1959 Elcamino Street Hot Rat Rod 59 Chevy Chevrolet El Camino Til End Of January on 2040-cars
Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, United States
PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION TO UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, BEFORE BIDDING OR OFFERING. I WILL LIST THIS CAR/TRUCK UNTIL JANUARY 31, 2014, THEN THE HIGHEST OFFER GETS CALLED BACK FIRST. If that person doesn't fall through, second highest gets called next, etc. Until it's sold. Only offers with phone numbers are contacted. TO END SUSPICION, I am only selling this because I have too many toys for one person, had this one the longest of them. Now, here's the details. Over ten years ago I bought a stripped 59 Elcamino with no interior, but complete otherwise. Sold the old fashioned motor/trans (not sure if they were original), bought a 1982 Chevy pickup, slid the frame from it under the original X frame, welded them together, made braces where they didn't meet, and drove it and had it inspected every year since. Including now. Including the initial required inspection it had to pass to get the reconstructed title to show it was done properly. DON'T BE SCARED OF THE RECONSTRUCTED TITLE. It is only reconstructed because of the alterations I made, not because of any accidents. The title itself no longer states 1959 Chevrolet, it is just stamped "reconstructed" multiple times. It is traced to the El by a new VIN plate issued by Penndot that was riveted to the upper firewall. But it is still currently insured (and garaged) as a custom 59 Elcamino by Grundy Worldwide for about $250 a year full coverage including towing. The body is all original, from what I can tell, and is starting to get a few rust bubbles here and there. Noticable only close up, so far. The "teeth" grille is in now, but I also have the original grille, in great condition, that goes with it. The motor is a 1973 Chevy Nova 350 4 barrel Edelbrock carb with HEI distributor. The transmission is a mid 70's Turbo 350 with non lockup converter. The rear is from a 1968 Nova and is a positraction unit. The entire functional frame is a 1982 Chevy 2WD pickup truck frame from a truck that was inspected and driven regularly by it's previous owner, until he didn't want it anymore. That's also where the motor and trans came from. The interior was amateur redone, as I did it to enjoy, not trailer and brag. Flame headliner, door panels, and floor mats. Currently has a bench seat in it from a late 80's pickup where the seat frame was altered to sit lower and match the interior. Not ripped, torn, or busted, just doesn't match (it's blue), so I threw a blanket on it for now. Really just needs a seat cover to match. Dash has original speedometer, fuel, and temp gauges that appear to work good. Aftermarket battery and oil pressure gauges mounted in the other two dash pods. Tachometer is mounted in the Bud can on the side of the hood scoop. Hood scoop is cutout and functional, but if you want it off, I still have the hood piece I cut out, and it can be welded back in and bodyworked to perfection. Everything on this car/truck works. In the back, I cut out the wheel humps in the bed, and flattened them out because it sits high enough that they are no longer needed. The same with the floor hump under the dash. Flattened and gone. The custom made bed cover is one piece fiberglass, and opens like a hood. I welded in hood hinges. Tailgate still opens and closes. Gas tank is from the 1982 donor truck. That's about all I can tell you. Any questions, ask. It is currently PA inspected until 09/14. Rims are Cragar S/S 15X10 rears and 15X8 front. Rear tires are new, fronts are good used. Reverse lights are under rear bumper. Shifter is floor from an 80's Camaro. **********BONUS************ I have almost enough extra parts to practically build another 59 Elcamino. New fenders, doors and quarters. Good used tailgate, gauges, trim, glass, etc. No frame or hood. $2000 firm if you want all the extra parts with it. If not, I'll part them out. You can get me at FIVEsevenZEROsevenFOURzeroONEtwoFOURsix or TONYKL68 at (opposite of cold)mail dot see oh em . All is small case letters. WANT MORE AND BIGGER PICTURES? Send an e address and I'll send them.

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers
Wed, Aug 14 2024Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
