1959 Elcamino Street Hot Rat Rod 59 Chevy Chevrolet El Camino Til End Of January on 2040-cars

 PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION TO UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, BEFORE BIDDING OR OFFERING. I WILL LIST THIS CAR/TRUCK UNTIL JANUARY 31, 2014, THEN THE HIGHEST OFFER GETS CALLED BACK FIRST. If that person doesn't fall through, second highest gets called next, etc. Until it's sold. Only offers with phone numbers are contacted. TO END SUSPICION, I am only selling this because I have too many toys for one person, had this one the longest of them. Now, here's the details. Over ten years ago I bought a stripped 59 Elcamino with no interior, but complete otherwise. Sold the old fashioned motor/trans (not sure if they were original), bought a 1982 Chevy pickup, slid the frame from it under the original X frame, welded them together, made braces where they didn't meet, and drove it and had it inspected every year since. Including now. Including the initial required inspection it had to pass to get the reconstructed title to show it was done properly. DON'T BE SCARED OF THE RECONSTRUCTED TITLE. It is only reconstructed because of the alterations I made, not because of any accidents. The title itself no longer states 1959 Chevrolet, it is just stamped "reconstructed" multiple times. It is traced to the El by a new VIN plate issued by Penndot that was riveted to the upper firewall. But it is still currently insured (and garaged) as a custom 59 Elcamino by Grundy Worldwide for about $250 a year full coverage including towing. The body is all original, from what I can tell, and is starting to get a few rust bubbles here and there. Noticable only close up, so far. The "teeth" grille is in now, but I also have the original grille, in great condition, that goes with it. The motor is a 1973 Chevy Nova 350 4 barrel Edelbrock carb with HEI distributor. The transmission is a mid 70's Turbo 350 with non lockup converter. The rear is from a 1968 Nova and is a positraction unit. The entire functional frame is a 1982 Chevy 2WD pickup truck frame from a truck that was inspected and driven regularly by it's previous owner, until he didn't want it anymore. That's also where the motor and trans came from. The interior was amateur redone, as I did it to enjoy, not trailer and brag. Flame headliner, door panels, and floor mats. Currently has a bench seat in it from a late 80's pickup where the seat frame was altered to sit lower and match the interior. Not ripped, torn, or busted, just doesn't match (it's blue), so I threw a blanket on it for now. Really just needs a seat cover to match. Dash has original speedometer, fuel, and temp gauges that appear to work good. Aftermarket battery and oil pressure gauges mounted in the other two dash pods. Tachometer is mounted in the Bud can on the side of the hood scoop. Hood scoop is cutout and functional, but if you want it off, I still have the hood piece I cut out, and it can be welded back in and bodyworked to perfection. Everything on this car/truck works. In the back, I cut out the wheel humps in the bed, and flattened them out because it sits high enough that they are no longer needed. The same with the floor hump under the dash. Flattened and gone. The custom made bed cover is one piece fiberglass, and opens like a hood. I welded in hood hinges. Tailgate still opens and closes. Gas tank is from the 1982 donor truck. That's about all I can tell you. Any questions, ask. It is currently PA inspected until 09/14. Rims are Cragar S/S 15X10 rears and 15X8 front. Rear tires are new, fronts are good used. Reverse lights are under rear bumper. Shifter is floor from an 80's Camaro. **********BONUS************ I have almost enough extra parts to practically build another 59 Elcamino. New fenders, doors and quarters. Good used tailgate, gauges, trim, glass, etc. No frame or hood. $2000 firm if you want all the extra parts with it. If not, I'll part them out.

Send an e address and I'll send them.
