1984 Elcamino Ss All Stock 92k Orig Miles! Selling Cheap!! on 2040-cars
If you're looking for an affordable ElCamino that runs and drives with a nice list of options, this is it! with a small list of repairs, you'll be on the road and ready to drive cross-country! This is a 1984 "WHITE GOLD" edition SS with full gauge dash, tilt wheel, cruise control, completely intact and possibly working A/C, sunroof, a very presentable interior, a rust free bed that has been treated to RHINOLINER, aftermarket aluminum wheels [center caps not there, and I don't have original wheels FYI] LOOK AT THE PICS, THEY WILL LIKELY ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS! FOR THE STARTING BID, AND WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FINAL PRICE- IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND A BETTER QUICK-FIX ELCAMINO THAT IS TURN-KEY! HERE'S THE "BAD" stuff, everything else that is good is very evident in the photos, but I'll mention most of the good as well... the driver side door issues: pull strap needs the decorative cap and screw, hinge pin bushings are sloppy, and outer door handle is cracked. DRIVER'S REAR QUATER has a significant [about 3-4" diameter] dent on the corner by the tailgate. RANDOM rust along the bottom edges of rockers, quarter panel, and some spots coming through over the rear wheel lips, rear brake line needs to be replaced, or possibly rear wheel cylinder- I'd bet on line- need to top off rear zone of master rather often- its last drive was about 25 miles and it needed a refill. Paint is about 90% original, with factory "WHITE GOLD" decals and stripes, some touch ups over the rear wheel well, can see in pics, wrong color gold spray paint..and it needs a new headliner, as with all GM's, THAT'S THE BAD, AND WHY ITS SOOOO CHEAP!!! Some good points to consider: all the factory options listed above, THIS WAS OWNED BY AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN MOST OF ITS LIFE, USED REGULARLY, HENCE THE MINOR RUST. THAT SAID HE ALSO HAD NO REASON TO MODIFY ANYTHING!! All of the cruise control, A/C compontents/system, and all emissions control BS is there... the only modification is see is he or someone later, drill "breathing holes" along the top edge of the air cleaner. has a recent factory replacement "fake dual exhaust" 1 in muffler, 2 out, with chrome tips.
This car/pickup/ElCamino was daily driven until the summer of '13 when the brake issu started, the previous onwer had a baby, so between the brakes needing fluid and no room for a car seat, I bought it so he could have a deposit on a family car with no time to worry about Craigslist or eBay auctions, and now I pass the great deal onto the eBay public! None of the cars in the background are for sale, exc the Plymouth wagon and 57 Fury, those are, but only being stored for a friend. |

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Mon, Jan 19 2015Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
