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

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
