My ElCamino has many, many miles on it, and, over the years most all vital parts have either been replaced , repaired or rebuilt. Presently the only, MAJOR, problem with it is that it refuses to upshift into High gear. The basics are all in drivable , functioning condition. it has many small ailments as it has seen so many miles. I am the second owner of this vehicle. The first owner was a building contractor and used it in his business. The truck drives and handles VERY well , when the transmission allowed of course. The engine runs strong, but needs to be refreshed. The rear end has been replaced , and functions as desired. The steering feels very solid and smooth. The Body has some dents which have been worked on, and are presently primered as can be seen in the pictures. Not all gauges are working and the interior needs some TLC, however the dash and seats are in pretty fair condition. The tires are in GREAT condition. If the transmission was still functioning properly, I would still be driving this Truck to work daily as I was prior to the transmission "giving me gas". I have a total of five automobiles and am looking at another one to purchase. I don't have the time or desire to restore this one which is what I usually do, and this ElCamino could be restored to a BEAUTY and even into a SHOW CAR. It IS a perfect candidate for a restoration. It would easily be driven onto a transportation Trailer or truck. I have it on Non -Op, so the buyer will be responsible for smogging and re-registering it. I will in NO WAY contribute to transporting it, that's up to the buyer. I offer NO WARRANTY on this vehicle. I will ONLY accept payment of a deposit of half of the winning bid amount, through Paypal, IMEDIATELY, at the end of the sale., with the entire balance being paid IN CASH at the time truck is picked up. At pick up time, I will refund the deposit amount, through Paypal , if you are not satisfied that the truck is AS I've described. I have ALL POSITIVE FEEDBACKS on 303 transactions, so I can be trusted. I WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER doing business with ANY BIDDERS/BUYERS outside of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, so please don't waste any of my time or yours. I have this vehicle advertised for sale locally , so I RESERVE the right to cancel this ad without notice.

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
