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

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American 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.
