For your consideration:..........  ARIZONA EL CAMINO. NOW IN IDAHO..........!
One very clean, straight, El Camino SS Tribute. New paint, 350/350....... cloned out to be a Super Sport with SS 396 emblems on fenders.
Odometer reads 46,000 miles, but I believe there's only @ 23,000 since rebuild. Runs Very strong.
Rebuilt 350 tranny with Stage II shift kit, done by local transmission shop in June 2013,
and a tranny cooler was also added.
Painted 3 years ago, by local professional Paint and Body shop. Paint is just beautiful, NO dings, dents, or scratches. I've included 2 pics (red) of Elky on the day I bought it. It shows the hard fiberglass tonneau cover on it. Drives great, front end, steering is tight, rear air shocks, and more. There is some minor paint blistering behind the driver's side rear wheel well.

NEW:
New SS Cowl hood.
New Aluminum intake.
New Aluminum water pump, high volume.
New Chrome 600 cfm carb.
New Chrome Edelbrock air cleaner.
New Corrosion resistance alternator.
New front headlamps, Front,and rear lights, lenses, etc.
New black grille.

New fuel pump.
New Hood pins.
New door sill plates..
New wiper arms/blades.

New chrome bumpers. Rear needs to be mounted, have all hardware.
New stainless everything front to rear.
New kick panels........ the ones that accept 6X9 speakers.

Sits on nice, newer, Super Sport wheels, with B.F Goodrich raised white letter tire.15 " Rear tires are wide! I can list exact sizes a.s.a.p.
New Dual Flowmasters. 50's series. They run, then drop behind rear end for a clean look.
Sound deadener.
New Powder coated headers.
Electronic ignition.
New Optima Red Top. ( needs new battery tray...... it's corroded from previous battery acid).
All new rubber seals for doors, wing vent, under hood, hood to cowl, etc.
New hood heat insulation.
All fluids changed, and freshly tuned. NO leaks. Everything works as should. The only thing I would change is the dash bezel It's not cracked, shows age, but could simply be redone.
Sweep speedo, non a/c.
Bench seat needs re-upholstered.
Heater fan makes a weird noise, but I never use it. Driven in summer, only after streets have been washed of salt.
If your unfamiliar with El Caminos, there's a storage compartment behind driver's seat. The edges of the square opening was slightly rusted but was painted with a rust inhibitor. It can be covered with new compartment by buyer (not included).

All brand NEW interior from OPGI still in boxes, door panels, water shields, window/door handles, springs, spring washers, arm rests, interior/exterior mirrors, headliner, wind lace, sail panels, carpet kit, rear view mirror, sun visors, door, window, and wing vent handles, the list goes on. The door panels, and carpet kit are the top of the line ones. Everything to finish interior is there. I was going to dye dash to match all new black interior. Thousands in receipts. You finish inside, with all the new parts that go with it. After that, this car would blend right in on a showroom floor.
I literally have $$ THOUSANDS$$ in receipts, not to mention shop labor rates. Someone will make out like a bandit, but more important, very pleased. No disappointments.

Car looks, and runs GREAT. A real head turner, and a true American muscle car. I'm basically the 2nd owner of this Arizona Elky. Assembled in Van Nuys, California. Lots of receipts, and build sheet.

The bed (does have a few dents), was protected by a hard fiberglass tonneau cover, (Protect-O-Top). I still have this serialized numbered f/glass cover if you have any interest. They are very expensive these days to fit that exact year, would look great painted black. Light surface rust on under carriage, (a car this age..... they all have some, NOTHING major, nothing even close to rotted thru, it's just your typical light surface rust. I've seen 10 yr. cars with twice as much, so have no concerns about rust issues.), but mostly that black tarry stuff that possibly came from factory. I could easily scrape it off, and shine it up with rattle can paint, but just didn't want to conceal anything.
Pics really don't show true color. I will add one a.s.a.p. It's a light metallic, blue with gold specs. Pics were taken on overcast morning. When in the sunlight you can see the gold flakes better. The paint on bed is presentable. It was never color sanded, as I planned on the "spray in bed liner". For the buyer, they'll obviously see there is no rust. I didn't want to spray it, because I felt a potential buyer would be skeptical over covering up any "sins". Have you ever wondered what lies underneath some of these spray in liners???

If you're thinking of restoring a 1970......... consider this one. It's mostly finished, and I know for certain I will be taking a loss. This El Camino was purchased new, and was a one owner who worked on transformers for the power company, and I'm guessing he was in his 30's when he purchased it. After owner passed away he handed down the vehicle to his daughter, who kept it in a barn. I bought it because it was so original, but mostly because it was RUST FREE, since it lived it's life in Arizona. Engine compartment needs detailing, It's rather dirty. LASER straight...... body lines are perfect. It's one honest El Camino, and I feel the original owner took good care of it, unlike some El Caminos which have been abused over the years. Never wrecked, and it shows.


I will change pics soon. The ones posted DO NOT show true color, it's a really nice ice blue, with gold flakes. One VERY small chip where hood meets head light housing, approx less than 1/2" chip another much smaller chip lust above rear window. Easily fixed, but just wanted to disclose that. NOTE: All NEW interior is BLACK. Dash is perfect, no problems mechanically, electrically, etc. Doors open, and close freely, no play, or sagging door hinges. With the brand new 600 cfm carb, this gets up, and goes, please just don't expect it to be a race car, nor a rust bucket. It's not. Not butchered, or hacked. You finish interior. Bid with confidence. Seller has the right to end auction at any time. Hagerty will insure this car at $25,000.00. Feel free to check with them. I'm only asking the listed price due to health reasons. I'm not getting any better, and have sold all my other cars in my small collection, and plan to have only one 4X4. That's all this "old guy" needs.

Note: I have owned the vehicle for approx. 6 years. It's been my Sunday driver, and it's a fun ride. Always get waves, and thumbs up, guys naturally like, women LOVE it,(they drool....lol). I've only put on about 1,000 miles since I've owned it, I am disabled, and don't drive much. All the new engine parts listed are about 10 months old, but weren't put on in until May 2013. When intake manifold was swapped out, my mechanic expressed how clean the inside was. I think the valve covers are a little cheesy looking, I should have gone with something else......oh well. Strong running.Wires shown in one pic. are from an old 8 track stereo I removed. I do have the brand new fender tip, and cowl hood stainless trim. I don't have the trim for rear, and front glass. Paint is nicer than most I've seen. Never driven on freeway, and driven only in summer. Never wrecked, and no bondo. You'd be hard pressed to find such a straight Elky, then do all I've done to it. Brake booster is rusty, and engine bay just needs to be detailed. I encourage anyone who is interested to call.  Car will be sold "As is, where is" with no warranty. Buyer please call me to help assist with your shipping company. License plates not included. When Cashier's check clears, you get the vehicle. Car will not leave until paid for. Clear title in hand.  I am trying to very detailed, and honest as I can. Thank you for taking the time to read my ad. Buy with confidence, and good luck.

This Elky would make an awesome CHRISTMAS gift for that El Camino lover in your life.


Bidders please give me a call if you if you have any questions, or concerns. My name is Mike, Ph. #: 208 968 9729

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

2022 Chevy Silverado HD gains Multi-Flex tailgate as an option

Mon, May 17 2021

GM is spreading the Multi-Pro Tailgate love around its truck lineup, and the Silverado HD is the latest pickup to gain the option. Just like the 2021 Silverado 1500, Chevy uses the “Multi-Flex” name for it in the HD, eschewing GMCÂ’s “Multi-Pro” branding for the bowtie vehicles. YouÂ’ll be able to option the tailgate on 2022 model year Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models. ItÂ’ll be available optionally in every trim, so thereÂ’s no need to grab a more expensive trim to gain access to the trick tailgate — youÂ’re also not required to take it in higher trims. Functionality is the same as the standard Silverado and Sierra.  The primary gate opens and closes like any other tailgate out there. ThereÂ’s a primary gate load stopper that allows you to put the gate down and still keep things from flying out the back (it can also be arranged such that the load stopper is at a higher height by using the inner gateÂ’s stopper). The inner gate folds down perpendicular to the ground to allow closer access to the bed. A full-width step is available if you fold both “gates” down and pop out the inner panel. And lastly, the inner gate can be lowered to use it as a small work space. You can watch the short video above to get a quick run through of all the positions, or scroll through the gallery at the top of this post. Besides the tailgate, Chevy says the 2022 Silverado HD is gaining a new Greenstone Metallic exterior paint color. Other changes for 2022 were not detailed at this time, but Chevy says the trucks with this tailgate should be available sometime this summer. Related video:

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
