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................

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis

Fri, Mar 7 2014

What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.

2021 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon facelift spied

Fri, Sep 20 2019

The Chevy Colorado and its GMC Canyon twin have been on sale for a good long time now, and while things move a little more slowly on the truck side when it comes to facelifts and model changeovers, it seems like it’s about time. So itÂ’s no surprise to see some lightly camouflaged trucks running around ahead of what appears to be a minor refresh for the 2021 model year. Starting with the Colorado, it appears to have a bowtie hiding behind some camo in the center of the grille, which otherwise looks like the no-bowtie option you can get on 2019-and-up trucks. It could be that Chevy is keeping the no-bowtie grille design but allowing a bowtie to grace it, or it could be misdirection. Either way, the grille pattern adds a bit of flair to the otherwise staid front end design. There also appears to be a bit more shape to the lower air inlet, with echoes of some of the lower fascias of its bigger Silverado stablemate. The Canyon, on the other hand, shows more extensive front-end changes. At first glance, it looks to emulate some variants of the GMC Sierra, which would make sense given those modelsÂ’ changes for the 2020 model year. In particular, this Canyon has hints of Sierra HD, being more square and monolithic than the regular Sierra 1500s, although itÂ’s a little hard to tell with the camo covering the edges of the grille. It could certainly also adopt more rounded corners like the 1500s. Either way, itÂ’s more vertical and thereÂ’s less differentiation between the upper grille and lower opening. ThereÂ’s nothing in the way of changes around the sides or back, and while there may be some minor changes inside, we arenÂ’t expecting any. The word around town is that this isnÂ’t a full facelift, but rather a minor front end tweak thatÂ’ll just be a regular part of the model-year changeover.Â
