1969 El Camino 350cu. In. V8 on 2040-cars
Temple, Texas, United States
|
The vehicle was purchased in 1970. The original vehicle has been modified to be a SS want-to-be by changing the hood and interior. The engine is a 350Cu. In. which was rebuilt in 1998 with 38,950 miles on it. The present mileage is 46,991. During the rebuild, a new RV cam was put in, all new pistons and rings, push rods, rockers, valves and springs. The heads were completely redone and modified to be able to use unleaded gas. The engine also received a new Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor. It has a new fuel pump, starter, water pump and alternator. It has the two-chamber Flowmaster mufflers with Hooker headers. The rear end is a 12-bolt positive traction with 308 gears. The transmission is a 350 turbo automatic three speed. The front suspension and bushings were all replaced in 1994. Front Disc brakes were installed in 2005. It does have a stock AC unit but it need some work. New compressor but it might have a Freon leak because it is not as cool as it should be. The painting on the vehicle was done in 2005. It is painted a pearl white with ghost flames in the black stripes. The body work took over a year to complete and is straight with no fillers being used. All the interior work was completed in 2005 with the SS package. This includes seats, headliner, carpet and tonneau cover. Even though the car is driven frequently since the overhaul, it has been entered in several shows and is a winner for it's class. |

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
