You could search far and wide and likely never find a 59 El Camino nicer, straighter, more solid or better restored than this one. It just completed a 12 year absolute, complete frame off, nut and bolt restoration and upgrade with meticulous detail to correct factory components, finishes and hardware until final assembly when it was decided to upgrade to a new engine for increased power and dependability and interior and air conditioning upgrades for comfort and appearance. In addition on the first test drive it was immediately apparent that the car could benefit from a more modern steering system and a new year/model specific (not a one size fits all) rack and pinion power steering system was installed. Any 59 El Camino draws attention where ever it goes as a result of its somewhat radical design and styling but once glance at this one commands a closer look and it is very apparent the sweat and blood that went into its meticulous restoration and assembly which is proven by its accumulation of nothing less than FIRST place awards received in only one summer since its completion. Great effort has gone into photographing and covering the details of this car however I would certainly encourage a personal inspection to realize its merits. I will add that I am not a professional photographer and these photos do not begin to capture the real likeness of this car. This is especially true of the undercarriage photos which were taken in a dimly lit garage with a camera flash and every spec of dust or dirt glows like neon which sadly distracts form from its actual exceptionally clean appearance. Chassis: This is the original blasted and painted factory frame utilizing all original rebuilt/refurbished components except as follows Rear air shocks to allow leveling of the vehicle with no weight in the bed Disc break conversion on all 4 corners dramatically improving stopping power Corvette brake master cylinder Aftermarket power rack and pinion steering system to eliminate the original boat like handling Stainless steering rods and U-joints 2" dropped coil springs in front w/ heavy duty shocks Vintage 5 spoke American Racing wheels polished and painted to mach interior New Dayton classic tires Spare matching painted wheel and new Dayton classic tire Drive Train: All original from the bell housing back. The original factory Powerglide trans was rebuilt from top to bottom using new and improved components wherever possible as was the original factory rear end. The engine is a late model GM 350 c.i. crate motor with a mild cam upgrade New factory replacement radiator Edelbrock performer intake and 1406 performer 600 cfm 4 barrel carb w/ elec. Choke New GM HEI distributor GM ram exhaust manifolds Custom bent exhaust w/ stainless mufflers GM serpentine single belt drive system Tuff Stuff chromed 100 amp alternator Tuff Stuff chromed A/C compressor GM style gen. 2 polished aluminum power steering pump and pulley w/ stainless lines and polished aluminum reservoir Body: Body restoration started with an unconventionally straight solid western body. Panels were painstakingly massaged and straightened as needed with extra care taken in alignment of panels. Although the body was very nice to begin with many hours were spent restoring the fit and finish well beyond the original factory quality. All stainless molding was reworked as needed and polished Much of the anodized aluminum trim was chromed for improved appearance ALL bumpers and ALL original chrome trim was re plated to an exceptional finish Windshield and rear glass was replaced with new All rubber seals and gaskets on the entire body were replaced with new quality replacements Paint inside the bed is as nice as the outer body Interior: Entire dash steering column, gauge pods etc. were painted champagne color to match the wheel spokes All original gauges rebuilt or replaced w/ original factory replacements The steering wheel is not correct but I recently found a very nice correct original wheel which I purchased and will make available to the buyer at my actual cost The seats, center console with working factory tach and door trim are from a 60’s Olds F85 and have been recovered to match the interior color New carpet, headliner and upholstered storage area behind the seats Vintage Air air conditioning system made to operate off the original air control panel on the dash and will literally freeze you out. Replacement modern electronics factory look radio Replacement (factory vent delete) kick panels to accept modern speakers NOTE: I recently purchased a brand new rebuilt from top to bottom Muncie 4 speed transmission with absolutely every part needed to install including refurbished original pedal assembly, all linkage components down to the nuts bolts and cotter pins, bell housing, clutch, pressure plate, fork, throw out bearing, Hurst shifter etc. etc. This trans bolts to the original (current) trans cross member, utilizes the existing drive shaft and can be installed in an afternoon. The entire system was purchased from a friend with another 59 El Camino, it was installed and completely functional when he decided to switch to a T56. I purchased the COMPLETE assembly from him this past fall but have not had the chance to install it. I will make it available to the auction winner if he chooses for what it cost me. I rarely have the opportunity to review emails so it is best to call with questions. 317-600-1117. |

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works
Wed, Oct 21 2020With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
