Up for sale is a bitchin 59 El Camino – one of a kind. This car has just undergone a 3 year nut and bolt
restoration with tons of time and money invested. There are not a whole lot of 59 El Caminos out there like this
one. If you are in the market for a good example, you need to consider this car. Look at the 24 pics, you will see
that this isn't your average restored 59.
This car was built with long term investment in mind. Nothing has been altered to permanently affect the cars
integrity or originality. Nothing was cut or welded. The car could easily be put back to stock later on down the
road if someone wanted to do so.
This is a very thorough build with everything new, rebuilt, replaced, or restored. Every single clip, screw,
bearing, seal, nut and bolt has been gone through on this car. It was done right and it shows.
The underside of the car was completely detailed and looks great. The frame was striped and painted semi-gloss
black. The floors were coated in 3m Shutz coating. This is a very fine textured coating that holds up very well.
All the suspension and front end parts were either powder coated or shot in base clear.
The car was in Arizona, where it had been most of its life. This was a super solid car to start with and was one
of the best unrestored El Caminos I had ever seen.
These are not easy or cheap cars to restore to this level. They don’t reproduce a lot for them and parts can be
tough to find. There are a ton of man hours into this build.
The paint on the car was professionally done and looks great! It is very slick and has been color sanded and
buffed to a glass finish. All DuPont materials were used. It’s done in a 2014 Corvette red.
Every piece of stainless, aluminum, or chrome was refinished. The one piece bumpers have been replated.
The inside of the bed is beautiful. Lots and Lots of hours went into just the bed alone.
The entire engine compartment was finished with great detail. The firewall is painted body color, as is the
underside of the hood. As you can see everything was painted apart. No painted-over bolt heads, all hardware is
either new or blasted and re-coated original. Lots of time and money spent getting the engine compartment to look
as good as it does.
Everything under the hood is brand new. The motor is a rebuilt 327 that runs very smooth. It has a polished Demon
Carb, billet HEI distributor; Billet Specialties streamline valve covers and air cleaner that were shot in red.
Stainless headers, polished intake, pulleys, wire looms and more. All hoses, wires, and anything else that could
be replaced was.
The tranny is a Muncie 4 speed that shifts nice and functions as it should.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
