For sale a very nice 1971 elcamino with an older restoration, but still in very good condition.  I purchased the car from local owners who purchased the car in Edinburgh Indiana,  the car originally was purchased in Zionsville Indiana new.  The car runs and drives excellent, one the best driving older vehicles I've owned, would not  be afraid to drive anywhere.  Everything works as it should, the only origianl intierior piece missing is the radio,  the current radio is an older cheap am/fm cassette player (maybe 80's).  The following is a listing of what has been done and what could be improved.

 

Good:

* Overall paint is excellent with the exception of some surface rust in the bed(mainly from scracths). the only other spot of rust is on the passagers side right below the chrome piece between the vinyl roof and paint(this is surface rust only).  I do have the exact antique green factory paint to fix both..

* Metal under vinyl top is solid no rust.

* floor pans are excellent shape, I checked when putting in the new dark green carpet.

* New elcamino seat covers, two tone SS style.

* Recently Upgraded electronic ignition, carborator and intake. ( i do have the original distributar and valve covers)

* New custom exhaust with flowmasters from maifolds and nicely tucked under the rear bumpers,  sounds and looks great.

* Tire are excellent condition Hoosier brand! with Police center caps ,  I do have the original centercaps.

* The car does does not leak, smoke or make noises.  A very solid quite running 350.

* New master cylinder and front disc pads

* New battery, plugs and pvc valve.

* New front shocks

* Metal Cowl induction hood with new hood pins.

* Underneath of car is super clean, no rust that I could find.

* All chorme is excellent condition, no dings.

Needs:

* A/C is working, bloing cool , but not cold air.

* Car drives straight, but steering wheel is off center.  Needs alignment. I can have aligned prior to pick up.

 

I would consider trades for older C10(65-70), Corvettes(70-80) or Harley Road King.

Please feel free to conatct me with any questions.

This is a super nice car, a great driver to car shows or drives.  WIth a little work can be a show winner!

Thanks for looking

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
