Great El Camino Base Standard Cab Pickup – Chevy 2 Door 140,000 actual miles located in High Springs, Florida - 32643.

Today I have a really great deal for you!  Of course you want to know as much as possible in making a decision on this vehicle.

My son needed dependable transportation for his college years in December 2010.  Without a lot of cash – due to college tuition, but still wanting to have some cool factor on campus -- he asked me to help him locate a Chevy El Camino.  We are the 4th owners.  You can be the 5th.

Due to a local couple divorce, the husband's toy a 1986 El Camino – V8 305 engine – was required to be sold to divide the couple’s assets.  It was a local car - Mid-west in great original shape with few owners.  It had 112,000 original miles at the time – at an excellent price for us then and that savings is being transferred to you now.  Vin #: 3GCCW80H8GS914726  never has been in an accident.  A great looking CAR – a great looking PICKUP TRUCK – the best of both a car-truck … CRUCK – some call these an Elky! Great Burgundy original paint for 28-years old – absolutely no body repairs, no rust except for one small spot - minor surface rust from rock chips back rear tire - passenger side. Interior Burgundy cloth, Front Disc Brakes – Rear Wheel Drive.  See the images.

SALE INCLUDES a good SLIM STYLE - CUSTOM TOPPER Image #23  is of a similar topper - a $400 value.  Let me know if you want a photo of the existing topper - it is in storage -  fits like a glove.   Also, has a removable rubber bed mat.

Ready to just drive or fix up and show. Mileage is now 140,000. 

ORIGINAL 305 V8 - RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT.  A lightly used car - not driven in winter - no rust - a solid good driving car.

No issues with under-carriage, no leaks, no problems.  AIR CONDITIONER WORKS NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. 4 Speed Automatic transmission.  For more information you can go to this El Camino website.

The car has been a great investment, and we have done all needed maintenance.  Just in the last two-years we have installed a new transmission -- which has one more year remaining on its three-year warranty.  Complete set of 4 new tires. Packed the bearing in the hubs, and in June 2014 the engine had a complete change of all fluids and replacement of hoses and belts – lights, and everything checked and repaired.  The repair bills will be given with the title – in all over $3,000.  In July the car was driven non-stop from Missouri to Florida – with not a bit of trouble – it is reliable.  You can buy it - pick it up and drive it home – wherever that might be in the USA.

So… you have to now be wondering – SO WHAT GIVES?? Why sell a car that has everything updated, is paid for and would be great drive for years? WHY????

Here’s why…

My son worked hard while in school to pay for his education and graduated with his degree in Science in May 2014.  He found a job and moved to High Springs, Florida – that is why the car is now there. 

As a reward for completing his degree, his mom and I offered him a brand new car for his graduation gift and to get a start in life.  He did not want a NEW car – he wanted a MINT classic one – a convertible, with style, that would be perfect for Florida. 

He has parked the El Camino and now drives a low mileage - mint 1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible a real classic - purchased from the National Muscle Car Dealer – it was the dealer’s personal car for his lake home.  You might have seen it for sale last month on eBay.  Trust me jaws drop when that car drives past – I know – I picked it up in Chicago and drove it to him in Florida. 

                       FYI - THE LAST IMAGE IS OF MY SON'S NEW 1970 CUTLASS SUPREME - NOT FOR SALE  - INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY 

He doesn't need two cars, so someone out there can have this ready to go El Camino. The funds from the sale will go to needed corrective eye surgery for my son.

Do you have a kid in high school or college that needs a good car?  Do you need a dependable pick-up truck? Get this CRUCK – ELKY now.  I doubt it will last long on eBay!

I have a 100% customer satisfaction in my eBay Buyer reviews.  I want you to be Happy too! You can contact me on my cell:  660.988.8064

The auction winner will need $500.00 down PayPal and balance PAYMENT TO BE MADE BY BANK TO BANK TRANSFER WITHIN 7 DAYS, I WILL FED EX TITLE NEXT DAY AFTER PAYMENT IS CLEARED, CLEAR TRANSFERRABLE MISSOURI TITLE IN MY NAME.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING WHICH MY SON AND I CAN HELP WITH, CAR IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS. I HAVE TRIED TO REPRESENT THIS CAR AS ACCURATELY AS I CAN. PHOTOS COUNT AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.

Once the bid is won the El Camino is the responsibility of Buyer.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again

Thu, Sep 25 2014

The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
