Springs, Florida - 32643. Today I have a really
great deal for you! Of course you want to know as much as possible
in making a decision on this vehicle. My son needed dependable
transportation for his college years in December 2010. Without a lot
of cash – due to college tuition, but still wanting to have some cool factor on
campus -- he asked me to help him locate a Chevy El Camino. We are the 4th owners. You can be the 5th. Due to a local couple divorce, the husband's toy a 1986
El Camino – V8 305 engine – was required to be sold to divide the couple’s
assets. It was a local car - Mid-west in great original shape with
few owners. It had 112,000 original miles at the time – at an
excellent price for us then and that savings is being transferred to you now. Vin #: 3GCCW80H8GS914726 never has been
in an accident. A great looking CAR – a great looking PICKUP TRUCK –

4 Speed Automatic transmission. For more information you can go to
this El Camino website. Your standard 1986 El
Camino - https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/El-Camino/1986-Chevrolet-El-Camino.pdf The car has been a great
investment, and we have done all needed maintenance. Just in the
last two-years we have installed a new transmission -- which has one more year
remaining on its three-year warranty. Complete set of 4 new tires.
Packed the bearing in the hubs, and in June 2014 the engine had a complete
change of all fluids and replacement of hoses and belts – lights, and
everything checked and repaired. The repair bills will be given with
the title – in all over $3,000. In July the car was driven non-stop
from Missouri to Florida – with not a bit of trouble – it is reliable. You
can buy it - pick it up and drive it home – wherever that might be in the USA. So… you have to now be
wondering – SO WHAT GIVES?? Why sell a car that has everything updated, is paid
for and would be great drive for years? WHY???? Here’s why… My son worked hard while
in school to pay for his education and graduated with his degree in Science in
May 2014. He found a job and moved to High Springs, Florida – that
is why the car is now there. As a reward for
completing his degree, his mom and I offered him a brand new car for his
graduation gift and to get a start in life. He did not want a NEW
car – he wanted a MINT classic one – a convertible, with style, that would be
perfect for Florida. He has parked the El
Camino and now drives a low mileage - mint 1970 Cutlass Supreme Convertible a
real classic - purchased from the National Muscle Car Dealer – it was the
dealer’s personal car for his lake home. You might have seen it for
sale last month on eBay. Trust me jaws drop when that car drives past – I know –
I picked it up in Chicago and drove it to him in Florida. FYI - THE LAST IMAGE IS OF MY SON'S NEW 1970 CUTLASS SUPREME - NOT FOR SALE - INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY He doesn't need
two cars, so someone out there can have this ready to go El Camino. The funds from the sale will go to needed corrective eye surgery for my son. Do you have a kid in
high school or college that needs a good car? Do you need a
dependable pick-up truck? Get this CRUCK – ELKY now. I doubt it will last
long on eBay! I have a 100% customer
satisfaction in my eBay Buyer reviews. I want you to be Happy too!

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 natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
IIHS: High numbers of drivers treat partially automated cars as fully self-driving
Tue, Oct 11 2022WASHINGTON — Drivers using advanced driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot or General Motors Super Cruise often treat their vehicles as fully self-driving despite warnings, a new study has found. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), an industry funded group that prods automakers to make safer vehicles, said on Tuesday a survey found regular users of Super Cruise, Nissan/Infiniti ProPILOT Assist and Tesla Autopilot "said they were more likely to perform non-driving-related activities like eating or texting while using their partial automation systems than while driving unassisted." The IIHS study of 600 active users found 53% of Super Cruise, 42% of Autopilot and 12% of ProPILOT Assist owners "said that they were comfortable treating their vehicles as fully self-driving." About 40% of users of Autopilot and Super Cruise — two systems with lockout features for failing to pay attention — reported systems had at some point switched off while they were driving and would not reactivate. "The big-picture message here is that the early adopters of these systems still have a poor understanding of the technologyÂ’s limits," said IIHS President David Harkey. The study comes as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is scrutinizing Autopilot crashes. Since 2016, the NHTSA has opened 37 special investigations involving 18 deaths in crashes involving Tesla vehicles and where systems like Autopilot were suspected of use. Tesla did not respond to requests for comment. Tesla says Autopilot does not make vehicles autonomous and is intended for use with a fully attentive driver who is prepared to take over. GM, which in August said owners could use Super Cruise on 400,000 miles (643,740 km) of North American roads and plans to offer Super Cruise on 22 models by the end of 2023, did not immediately comment. IIHS said advertisements for Super Cruise focus on hands-free capabilities while Autopilot evokes the name used in passenger airplanes and "implies TeslaÂ’s system is more capable than it really is." IIHS in contrast noted ProPILOT Assist "suggests that itÂ’s an assistance feature, rather than a replacement for the driver." NHTSA and automakers say none of the systems make vehicles autonomous. Nissan said its name "is clearly communicating ProPILOT Assist as a system to aid the driver, and it requires hands-on operation.
