Do not bid unless you have the money !!! I require $500 paypal in 24 hours.  Don't e mailme asking how much.  Make a offer for but it now.  If I agree you get it.  Simple don't have time to waste 

 

           I am offering my 1979 Chevy El Camino "Candy O".  I am the proud owner of this vehicle for now 10 years!  This was a FRAME OFF RESTORATION done 4 years ago.  I am going to explain the detail but I could write for days so again call or e-mail with questions.

   Car is an original V8/Th350 automatic.  I installed a 1971 Camaro 307 V8 4 years ago.  The mileage on the engine at that point in time was about 55k.  The guy with camaro put in 600+hp engine and had no use for original engine.  This was a score for me.  The engine was a virgin as they come.  Rated at 9.1 Compression and 200hp it is more powerful that the typical 1980's 350 and superior over the 140hp 305's of the same time period!  I installed HEI ignition as well as a 1980 Corvette Rochester 4 barell mated to an Edlebrock proformer intake backed  by $1000.00 of pypes dual exhaust and ceramic headers!  Going easy pushing 240 HP if not better. ZERO running issues at all.  I put at least 35,000k on it since I installed the engine.  The point in case is the car didn't sit around.  I used it again and again!

       The transmission is a Th350 3 speed automatic.  I had this rebuilt by a professional trans shop in NJ.  MAYBE if it has 10k on it that would be a lot. The complete front end was rebuilt, all new upper/lower conrol arm bushings, springs all around, new calipers, brake drums, master cylinder.  EVERY SINGLE BRAKE LINE was replaced BRAND NEW. YES EVERY LINE.... BRAND NEW (7 out of 10 G Body GM cars have time bomb brake lines ticking away waiting to explode and leave you stranded). All new flex hoses.

     The body was removed from the chassis and I replaced the whole chassis with a perfect rot free one! (The prior chassis was rotted in 3 places)  ALL NEW BODY MOUNTS WERE INSTALLED. AM/FM CD player, speakers in box behind seat.

       The bottom of the car is just about new. NO HOLES IN FLOORS. NO HOLES IN BODY.Bottom of the car painted in satin black 4 years ago.  The rear end was rebuilt and 3.42 gears were installed.  It has massive acceleration power from a standstill. Most lazy rear ends were 2.41 2.73 in these cars.   NO WIRING ISSUES WHATSOEVER.  Everything works, all lights, horn, heater.  It is a FACTORY STYLE NO A/C car. (included but not shown in photos is a complete A/C unit I saved from another car of same vintage as well as many other misc odd items I have hoarded away, trim, mechanical, etc- There is a street value in these items alone. All goes with car upon sale)The bed will be loaded with all extra parts for new owner to keep or sell.

      The paint was stripped to the bare metal and car is painted with basecoat/clear Diamont products (not cheap ).  Bumpers are like new, the only defect I want to mention is some surface paint bubbles in both front corners of the doors.  THE DOORS ARE NOT ROTTED! They are solid as a rock.  This is common in this 78-88  G body cars as that is where moisture collects.  If this is offensive to you $500 addition will correct it before you take the car.  If not you take it as is. I have ZERO to hide and most would not even mention it.  It's not even that bad I am honest seller and don't have time to waste by telling stories.

        I live in NY 10920. Car is also for local sale.  Listing may end at any given time.  IF you want the car come view in person if need be.  If you bid on it from far away, know and understand that bid is contract.  I don't want to deal with confused people who don't have the money or bid for the purpose of their entertainment.  The car is well worth $10,000 if not better.  My RESERVE IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT.  I don't owe this car a nickel.  It's been with me ten years. I am bailing out and calling it a day.  FAR MORE IN IT THAT IT'S ACTUAL VALUE.

    Terms of sale are as follows. $500 pay pal deposit no more than 24 hours after end of auction.  If you DO NOT HAVE IT, DO NOT BID.  The rest cash in hand, bank check, or direct deposit.  I am not going to ACCEPT PAY PAL as payment of car, if that is your intention do business elsewhere.  This isn't a part, this is a vehicle.  A vehicle I am giving away, so let's make this transaction quick and to the point. The full amount is due no more than 7 days after the end of auction.  All non paying bidders will be reported. Please be serious and back up your bid for the fairness of others.

    Car is AS/IS, WHERE IS in NY 10920.  Buyer is responsible for all transport fees to their home.  Come pick up and drive home after paid in full. I have a CLEAN NY tittle in my name.  It is the ownership of the vehicle.

   Do your homework.... $1500-3000 or so buys you junk.  You will put more into something you buy for that price. I did all the work for you, find the money. This is worth it.  I have others at a local level who dream about this so I'm just waiting on an educated cash offer and it leaves my life.... time waits for no one.... no favorites.

          Thanks for reading.....

Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test

Tue, Oct 25 2016

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
