A QUICK LOOK


-          1971 Chevy El Camino

-          Straight body / decent paint / good underside

-          Lots of restoration work done

-          770HP / 550TQ 383 stroker (built by Hovis Racing Engines)

-          Replacement cost of engine alone is $10,900

-          10.5 tire / stock suspension

-          Clear title / factory VIN tag still in stock location / Vin & title match

-          Stock glass in front and sides – windows roll up and down

-          Make a great hard core pro-streeter – maybe do an E-85 conversion?

-          Relatively easy street conversion (basic lighting / E-85 / exhaust / tires)

-          Selling for a fraction of investment to build

-          $20K+ in receipts

-          Have dyno sheets for the motor

-          Nice Tig-welded cage (professionally installed)

-          Was told that owner had $30K+ in the build

-          Don’t want the big horsepower motor…Sell it and you’ve got a NICE El Camino that you could put any Chevy motor in and just cruise it around.  Other than minor street conversion work, doesn’t need anything else.

-          Street Outlaws candidate???

-          A little bit different…..but still all Chevrolet

-          I like El Caminos (a lot)….If you don’t…..Look at it as a $30,000 Chevelle for a fraction of the money!!!

 

 

This car was a long term project that the builder spent a LOT of money on…..Basically he took the car and did any needed restoration work on it, and then painted it Viper Yellow ( I have the paint codes).  It does have some chips here and there (see pic’s), but the paint is sharp and the body is very good….as is the underside.  It does have a patch in the smugglers hatch, which is very common for these cars.  The car is powered by a 770HP 383 stroker that was built by Hovis racing engines.  The transmission is a Powerglide and the rearend is a 9-inch with 4:86 gears using a stock suspension setup.  The builder and the 2nd owner (buddies / trade deal) never really got to race the car seriously, but it did get some shakedown runs. 

I bought the car from the creator of Dawson’s demon (The world’s fastest hotrod)

The shakedown runs on the car were made by none other than Wild Bill Weckman, who is the owner of the world’s fastest street Corvette

On the (3) shakedown runs this Elky ran a best ET of 10.92 @ 123.71MPH

There was a pile of money spent to make this Elky what it is today….My price however is a fraction of what it took to build this car.

My master plan was to convert it from Methanol to E-85 and street drive it for Sh*ts and giggles, but other commitments are getting in the way.

The car is all steel except for the hood.  It has a good body and decent paint, with way more horsepower than any street car needs....AND is priced to sell!!!!

 

It has all of the stock glass in it (except for the rear window is Lexan because of the cage bars)…The factory glass side windows do roll up and down.

The dash is fabricated, but they did a really good job and it fits the car well….You could go back to the stock dash if you want though.  The stock firewall is behind the aluminum one.

The factory VIN tag is still in its stock location and is easily visible…The clear title in my name matches the VIN tag…and the VIN tag matches the title……..I have the clear “title in hand”

Cage was professionally installed and is Tig welded (nice work – see pic’s)

Car has been stored for a while, so I’m sure it will need some minor tweaking / tuning and a good safety check over.

 

ELKY IS LOCATED IN QUINCY IL (ZIP CODE 62301), THIS IS THE WEST-CENTRAL PART OF ILLINOIS

SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED

SHIPPING CHARGES / ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER


IF YOU ARE PICKING THE CAR UP IN PERSON, PAYMENT MUST BE VIA CASH....IF YOU ARE HAVING IT SHIPPED TO YOU A CASHIER'S CHECK IN ADVANCE IS OK....BUT THE CAR DOESN'T GET PICKED UP UNTIL THE CHECK CLEARS MY BANK

Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans

Tue, Apr 30 2019

According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
