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.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
