Arroyo Grande, California, United States

1968 Chevrolet El Camino

No Engine or Trans

Was originally 307 V8 - 3 speed manual trans

still has clutch pedal in it.

Car is complete other than that

15 x 7 Corvette Rallys on front 15 x 8 Rallys on rear

Stock 10 Bolt rear end

Power Steering - Non AC Car

Interior is complete.  No steering wheel 

 but needs to be redone

Bumpers are straight with NO Rust

All the trim is on the car

Glass intact except passenger window

The body is why I bought this car

The only rust is the bottoms of two front fenders behind the wheels

There is NO Rust in the typical El Camino areas: the lower Rockers - bottoms of the doors - rear fender lips - Gas filler door - behind the rear window - floor pans frame it's all good No Rust!

The car came from Indio in the Southern California desert

Looks like it had one crappy paint job over the original paint.  It had some surface rust developing from sitting out in the desert for quiet some time so the car was put in PCL primer until I could get to doing the bodywork.

I have not done any bodywork on it.  There are dents here and there but it's pretty straight overall

Nothing caved in just small dings.

I bought this car at a Lien sale from a towing company in Coachella, California.  I have ALL the paper work and will provide a bill of sale.

The paperwork is clean but California DMV wants nearly $ 1,000 in back registration before giving me the title.

The California registration fees should not apply to out of state buyers, but if you live in California it's gonna be about a grand to complete the paperwork.

I'm an honest seller and have attached a photo of the registration I have from DMV in my name.  I also have all the Lien sale paperwork from when I bought it.  Unfortunately, I have no time to do the car so it's gonna go to the highest bidder.

Hard to find one with no rust like this

I'm located on the central coast of California.  Half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco.  Zip code is 93420. 

Buyer is responsible for pick up or shipping arrangements.  I will help load the car if needed.  The trailer in the photos is not included in the sale.

NO RESERVE

Happy bidding!!!

Car must be picked up with in 30 days of sale.  If you pay with a check it will have to clear the bank before car is picked up. 

Thanks! Rick

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
