1959 Chevrolet El Camino Restored With Many Nos Parts One Owner 427 Big Block 59 on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
|
Documented one owner car from 1959 to 2012. Sold new in Denver, Colorado and has been here since. The original owner enjoyed this ElCamino so much that he went to the local Chevrolet dealer in the mid 60's and purchased all new bed stainless, side stainless, headlight bezels, grill and tail light bezel then put them in his attic knowing he would one day restore his ElCamino. The car was driven occasionally all through the 1980 when it was parked. In 2007 he decided to restore it. Upon having a concourse body and paint job done the NOS parts were installed! None of the trim parts are reproduced for 59 or 60 ElCaminos, making these cars very difficult to restore. With this car having all NOS trim, sets it apart from the rest. All of the chrome plating was sent out for show chrome. The interior was completed in correct impala materials made by Cars Inc. It has a modern digital stereo fitting in the stock location in the dash and also has a 15" Impala steering wheel. The chassis was detailed and all suspension parts were rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints etc. Four wheel power disc brakes were installed. A fully rebuilt fuel injected 427 was mated to a fresh TH400 automatic transmission. The power steering was upgraded to a 605 steering box. The sunbrella toneau cover is snapped on with small brackets that do not require holes to be drilled in the bed stainless. The inside of the bed is body worked and nicely painted body color, then only the ribbed part of the bed covered in outdoor gray carpet. It looks very professional. The rear window is original and in nice condition, the rest of the glass is new. This car was done to a very high level that is rarely seen on 59 ElCaminos. As restoration costs sore, this car is selling for less than it cost to restore. It is ready to enjoy and needs nothing...... Show quality, fast, fun to drive and reliable. This is an auction, so I will not be disclosing the reserve. Look at my feedback and I have been a Ebay member for 14 years. This should give you confidence in bidding on my car and knowing its described in a honest fashion. If you have questions, please contact me at 303 475-4544

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
