This is a very special, beautiful investment grade Chevrolet Cameo. It boasts actual titled milage of only 18,586 documented miles. In the last nine years, it has only been driven less than 2000 miles. Odometer currently reads 20,111 miles.
Historically, one of the most important pickups of all time. A frame up restoration was completed by the owner of a renowned Nevada Chevrolet dealership, Airway Chevrolet. This Cameo was in the Airway Chevrolet collection for many years. There is no evidence of any panel replacement nor body repair. Absolutely a rust free, low milage, rare and incredible Cameo with all west coast history.
This was originally born a six cylinder truck. The stove bolt six was replaced with the correct 265 CID V-8. Beautifully done. This motor has only several hundred miles on it and runs remarkably smooth. Column shift manual transmission. All the original gauges are working and the mechanicals are in excellent condition. New wiring. Beautiful oak wood bed. Very good widow glass and gaskets, brakes. Rebuilt front suspension. Interior is in excellent condition. To get the most pleasure from this low milage Cameo, you have to get behind the wheel and drive it. Honestly, it feels like you were taking it fresh out of the showroom in 1955! The dual exhaust with mild resonating tunes from the old school glass pack mufflers, make you forget that the original AM radio is not working. Starts immediately with the first turn of the key.
Comparably, this rare, wonderful Cameo is listed with an extremely reasonable buy it now price. Bid with confidence. This is one of the lowest milage Chevrolet Cameo's in existence and an excellent driving vehicle. Additional photo's available upon request. Call me before 9:00PM MST at 480-734-4545 with any relevent questions or to discuss the Cameo. Sorry, not interested in trades, nor third party salesman.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Recharge Wrap-up: Phoenix Cars delivers ZEUS to Navy, Volt saves gas compared to i-MiEV
Thu, Apr 23 2015Phoenix Cars has delivered its first Zero Emissions Utility Shuttle (ZEUS) flatbed truck to the US Navy. The electric flatbed will be used to transport maintenance materials around Naval Base Ventura County Port Hueneme. The Phoenix ZEUS features a 100-mile range, and can charge in just three hours. It also features vehicle-to-grid technology and direct power capability, allowing it to function as a mobile power station. ZEUS customers enjoy an eight-year/300,000-mile battery warranty and round-the-clock technical support from Phoenix. Phoenix launched an electric passenger shuttle last year, and years ago worked on an electric sport utility truck before shifting over to larger vehicles. Read more in the press release from Phoenix Cars. A man found that he used less gas by trading in his Mitsubishi i-MiEV for a Chevrolet Volt. Ben Rich saved fuel in part by using his Volt for road trips rather than needing to rent cars. Rich also found other benefits to driving a Volt, including more comfort, more freedom of movement and less range anxiety. Rich often had to turn off the heat in the winter to eke out precious miles in the Mitsubishi, which he needn't do in the Chevy, though he did have a gripe about the Volt using the gas motor to warm the car.
