1959 Chevrolet El Camino Restored With Many Nos Parts One Owner 427 Big Block 59 on 2040-cars
Arvada, Colorado, United States
|
Documented one owner car from 1959 to 2012. Sold new in Denver, Colorado and has been here since. The original owner enjoyed this ElCamino so much that he went to the local Chevrolet dealer in the mid 60's and purchased all new bed stainless, side stainless, headlight bezels, grill and tail light bezel then put them in his attic knowing he would one day restore his ElCamino. The car was driven occasionally all through the 1980 when it was parked. In 2007 he decided to restore it. Upon having a concourse body and paint job done the NOS parts were installed! None of the trim parts are reproduced for 59 or 60 ElCaminos, making these cars very difficult to restore. With this car having all NOS trim, sets it apart from the rest. All of the chrome plating was sent out for show chrome. The interior was completed in correct impala materials made by Cars Inc. It has a modern digital stereo fitting in the stock location in the dash and also has a 15" Impala steering wheel. The chassis was detailed and all suspension parts were rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints etc. Four wheel power disc brakes were installed. A fully rebuilt fuel injected 427 was mated to a fresh TH400 automatic transmission. The power steering was upgraded to a 605 steering box. The sunbrella toneau cover is snapped on with small brackets that do not require holes to be drilled in the bed stainless. The inside of the bed is body worked and nicely painted body color, then only the ribbed part of the bed covered in outdoor gray carpet. It looks very professional. The rear window is original and in nice condition, the rest of the glass is new. This car was done to a very high level that is rarely seen on 59 ElCaminos. As restoration costs sore, this car is selling for less than it cost to restore. It is ready to enjoy and needs nothing...... Show quality, fast, fun to drive and reliable. This is an auction, so I will not be disclosing the reserve. Look at my feedback and I have been a Ebay member for 14 years. This should give you confidence in bidding on my car and knowing its described in a honest fashion. If you have questions, please contact me at 303 475-4544

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
