1984 El Camino Choo Choo Clone on 2040-cars
Vernon, British Columbia, Canada
|
Please no emails, calls only (250) 308-7538. I purchased this car in the Washington desert outside of Yakima. It was original paint and exceptionally straight. I purchased it to make a white Choo Choo because I always wanted a white one and could never find one good enough. So $25000 later here it is. I have owned 4 Choo Choo El Caminos and know these cars well. I never liked the cheap hood scoops so I put a steel cowl hood on this one. The motor was great but I had a 50000 mile Cutlass with a 305 that I sacrificed just to have the best. I never went to a 350 because I have a heavy foot and not much self control. It is all stock with the exception of the air cleaner that fits in the cowl hood. It has all new shocks and springs purchased new and are SS Monte.I had it in the body shop for a year. They stripped it to bare metal, removed the doors and front end and took out the windows. All the rubbers are new plus the window felts. The old windshield was replaced with a new one only because I thought it would be nice. All the exhaust is new plus I put every thing new on the engine when we changed it . Also all new seals and gaskets in the tranny. all the brakes including drums, rotors and calipers are also new. This car is really probably better than new. I also put in am am fm cd player with with mp3 plug. This should be a steal for somebody at $12500 US. Please don't waste my time if you are not serious because I feel bad enoughgiving this thing away. PS: Also, the wheels are 18" Irocs with Firestone Firehawks. Car drives better than new. Air is ice cold. Exhaust sounds great, most people think it is a big block or a hyped up 350. It really sounds awesome. |

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
