PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION TO UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, BEFORE BIDDING OR OFFERING. Without wheels/tires in picture, and hood scoop, $300 less. You'll get roller wheels and the hood piece. Now, here's the details. Over 10 years ago, I bought a stripped 59 Elcamino with no interior, but complete otherwise. Sold the old fashioned motor/trans (not sure if they were original), bought a 1982 Chevy pickup, slid the frame under the original X frame, welded them together, made braces where they didn't meet, and drove it and had it inspected every year after. Including the initial required inspection it had to get for the reconstructed title. DON'T BE SCARED OF THE RECONSTRUCTED TITLE. It is only reconstructed because of the alterations I made, not because of any accidents. The title itself no longer states 1959 Chevrolet, it is just stamped "reconstructed" multiple times. It is traced to the El by a new VIN plate issued by Penndot that was riveted to the upper firewall. But it is still currently insured as a custom 59 Elcamino by Grundy Worldwide for about $250 a year full coverage including towing. The body is all original, from what I can tell, and is starting to get a few rust bubbles here and there. Noticable only close up, so far. The "teeth" grille is in now, but I also have the original grille in great condition that goes with it. The motor is a 1973 Chevy Nova 350 4 barrel Edelbrock carb with HEI distributor. The transmission is a mid 70's Turbo 350 with non lockup converter. The rear is from a 1968 Nova and is a positraction unit. The entire functional frame is a 1982 Chevy 2WD pickup truck frame from a truck that was inspected and driven regularly by it's previous owner, until he didn't want it anymore. That's also where the motor and trans came from. The interior was amateur redone. Flame headliner, door panels, and floor mats. Currently has a bench seat in it from a late 80's pickup, where the seat frame was altered to sit lower and match the interior. Not ripped, torn, or busted, but doesn't match, so I threw a blanket on it for now. Really just needs a seat cover to match. Dash has original speedometer, fuel, and temp gauges that appear to work good. Aftermarket battery and oil pressure gauges mounted in the other two dash pods. Tachometer is mounted in the Bud can on the side of the hood scoop. Hood scoop is cutout and functional, but if you want it off, I still have the hood piece I cut out, and it can be welded back in and bodyworked to perfection. everything on this car/truck works. In the back, I cut out the wheel humps in the bed, and flattened them out because it sits high enough that they are no longer needed. The floor was custom made by someone before me. I removed the "hump" as it's no longer needed because of the height. The custom made bed cover is one piece fiberglass, and opens like a hood. I welded in hood hinges. Tailgate still opens and closes. That's about all I can tell you. Any questions left, ask. It is currently PA inspected until 09/14. Rims are Cragar S/S 15X10 rear and 15X8 front. Rear tires are new. Fronts are good used. Reverse lights are under rear bumper. ************BONUS*********** I have almost enough extra parts to practically build another 59 Elcamino. New fenders, new doors, new quarters, good used tailgate, used gauges, trim, glass, just about everything but a frame and hood. for an extra $2000 (firm) I will include them all if wanted. If not, just buy the vehicle and I'll sell the parts seperately. Parts will NOT be sold seperately unless the new owner doesn't want them. You can get me at FIVEsevenZERO sevenFOURzero ONEtwoFOURsix, or TONYKL68 at (opposite of cold)mail dot see oh em. All in small case letters. WANT MORE BIGGER AND BETTER PICTURES? Send a e-address and I'll send them.

We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
GM will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales
Tue, Apr 3 2018DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will stop reporting monthly U.S. vehicle sales, saying the 30-day snapshot does not accurately reflect the market, and will instead issue quarterly sales. GM will also no longer report monthly sales in China, its largest market, and Brazil. GM will provide monthly data to the U.S. Federal Reserve, industry associations and government agencies across the globe, but that data is not made public. Analysts and investors rely on monthly U.S. vehicle sales not just to track the performance of individual automakers, but as a barometer of the health of the world's second-largest auto market and as an indicator of consumer confidence in the U.S. economy overall. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford and Fiat Chrysler have relied heavily on sales of high-margin pickup truck and SUV sales to boost profits. GM's total U.S. sales, its second-largest market, are down 3.2 percent for the first two months of 2018, reflecting a 6.8 percent drop in retail sales to individual customers, the company reported last month. GM executives have expressed frustration that comparisons of monthly U.S. sales results among rival automakers are distorted by short-term discount programs, and by differences in strategy for selling vehicles in bulk to rental car fleets. "Thirty days is not enough time to separate real sales trends from short-term fluctuations in a very dynamic, highly competitive market," Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president for sales operations said in a statement. GM's actions could prompt other automakers to also switch to quarterly U.S. sales reports. Major automakers will report March U.S. new vehicle sales on Tuesday. Until the early 1990s, most U.S. automakers released sales results every 10 days. The former Chrysler Corp. stopped reporting sales on a 10-day basis in 1990, and rivals followed suit over the next three years. GM executives are betting that investors will quickly adapt to receiving U.S. sales data every three months, as investors in other retail sectors already have. Retailers such as Walmart report sales on a quarterly basis. Reporting by Joe WhiteRelated Video: Image Credit: Reuters Earnings/Financials Green Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC US
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
