This is a very nice 1959 Elcamino according to the VIN it started out as a six cylinder, the cowl tag says it was an eight but vin says six. Ive read online that all 59 came with the cowl tag for an eight?. This car was bought in  colorado in 2000 by a friend in New Mexico, who redid the car himself. This isnt a professional restoration but still was done very nice. He replaced the quarter panels on it and did the rest of the body work on it. The black on the car has a red metalic on it , the car looks good and turns heads everywhere. The floor pans where patched but not with oem pans. He just used some steel did a nice job but its not professional. Please see the pictures. There is two cracks on the drivers right quarter also see the pics. The interior is very nice he had the seat reupholstered, new carpet, new door panels and headliner. Has power windows with the switch located on the lower extended dash/ gauge holder. The speedometer and gas guage do not work, the temp, oil and alt gauge are working. The engine decodes to being a 1965 to 1967 283, it has a 1968 0r 1969 muncie 4 speed according to the number on the housing.  The engine runs out nice. The brakes need some work they stop but it has 4 wheel drum brakes with the original one hole master cylinder. The tires on the front are good, the rear have good tread but are dry rotted very bad i would not  drive far on them. It has dual exhaust in almost like new condition. the under side of the vehicle was also cleaned and coated. the bed was lined with a rhino type lining not sure what brand it is. It has the california one peice bumpers with the rear bumper having the steps on it. It has a custom grill but also have the original grill that goes with the car. The stainless is decent. Im sure there is more that ive missed, Im not trying to trick or cheat anyone ive told what i know if you have more question please ask and ill check . That being said if you do not have more than10  bids on ebay please conttact me first so that i know your real and not one of these players out there. If you do not contact me i will delete you. This is not professional retoration, But it is a very good looking car and turns heads you dont need to do anything major to this Elcamino just enjouy all the attention it gets. . So let me repeat this is not a professional job . There where only 22,246 of these made so not many left out there today. I dont need to sell this car and wont give it away.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
