RE-LISTING due to non paying bidder.......... with lower reserve.

One very straight, clean 1965 El Camino. RARE factory options. Basically a one owner car from California, ended up in Idaho by original owner in his early 80's.

FACTORY remote driver's mirror.
FACTORY AM/FM radio.
FACTORY A/C,
FACTORY TILT WHEEL,
FACTORY SOFT RAY GLASS (light green), MINT CONDITION.
FACTORY VINYL TOP, (how many of those do you see? Needs replacing though).
V8 327. Runs fine.
TURBO GLIDE Tranny........ Just serviced, and shifts PERFECT.
FACTORY Power Steering.
FACTORY Power Brakes.
FACTORY 12 Bolt Rear End.

After market cruise control, and tach. Original color is SIERRA TAN, repainted, a root beer brown. The bed is straight......... protected by a serialized hard fiberglass tonneau cover. Old school Torque Thrust rims, with Toyo tires. All stainless is there, and straight.

CONS: Has minor dent by driver's side tail light, an easy fix, and has a primered tailgate with '66 emblem. One very fixable rust spot when you open passenger door, below door hinge, on top of rocker panel. Another small spot developing on panel behind driver's seat. Dimple in grille, and front bumper has some dents, otherwise straight. ALL ORIGINAL. A RESTORER'S/COLLECTOR'S dream! (NOTE: That is not rust on windshiels post).

PROS: The original owner from California was worried about rust issues being in snow country, and had the entire undercarriage heavily undercoated........... "twice", because he was so worried about snow. Snow doesn't (always) cause rust! Salt does. That was prior to the State of Idaho laying both salt on freeways, and Magnesium Chloride at intersections in city limits in 2002? So this Elky is pretty much RUST FREE. I have the original carb...... 4bbl, which was replaced with a Holley 4bbl electric choke, the original owner's "PROTECT-O-PLATE", and owner's manual. So, if you're looking to restore a '65, this one may be for you. Does not have typical rusted out quarters, or fenders.

I will add more pics soon.
Will assist with shipping, clear Idaho title in hand. Paypal or Cashier's Check..............No payment, No Elky. Sold "as is", "where is". Buyer's responsibility to arrange shipping. Seller reserves right to end listing at any time. No disappointments here, so serious bidders feel free to call with any questions at 2 zero 8 968 9729......... leave a message after the Magic Jack greeting! I'll return your call. Good luck bidding.

ADDITIONAL:
To answer a few phone questions: No, the A/C is not ICE cold, but it's all there, it does blow cool in my 80 degree weather. There's a lot of play in the steering, an easy fix.
Paint looks WAY better in pics. than it really is. In dire need of COMPLETE paint, and vinyl top. Has rear air shocks, but has slow leak. I will "try" to fix, or replace before listing ends. Yes, the
tonneau cover opens, closes, and locks perfectly. It's in terrific shape for it's age, having only one minor chip. All panels are straight, and I cannot find any bondo anywhere. Quarters, fenders,
and floor boards are ROCK solid. All stainless is there, and very nice....... just needs polishing. Lighted glove compartment. Doors are solid, having no sagging hinges. Inner quarters are very solid. All glass is mint.
Bed has some dents on panel below driver's rear glass, otherwise VERY impressive. Try not to have any doubts about having to replace a typical '65 bed, beat up undercarriage, or rust issues.
This Elk fires up, rides, and sounds great. NO mechanical, or electrical issues. Nothing has been "hacked". What you see, is what you'll get. Pretty much bone stock. NOT a Show Car, or Hotrod (yet), but
the winning bidder will def. be proud to own, restore, or drive as is. I threw in a pic. of rare 1965 Z16, to show what this El Camino could like with a little imagination, a few thousand $$$,
talent, free time, and sweat. Nothing is perfect on these older cars. If you have a "zero" next to your Username, you'll have to call me prior to bidding. I hope I've described this '65 "Diamond in the Rough" as honest
as possible. I just want another fellow "Chevy Lover" to be happy.
NO disappointments here. Now is your time to call with any questions, or concerns before listing ends. Bid with confidence. GOOD LUCK................

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
