1971 Chevy / Chevrolet El Camino - Hot Pro Street Rat Rod - Drag Car - 770hp on 2040-cars
Payson, Illinois, United States
|
A QUICK LOOK - 1971 Chevy El Camino - Straight body / decent paint / good underside - Lots of restoration work done - 770HP / 550TQ 383 stroker (built by Hovis Racing Engines) - Replacement cost of engine alone is $10,900 - 10.5 tire / stock suspension - Clear title / factory VIN tag still in stock location / Vin & title match - Stock glass in front and sides – windows roll up and down - Make a great hard core pro-streeter – maybe do an E-85 conversion? - Relatively easy street conversion (basic lighting / E-85 / exhaust / tires) - Selling for a fraction of investment to build - $20K+ in receipts - Have dyno sheets for the motor - Nice Tig-welded cage (professionally installed) - Was told that owner had $30K+ in the build - Don’t want the big horsepower motor…Sell it and you’ve got a NICE El Camino that you could put any Chevy motor in and just cruise it around. Other than minor street conversion work, doesn’t need anything else. - Street Outlaws candidate??? - A little bit different…..but still all Chevrolet - I like El Caminos (a lot)….If you don’t…..Look at it as a $30,000 Chevelle for a fraction of the money!!!
This car was a long term project that the builder spent a LOT of money on…..Basically he took the car and did any needed restoration work on it, and then painted it Viper Yellow ( I have the paint codes). It does have some chips here and there (see pic’s), but the paint is sharp and the body is very good….as is the underside. It does have a patch in the smugglers hatch, which is very common for these cars. The car is powered by a 770HP 383 stroker that was built by Hovis racing engines. The transmission is a Powerglide and the rearend is a 9-inch with 4:86 gears using a stock suspension setup. The builder and the 2nd owner (buddies / trade deal) never really got to race the car seriously, but it did get some shakedown runs. I bought the car from the creator of Dawson’s demon (The world’s fastest hotrod) The shakedown runs on the car were made by none other than Wild Bill Weckman, who is the owner of the world’s fastest street Corvette On the (3) shakedown runs this Elky ran a best ET of 10.92 @ 123.71MPH There was a pile of money spent to make this Elky what it is today….My price however is a fraction of what it took to build this car. My master plan was to convert it from Methanol to E-85 and street drive it for Sh*ts and giggles, but other commitments are getting in the way. The car is all steel except for the hood. It has a good body and decent paint, with way more horsepower than any street car needs....AND is priced to sell!!!!
It has all of the stock glass in it (except for the rear window is Lexan because of the cage bars)…The factory glass side windows do roll up and down. The dash is fabricated, but they did a really good job and it fits the car well….You could go back to the stock dash if you want though. The stock firewall is behind the aluminum one. The factory VIN tag is still in its stock location and is easily visible…The clear title in my name matches the VIN tag…and the VIN tag matches the title……..I have the clear “title in hand” Cage was professionally installed and is Tig welded (nice work – see pic’s) Car has been stored for a while, so I’m sure it will need some minor tweaking / tuning and a good safety check over.
ELKY IS LOCATED IN QUINCY IL (ZIP CODE 62301), THIS IS THE WEST-CENTRAL PART OF ILLINOIS SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED SHIPPING CHARGES / ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt CarPlay video, Tesla Supercharger importance
Fri, Feb 5 2016A video demonstrates Apple CarPlay on the touch display in the next-generation Chevrolet Volt. The Volt's eight-inch (bigger than an iPad Mini) capacitive display is capable of putting Siri and your iPhone apps and right at your fingertips. It's "the best CarPlay display I've seen," says the user in the video. In case you're not in the market for a new Volt, 9to5Mac offers some of its favorite aftermarket CarPlay screens. See the video above, and read more at 9to5Mac. A single Supercharger can make a big difference in the life of a Tesla owner. Teslarati's Electric Jen talks about purchasing a Model S, being assured by both Tesla employees and the map of planned Supercharger sites that one would be built along an important route for her. With the construction being pushed back, it made visiting family tricky. "As if owning such a grand car isn't embarrassing enough, asking for a ride to drop off and pick up said car because you can't make it home without charging really made me feel awkward," she says. "You see, one single charging location can mean the world to some people," Jen adds. Read the whole article at Teslarati. Tesla once had considered creating mobile range extender trailers for the Model S. Elon Musk touched upon the abandoned idea during his visit to Paris. While Tesla ultimately dismissed the concept, Nomadic Power has taken the opportunity to hitch their product onto the Tesla brand. "We are delighted, that Tesla Motors' CEO Elon Musk is thinking about a concept like ours for even more extending the range of the Tesla models," says Nomadic Power's CEO Manfred Baumgaertner. He adds, "This confirms our approach to build a long distance mobility provider for all electric vehicles on the market." If you say so, Baumgaertner.

When the batteries have degraded to the point that they're no longer suitable for use on the road, they still have a significant capacity that can be used for other purposes. Still useful for stationary storage, they can be used to support charging sites in order to allow for faster charging. The stationary batteries can charge slowly at the site, but then offer up the juice in a hurry when it's needed for a vehicle. Read more from Renault.
