak. I will "try" to fix, or replace before listing ends. Yes, the
tonneau cover opens, closes, and locks perfectly. It's in terrific shape for it's age, having only one minor chip. All panels are straight, and I cannot find any bondo anywhere. Quarters, fenders,
and floor boards are ROCK solid. All stainless is there, and very nice....... just needs polishing. Lighted glove compartment. Doors are solid, having no sagging hinges. Inner quarters are very solid. All glass is mint.
Bed has some dents on panel below driver's rear glass, otherwise VERY impressive. Try not to have any doubts about having to replace a typical '65 bed, beat up undercarriage, or rust issues.
This Elk fires up, rides, and sounds great. NO mechanical, or electrical issues. Nothing has been "hacked". What you see, is what you'll get. Pretty much bone stock. NOT a Show Car, or Hotrod (yet), but
the winning bidder will def. be proud to own, restore, or drive as is. I threw in a pic. of rare 1965 Z16, to show what this El Camino could like with a little imagination, a few thousand $$$,
talent, free time, and sweat. Nothing is perfect on these older cars. If you have a "zero" next to your Username, you'll have to call me prior to bidding. I hope I've described this '65 "Diamond in the Rough" as honest
as possible. I just want another fellow "Chevy Lover" to be happy.
NO disappointments here. Now is your time to call with any questions, or concerns before listing ends. Bid with confidence. GOOD LUCK................

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale Â• Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million Â• Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
