1969 Chevrolet El Camino for restoration.  Car was originally dover white with a black bench seat interior. It now has bucket seats.

The Good

Car runs drives and stops.  I have moved it around in my driveway but have not driven the car on the road because the tires are in poor shape.

350 engine runs well, starts right up and does not smoke.  Looks clean inside by looking thru the oil fill cap.  Oil was just changed.  Could use a little tune up and adjusting to run perfect as it was sitting for a while.  Has HEI distributor and quadrajet 4 barrel carb.  No exhaust, open headers.  Has the big radiator in it and the belts and hoses are in good shape.  Power steering works very well. 

350 block is an 010 casting

Power Drum Brakes

350 Turbo Trans engages reverse and drive fine.  Fluid looks clean.

10 Bolt rear end, I do not know what gears or if it is a posi or not.  It does have new rear upper control arms and new rear boxed lower control arms.

New fuel tank installed.

SS hood in good shape

Roof panels are solid

Bucket seats

All glass is good with the exception of the windshield

Front steel inner fenders in good shape.

The Bad

I tried to take photos of the rusted areas as best as I could.  The car will need both quarters, floor pans, drivers rocker patched, drivers door patched, rear outer wheel houses, inner rear wheel houses may be able to be patched, drivers front fender patched, passenger fender patched or replaced, small area on cowl by body tag has a few pin holes, bed floor patched, front frame patched at steering box and idler arm area.

Brake work in the drive way but will need gone over before driving on the road.

The car does come with a new passenger quarter and passenger quarter patch panel.  I have the original passenger door that has good glass and regulators in it.  The passenger door on the car is pretty solid. 

Drivers door opens and closes fine on both sides, passenger door opens fine from the inside, does not open from the outside.  It does rub the front fender when opening and needs adjusted.

The car would be a great project to restore or turn into a rat rod with some work. Car will be sold as is with no warranties and has been described to the best of my knowledge.  Please ask all questions prior to bidding.  Please call to make an appointment to view the car prior to bidding.  Please ask for more pictures of certain areas prior to bidding.  Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There 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.
