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

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority
Sat, Jul 18 2015Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!
