1984 Elcamino Ss All Stock 92k Orig Miles! Selling Cheap!! on 2040-cars
|
If you're looking for an affordable ElCamino that runs and drives with a nice list of options, this is it! with a small list of repairs, you'll be on the road and ready to drive cross-country! This is a 1984 "WHITE GOLD" edition SS with full gauge dash, tilt wheel, cruise control, completely intact and possibly working A/C, sunroof, a very presentable interior, a rust free bed that has been treated to RHINOLINER, aftermarket aluminum wheels [center caps not there, and I don't have original wheels FYI] LOOK AT THE PICS, THEY WILL LIKELY ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS! FOR THE STARTING BID, AND WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE FINAL PRICE- IT WILL BE HARD TO FIND A BETTER QUICK-FIX ELCAMINO THAT IS TURN-KEY! HERE'S THE "BAD" stuff, everything else that is good is very evident in the photos, but I'll mention most of the good as well... the driver side door issues: pull strap needs the decorative cap and screw, hinge pin bushings are sloppy, and outer door handle is cracked. DRIVER'S REAR QUATER has a significant [about 3-4" diameter] dent on the corner by the tailgate. RANDOM rust along the bottom edges of rockers, quarter panel, and some spots coming through over the rear wheel lips, rear brake line needs to be replaced, or possibly rear wheel cylinder- I'd bet on line- need to top off rear zone of master rather often- its last drive was about 25 miles and it needed a refill. Paint is about 90% original, with factory "WHITE GOLD" decals and stripes, some touch ups over the rear wheel well, can see in pics, wrong color gold spray paint..and it needs a new headliner, as with all GM's, THAT'S THE BAD, AND WHY ITS SOOOO CHEAP!!! Some good points to consider: all the factory options listed above, THIS WAS OWNED BY AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN MOST OF ITS LIFE, USED REGULARLY, HENCE THE MINOR RUST. THAT SAID HE ALSO HAD NO REASON TO MODIFY ANYTHING!! All of the cruise control, A/C compontents/system, and all emissions control BS is there... the only modification is see is he or someone later, drill "breathing holes" along the top edge of the air cleaner. has a recent factory replacement "fake dual exhaust" 1 in muffler, 2 out, with chrome tips.
This car/pickup/ElCamino was daily driven until the summer of '13 when the brake issu started, the previous onwer had a baby, so between the brakes needing fluid and no room for a car seat, I bought it so he could have a deposit on a family car with no time to worry about Craigslist or eBay auctions, and now I pass the great deal onto the eBay public! None of the cars in the background are for sale, exc the Plymouth wagon and 57 Fury, those are, but only being stored for a friend. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
