 1964 Chevrolet El Camino survivor - 50 years old and still running.  I bought this about five years ago with the intent of finishing the bodywork that a prior owner started and cleaning it up a bit for an oldies cruise night cruiser.  Too many other projects have gotten in the way, and I've done almost nothing to it. 

It originally had a 283 with a four-speed on the floor.  The engine was replaced with a later model 350, although the prior owner thought it still had the 283 in it.  I haven't crawled under it to check the numbers on the four speed to see if it is original to the car, but it very well could be.

The car spent part of its life in Texas, then moved to Wisconsin before I bought it and moved it to St. Louis.  It's been stored indoors for at least the last five years, but as with almost any fifty year old car, there is rust.  The prior owner started some body work, and I did do a little work on paint chips.  The prior owner told me the sunroof was there when he bought it.  It is obviously an older after-market flip-up model.  It's been rained on a couple of times and hasn't leaked, but I don't know what might happen in a hard rain.

There is a security system with remotes and a hood lock mounted under the dash.  Also under the dash is an AM/FM radio.  The original AM is still in the dash, but it appears to be disconnected.  I have not tried to see if it might still work.  It has factory original bucket seats and still has the spare tire cover over the spare behind the passenger seat.

Lights and gauges seem to all work to some degree.  Speedometer does not appear to be accurate at higher speeds, although it does seem to be within reason under 35 MPH.  Gas gauge is clearly off, since it never reads over 3/8 full.  Turn signals don't always cancel.  Wipers work, although it could use new blades.

Tires have plenty of tread, although they are clearly not new.  They do not appear to be weather-checked or age-checked, and all four on the ground hold air well.  I haven't checked the spare tire pressure, although it does thump solid.

A regular rust problem with this year El Camino is just below the rear window.  This car does not show rust problems here, nor do I see signs of prior repairs.  Most of the trim is there and good.  I have a complete set of letters to be installed on the tailgate. 

The car runs decent, although it could be better with a good tuneup.  I drive it to one of the local club's monthly cruise night several times a year, and have never had a problem.

This is a good candidate for restoration or a later-model rat rod.  Spend the winter working on it and have nice cruiser come spring!  Buyer responsible for shipping from St. Louis metro area.  I will work with your shipper or help you load on your car hauler trailer.  Cash is preferred, but cashier's check will be accepted, although I will hold the title until the check clears.  With cash in hand, you will receive clean title and bill of sale at time of payment.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024.

It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

These are 2014's best-selling cars and trucks

Tue, Jan 6 2015

Now that 2014 is no more than a set of numbers on spreadsheets, at last, the grist mill gets its first real load to chew on. The number one selling vehicle in America last year was the Ford F-Series, a fact that should surprise you only if your family name is Van Winkle and your naps tend to last 38 years, which is how long the Ford pickup has ruled our buying landscape. Even though series sales were down 1.3 percent, it still racked up 753,851 units. That's 2,065.3 sales per day, every day, all year. The Chevrolet Silverado, up 10.3 percent for the year, was still a daylight second at 529,755 units. The cab-and-bed love continued into third place with the Ram 1500-3500 trucks, gaining 23.6-percent year-on-year to clock 439,789 units. The robust turnout at The Bighorn and Jeep helped Fiat-Chrysler increase its sales by 16 percent, past the two-million mark. Our number one car? The Toyota Camry, staying in first place with a 4.9-percent sales boost to 428,606 sales, trailed again by the Honda Accord at number five with 388,374 sales. Accord sales rose six percent, and if it's any consolation to Honda for coming in second - not that it needs one - it is the only manufacturer to have three vehicles in the top ten. The rest of the list: the Nissan Altima with 335,644 sales (+4.7%), the Honda CR-V with 355,019 (+10.2%), the Toyota Corolla/Matrix combo with 339,498 (+5.9%), the Honda Civic with 325,981 (-3.1%), and the Ford Fusion with 306,860 sales (+2.9%). Total sales for the year were up six percent to 16.5 million vehicles, a volume not seen since 2006, aided by a strong December that was up by 11 percent year-on-year. Ford was the top selling brand overall but sales didn't really budge from 2013, while Subaru rocketed up 21 percent to finish with 513,693 sales. At the precious end, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Land Rover all had record years, and Kelley Blue Book thinks we could be looking at 17 million sales for the next two or three years. Looks like it's time to start making hay again...
