Great El Camino Base Standard Cab Pickup – Chevy 2 Door 140,000 actual miles located in High Springs, Florida - 32643.

Today I have a really great deal for you!  Of course you want to know as much as possible in making a decision on this vehicle.

My son needed dependable transportation for his college years in December 2010.  Without a lot of cash – due to college tuition, but still wanting to have some cool factor on campus -- he asked me to help him locate a Chevy El Camino.  We are the 4th owners.  You can be the 5th.

Due to a local couple divorce, the husband's toy a 1986 El Camino – V8 305 engine – was required to be sold to divide the couple’s assets.  It was a local car - Mid-west in great original shape with few owners.  It had 112,000 original miles at the time – at an excellent price for us then and that savings is being transferred to you now.  Vin #: 3GCCW80H8GS914726  never has been in an accident.  A great looking CAR – a great looking PICKUP TRUCK – the best of both a car-truck … CRUCK – some call these an Elky! Great Burgundy original paint for 28-years old – absolutely no body repairs, no rust except for one small spot - minor surface rust from rock chips back rear tire - passenger side. Interior Burgundy cloth, Front Disc Brakes – Rear Wheel Drive.  See the images.

SALE INCLUDES a good SLIM STYLE - CUSTOM TOPPER Image #23  is of a similar topper - a $400 value.  Let me know if you want a photo of the existing topper - it is in storage -  fits like a glove.   Also, has a removable rubber bed mat.

Ready to just drive or fix up and show. Mileage is now 140,000. 

ORIGINAL 305 V8 - RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT.  A lightly used car - not driven in winter - no rust - a solid good driving car.

No issues with under-carriage, no leaks, no problems.  AIR CONDITIONER WORKS NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. 4 Speed Automatic transmission.  For more information you can go to this El Camino website.

The car has been a great investment, and we have done all needed maintenance.  Just in the last two-years we have installed a new transmission -- which has one more year remaining on its three-year warranty.  Complete set of 4 new tires. Packed the bearing in the hubs, and in June 2014 the engine had a complete change of all fluids and replacement of hoses and belts – lights, and everything checked and repaired.  The repair bills will be given with the title – in all over $3,000.  In July the car was driven non-stop from Missouri to Florida – with not a bit of trouble – it is reliable.  You can buy it - pick it up and drive it home – wherever that might be in the USA.

So… you have to now be wondering – SO WHAT GIVES?? Why sell a car that has everything updated, is paid for and would be great drive for years? WHY????

Here’s why…

My son worked hard while in school to pay for his education and graduated with his degree in Science in May 2014.  He found a job and moved to High Springs, Florida – that is why the car is now there. 

As a reward for completing his degree, his mom and I offered him a brand new car for his graduation gift and to get a start in life.  He did not want a NEW car – he wanted a MINT classic one – a convertible, with style, that would be perfect for Florida. 

He has parked the El Camino and now drives a low mileage - mint 1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible a real classic - purchased from the National Muscle Car Dealer – it was the dealer’s personal car for his lake home.  You might have seen it for sale last month on eBay.  Trust me jaws drop when that car drives past – I know – I picked it up in Chicago and drove it to him in Florida. 

                       FYI - THE LAST IMAGE IS OF MY SON'S NEW 1970 CUTLASS SUPREME - NOT FOR SALE  - INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY 

He doesn't need two cars, so someone out there can have this ready to go El Camino. The funds from the sale will go to needed corrective eye surgery for my son.

Do you have a kid in high school or college that needs a good car?  Do you need a dependable pick-up truck? Get this CRUCK – ELKY now.  I doubt it will last long on eBay!

I have a 100% customer satisfaction in my eBay Buyer reviews.  I want you to be Happy too! You can contact me on my cell:  660.988.8064

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

Weekly Recap: Revisting the BBC report that ended Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear run

Sat, Mar 28 2015

Jeremy Clarkson's long run as a Top Gear host has come to an end, and the reason is clear: His physical assault on one of the show's producers crossed a line, and the government-owned BBC couldn't tolerate it. The incident between Clarkson and Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon was initially described as a "fracas," and Clarkson was suspended. But his popularity and widespread support – even British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in Β– suggested that the controversial Clarkson might be given yet another chance. The BBC put this to rest Wednesday when it sacked Clarkson and revealed the findings of its investigation. The report spelled out how Clarkson struck Tymon on the patio of a North Yorkshire (UK) hotel, leaving him with a bloodied, swollen lip. It was severe enough that the producer sought medical treatment. During and after the attack, Clarkson shouted expletives at Tymon and threatened to fire him. The noise carried into the hotel's dining room and even to a bedroom. Local police investigated the incident, but Tymon isn't pressing charges. The huge audience numbers, Clarkson's popularity and the high-octane excitement of Top Gear all melted away in the eyes of BBC director-general Tony Hall, who saw an attacker and a victim. "For me a line has been crossed," he said in a statement. "There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations." In that moment, Clarkson was the bad guy, though he was actually the one who reported it to the network and made repeated attempts to apologize to Tymon. He's also urged the media to leave the producer alone. Hall voiced regret in the statement that announced Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, but the BBC decided to move on. Rumors are swirling about possible replacements for Clarkson. The network says it wants to continue Top Gear in 2016 and is looking to air the rest of this season's episodes. Despite the controversy, the show has a global audience of 350 million viewers and is one of the BBC's most valuable properties. It's unclear what Clarkson's co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, will do, as their contracts were also reportedly up to be renewed.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.Β  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.
