1973 Chevrolet El Camino Estate Sale Very Original And Low Mileage on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:59707
Location:

Englewood, Colorado, United States

Englewood, Colorado, United States

For sale here is a very original 1973 Chevrolet El Camino that I purchased from an estate of an elderly couple. The vehicle is black with a tan interior. The car was repainted at some time in the past. The original color was a light metallic green (yuk). The paint job looks great as you can see in the pictures, however I would call it a decent "10 foot" paint job. It was done with pretty good care and all the edges, jambs, etc were painted black. The interior is clean and the seat was recovered in tan cloth at some point in the past. The rest of the interior is taupe, which is very dark green, almost black. The dash is cracked. The radio is an AM/FM cassette, but it is currently not working. The light come on, but no sound. I haven't fiddled with it yet.
The tonneau cover is in place, but it has some holes in it. It should be replaced. The wheels are aftermarket from the 1970's and look very good. The radial tires look almost new with plenty of tread.

I'm not sure, but I think the old couple bought the vehicle new. The mileage shows 59,707 and I would suspect there is a good chance that that is the original mileage, but I will not warranty that, because the documentation is not complete. The spare tire (G78-14/ 4 Ply Polyester) appears to be the original and has been "lightly down" mounted on a steel wheel. The motor starts right up and idles smoothly with no smoke. Interesting to note is the fact that the entire air pump system is still in place and operating. The car run, drives, shifts very well. It really is fun to drive and attracts lots of attention. I'm selling it as is, before I get hooked on it. I have way too many cars, but I couldn't pass up this beauty.

The vehicle is offered as is, where is, with no warranties expressed or implied. The vehicle is located in suburban Denver. All shipping costs, etc. are to be paid by the purchaser. Please email me with any questions prior to bidding. Your inspection, or that of your agent, is encouraged. Upon winning the bidding the purchaser must post a $500 non-refundable deposit by PayPal within 24 hrs. The entire balance is due and payable in 3 business days in the form of cash ,check or money order. If a check is used the vehicle will not be released until the check clears my financial institution.

Please check my feedback, I offer items as accurately as I can. You will not be disappointed in the condition of this vehicle. The reserve is not disclosed, so please don't ask. I never end an auction early, unless the vehicle sells locally. Bid early and often...good luck.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

GM admits goal of 500,000 EVs by 2017 won't be met

Sat, May 9 2015

After a little over four years of Chevy Volt sales, General Motors has a better handle on how many people it expects will buy cars with plugs. And it's less than the company thought back in 2012, when then-senior vice president of global product development, Mary Barra, said that GM expected to sell 500,000 "vehicles with electrification" by 2017. In a sustainability report released this week, GM says that half-million vehicle target will not be met but that it still, "believes the future is electric." In the report, GM says that, "For our commitment to electrification, our forecasted outlook currently projects us, along with the broader automotive industry, falling short of expectations for 2017. ... We continue to aspire to our stated goal." GM's electric lineup includes the Volt, the recently popular Spark EV, the slow-selling Cadillac ELR and upcoming Malibu Hybrid, CT6 plug-in hybrid and eAssist technology in the Buick LaCrosse and Regal. GM says it has 180,834 electrified vehicles on the road in the US today. In 2013, it had 153,034; 95,578 in 2012, and 39,843 in 2011. The company's next big plug-in vehicle will be the second-gen Chevy Volt, which is coming to market later this year, followed by the 200-mile Bolt EV coming, we think, in 2017. GM Employees on Mission to Transform Transportation Sustainability report outlines vehicle and manufacturing progress; sets new targets 2015-05-07 DETROIT – General Motors' just-released sustainability report chronicles efforts by the company's 216,000 employees to live out GM's newly defined purpose and values by earning customer loyalty, applying meaningful technology advances and improving the communities where it does business. These actions – led by CEO Mary Barra – further drive sustainability into the company's culture through building safer and smarter vehicles with less environmental impact. "GM will take a leading role in the auto industry's transformation as it undergoes an unprecedented period of change," said Bob Ferguson, senior vice president, GM Global Public Policy. "From GM's labs to its assembly lines, our people are driving the world to a better place through improved mobility." The company believes the future is electric, with billions of investment to support an all-in-house approach to the development and manufacturing of electrified vehicles. It now counts 180,834 on the road in the U.S – up from 153,034 in 2013.
