If you're looking for an affordable ElCamino that runs and drives with a nice list of options, this is it! with a small list of repairs, you'll be on the road and ready to drive cross-country!

This is a 1984 "WHITE GOLD" edition SS with full gauge dash, tilt wheel, cruise control, completely intact and possibly working A/C, sunroof, a very presentable interior, a rust free bed that has been treated to RHINOLINER, aftermarket aluminum wheels [center caps not there, and I don't have original wheels FYI]

LOOK AT THE PICS, THEY WILL LIKELY ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS! FOR THE STARTING BID, AND WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FINAL PRICE- IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND A BETTER QUICK-FIX ELCAMINO THAT IS TURN-KEY! HERE'S THE "BAD" stuff, everything else that is good is very evident in the photos, but I'll mention most of the good as well... the driver side door issues: pull strap needs the decorative cap and screw, hinge pin bushings are sloppy, and outer door handle is cracked. DRIVER'S REAR QUATER has a significant [about 3-4" diameter] dent on the corner by the tailgate. RANDOM rust along the bottom edges of rockers, quarter panel, and some spots coming through over the rear wheel lips, rear brake line needs to be replaced, or possibly rear wheel cylinder- I'd bet on line- need to top off rear zone of master rather often- its last drive was about 25 miles and it needed a refill. Paint is about 90% original, with factory "WHITE GOLD" decals and stripes, some touch ups over the rear wheel well, can see in pics, wrong color gold spray paint..and it needs a new headliner, as with all GM's, THAT'S THE BAD, AND WHY ITS SOOOO CHEAP!!! Some good points to consider: all the factory options listed above, THIS WAS OWNED BY AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN MOST OF ITS LIFE, USED REGULARLY, HENCE THE MINOR RUST. THAT SAID HE ALSO HAD NO REASON TO MODIFY ANYTHING!! All of the cruise control, A/C compontents/system, and all emissions control BS is there... the only modification is see is he or someone later, drill "breathing holes" along the top edge of the air cleaner. has a recent factory replacement "fake dual exhaust" 1 in muffler, 2 out, with chrome tips.

This car/pickup/ElCamino was daily driven until the summer of '13 when the brake issu started, the previous onwer had a baby, so between the brakes needing fluid and no room for a car seat, I bought it so he could have a deposit on a family car with no time to worry about Craigslist or eBay auctions, and now I pass the great deal onto the eBay public! None of the cars in the background are for sale, exc the Plymouth wagon and 57 Fury, those are, but only being stored for a friend.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
