Great El Camino Base Standard Cab Pickup – Chevy 2 Door 140,000 actual miles located in High 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 – the best of both a car-truck … CRUCK – some call these an Elky! Great Burgundy original paint for 28-years old – absolutely no body repairs, no rust except for one small spot - minor surface rust from rock chips back rear tire - passenger side. Interior Burgundy cloth, Front Disc Brakes – Rear Wheel Drive.  See the images.

SALE INCLUDES a good SLIM STYLE - CUSTOM TOPPER Image #23  is of a similar topper - a $400 value.  Let me know if you want a photo of the existing topper - it is in storage -  fits like a glove.   Also, has a removable rubber bed mat.

Ready to just drive or fix up and show. Mileage is now 140,000. 

ORIGINAL 305 V8 - RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT.  A lightly used car - not driven in winter - no rust - a solid good driving car.

No issues with under-carriage, no leaks, no problems.  AIR CONDITIONER WORKS NEEDS TO BE RECHARGED. 4 Speed Automatic transmission.  For more information you can go to this El Camino website.

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! You can contact me on my cell:  660.988.8064

The auction winner will need $500.00 down PayPal and balance PAYMENT TO BE MADE BY BANK TO BANK TRANSFER WITHIN 7 DAYS, I WILL FED EX TITLE NEXT DAY AFTER PAYMENT IS CLEARED, CLEAR TRANSFERRABLE MISSOURI TITLE IN MY NAME.

Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war

Mon, Jun 4 2018

Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
