Rare 1959 Chevrolet El Camino on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
Up for auction is my father's rare 1959 Chevrolet El Camino. First year for the El Camino and unique styling for this year. Way nicer than the 1960 and later models. These do not come up for sale very often. This car was done about 20 years ago. Not a frame off or expensive restoration. Was built to be driven not parked in a garage all its life. Was given fresh paint and a decent interior. This car is NOT a show car, just a daily driver. But from what I have seen for sale for this year El Camino, it is very nice. 90% of the trim is original to the car, only replaced what was missing. I included pictures of some of the nicks and scratches that are on the car. Some bubbling on the rocker panels, and some rust underneath the car. Overall good paint, shows very nice. He had a fiberglass tonneau cover built for it, but can be removed easily. The skirts are not original to the car, so the fit can be a littler better, but still looks cool. Interior is in good shape, nothing fancy, again, this was done 20 years ago. Replaced the rear sway bar, fuel pump and tires. 4 new Hankook tires with about 60 miles on them. Starter may need to be replaced soon, but I am not replacing, I do not want to put any more money into the car, I want to stay married. Small Block 350 motor, runs strong. My father drove the car on Sundays, so it shouldn't have too many miles on it. Edelbrock Performer intake, and Edelbrock 650 carb. Turbo 350 transmission. As far as we know, the car has never been in an accident. Pretty straight car. My dad bought the car in Texas and was there(El Paso) for the last 20 some years, so we are assuming it has always been a desert car. I have posession of the car now, in Phoenix AZ. All in all this a great looking car that needs a little more TLC. Great as is, or can be restored to be a great show piece. Buyer is responible for shipping, I will be willing to drive the car to a local shipper here in Phoenix and surrounding areas.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
