1969 El Camino 327, i bought the car from a friend and it had been stored for 10 years in a dry garage after they started and did not finished the restoration. They had added a rebuilt engine, rebuilt automatic trans, new exhaust systems, to only name a few things, but drove it for a short time and then parked it in the garage for 10 years. I did get proof of the cost they spent on the car, and it was just over $10,000 not including the purchase price of the vehicle. The speedo indicates 57354 miles, i believe the correct mileage is 157354 as this is a 45 yo car, and we do know that 12 years ago it read 136800 on the customers receipt.

When my son was growing up i taught him how to restore cars, and of all we did his favorite was the 1969 El Camino which i sold to help pay for his college. He is now 31 and returned last year to Washington State. I thought it would be a nice surprise to give him another El Camino, so i spent the past year+ finishing the restoration of this El Camino. In the meantime he acquired a son, now car isn't as important as the baby, and i am too old (76) to drive it much.

I had a retired painter friend block sand and prepare the car for paint, and then had it professionally painted apply Black base coat clear coat. Before the car was painted i removed most of the chrome trim and installed new chrome, we also installed the new carpets that they bought 10 years ago, upgraded the brakes to power assist, added new shocks and have driven it only 300 miles.

The bid is starting at $6,000.00, but there is a minimum that i will accept, that is above that price. Please do not did if you don't have the cash, don't bid if you have a bad history with Ebay or Pay pal, but feel free to contact me thru the Ebay listing if you have any questions. Leave your name, tele number and a brief message, and i will return your call within 48 hours or less.

This car is available to world wide buyers, but please contact me first to discuss the shipping options.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
