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.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Autoblog Podcast #327:
The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
