1969 El Camino 327, Restored In Beautiful Condition on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:57354
Location:

Seattle, Washington, United States

Seattle, Washington, United States

 1969 El Camino 327, i bought the car from a friend and it had been stored for 10 years in a dry garage after they started and did not finished the restoration. They had added a rebuilt engine, rebuilt automatic trans, new exhaust systems, to only name a few things, but drove it for a short time and then parked it in the garage for 10 years. I did get proof of the cost they spent on the car, and it was just over $10,000 not including the purchase price of the vehicle. The speedo indicates 57354 miles, i believe the correct mileage is 157354 as this is a 45 yo car, and we do know that 12 years ago it read 136800 on the customers receipt.

When my son was growing up i taught him how to restore cars, and of all we did his favorite was the 1969 El Camino which i sold to help pay for his college. He is now 31 and  returned last year to Washington State. I thought it would be a nice surprise to give him another El Camino, so i spent the past year+ finishing the restoration of this El Camino. In the meantime he acquired a son, now car isn't as important as the baby, and i am too old (76) to drive it much.

I had a retired painter friend block sand and  prepare the car for paint, and then had it professionally painted apply Black base coat clear coat. Before the car was painted i removed most of the chrome trim and installed new chrome, we also installed the new carpets that they bought 10 years ago, upgraded the brakes to power assist, added new shocks and have driven it only 300 miles.

The bid is starting at $6,000.00, but there is a minimum that i will accept, that is above that price. Please do not did if you don't have the cash, don't bid if you have a bad history with Ebay or Pay pal, but feel free to contact me thru the Ebay listing if you have any questions. Leave your name, tele number and a brief message, and i will return your call within 48 hours or less.

This car is available to world wide buyers, but please contact me first to discuss the shipping options.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars

Thu, Mar 14 2024

In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in.  By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
