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

Cadillac could base its entry-level sedan on the Chevy Cruze [UPDATE]

Wed, Apr 27 2016

UPDATE: Cadillac spokesperson Donny Nordlicht tells Autoblog , "The post speculating on a future Cadillac model derived from the Chevrolet Cruze is completely false." Premium automakers Mercedes-Benz and Audi have seen plenty of success with new small front-drive-based sedans. The CLA-Class had its best January ever this year, while Audi moved more of its new A3 in 2015 than its predecessor sold in 2005 through 2010 combined. The fact that Cadillac wants a piece of that pie is no surprise, then. There's a new rumor that GM's luxury brand could launch its own compact – possibly called CT2 – to battle the Germans. Cadillac, a brand that's pushed hard to rebuild its rear-drive reputation, could develop a new entry-level model based on the front-wheel-drive 2016 Chevrolet Cruze's D2XX platform. Go ahead and make your Cimarron jokes. Sources are telling GM Inside News that a Cadillac built on the Delta platform would ditch the Cruze's turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder for a 1.5-liter turbo in base models. General Motors' well received 2.0-liter turbo four would serve in higher-end models. According to GMIN, the Delta-based Cadillac would likely command a $6,000 to $9,000 premium over the Cruze, so figure $23,000 to $26,000 on the low end to $30,000 to $33,000 for something at the top of the range. As much as we dislike the kind of badge engineering that brought us the Cavalier-based Cadillac Cimarron in the '80s, the company has done an admirable job of distinguishing vehicles on shared platforms lately. A Delta-platform Cadillac would at least have a good basis – the new Cruze is surprisingly comfy. That said, we question GM's rationale if this rumor is indeed true. Put simply, Cadillac needs another sedan like I need another student loan payment. The company has four sedans, three of which overlap two segments, and none of which are selling very well. That's not because they're bad, but because customers want crossovers, of which Caddy has but one – the new XT5. Spending the time and money to add a fifth sedan to the mix when the company desperately needs to flesh out its CUV range would be a tremendous mistake. As much as we hate to say it, if Cadillac really wants to add a small, entry-level car to its range, it'd better be a crossover. Related Video:

GM exploring ways to raise half-ton Duramax diesel tow rating

Sun, Nov 3 2019

Lots of truck owners cheered when GM announced fuel economy numbers for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado with the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six. Even after Ram let loose its EPA mileage ratings for the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, the Chevy oil-burner still took the trophy. The victory was years in the making, GM engineers spending an entire four-year development cycle refining the LM2 Duramax to increase mileage. The tradeoff, as well all know by now, is towing; the Duramax in half-ton duty pulls a maximum 9,300 pounds in the Silverado. Rivals across town can do more, the Ford F-150 PowerStroke rated at 11,500, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel game to pull 12,560. GM engineer John Barta told Muscle Cars & Trucks that more hauling chops could be on the way, explaining, "We’re actually looking at upgrading some of the materials around (the engine bay) to see if we can maybe raise our tow rating." Engine bay materials are at issue due to thermal complexities underhood. John Barta, GM's assistant chief engineer of diesel engine controls, said the Duramax's inline-six configuration allowed engineers to get emissions hardware like the combined selective catalytic reduction, diesel oxidation catalysts, and diesel particulate filter unit closer to the engine, where it heats up quicker, getting emissions down quicker. But that filter puts another heat source in those confines, enforcing a cap on the tow rating to keep the engine and other systems from overheating. "If you look under the hood," he said, "youÂ’ll see a significant amount of silver ‘moon tapeÂ’ around to make sure things arenÂ’t getting overheatedÂ… if we were to go up in higher towing, which we can, we start impacting the possibility of deteriorating some of the components.” There isn't much space for more grille, so swapping for a better grade of "moon tape" or a different kind of material could reduce engine bay heat, extracting a higher tow rating in the process.  It's important to note a point Barta's been making for months about the Duramax figures, though. "Even though itÂ’s nice to brag about big numbers, in reality, light duty customers are not towing that large with their trucks," and, "We do know that (95 percent) of our light duty customers donÂ’t tow over 9,000 pounds." On our First Drive of the 2020 Silverado diesel we called out the tow rating, but emphasized that the Chevy and GMC have more important challenges to overcome.

eBay Find of the Day: Mario Andretti's personal 2009 Corvette ZR1

Wed, Jan 7 2015

With victory in the the Indianapolis 500, a Formula 1 World Championship, a win in the Daytona 500 and too many other motorsports accomplishments to list, Mario Andretti stands among not just the greatest American racing drivers of all time, but the greatest drivers, full stop. Apparently, the champ is also a fan of speed when not on the track, because now there's a chance to own what is said tobe his personal 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 12,872 miles on the clock. The eBay Motors auction page clearly shows Mario Andretti standing with the car, but the rest of the ad is admittedly short on details. The vehicle history report lists only one previous owner – ostensibly Andretti. The exterior is a handsome Blade Silver Metallic accompanied by a Dark Titanium leather interior. However, the seller keeps additional information to a minimum as well with the description simply stating, "This 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is owned by Mario Andretti and has been garage kept all its life. It is fully loaded with all option on this car." The future buyer will get a seriously great car along with some huge bragging rights at any party by touting its ownership history. We've reached out to the seller for more particulars and provenance, and will update this story if we hear back. In the meantime, the auction for this C6 ends on Thursday, January 8, and currently the reserve isn't met. The price sits at a hefty $68,100 as of this writing, with six bids registered.
