RELISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BUYER! This sold several weeks ago but the high bidder kept saying "check is in the mail", "I couldn't get to the Post Office" then "I need a few more days.....weeks" and finally he asked if he could send me the deposit in two installments and the balance next month. I cancelled the sale through Ebay and sent "second chance offers" to the prior bidders. I hate to do it but I have to. Here it is, my 1959 Chevy El Camino....... This car runs and drives perfectly. The original 348ci engine purrs like a kitten with no smoke at all, no noises or anything needing fixing other than the tri carb linkage. It's running off of the center carb perfectly & I have all of the linkage but it needs to be installed (if you want). This is a 348ci tri carb engine. 4 speed on the floor manual transmission The paint is excellent! It shines like a mirror with absolutely no waves, orange peel, scuffs or scrapes. The chrome is also perfect & shines like the day it was new. The gauges all work along with all of the lights. It runs so well that even if it's been sitting for days, you can lean into the car, turn the key & it starts up and idles smoothly without touching the gas peddle! Newly replaced items: Brakes Exhaust system Tie rods, ball joints etc. 4 new Tires Generator/power steering pump Steering box Interior I'll think of more and add it to this listing. The interior has new door panels & the original bench seat was recovered to match The bodywork was completed before the car was shipped to me.The foor pan and rear quarter panels were replaced. Please ask questions before bidding. If you have "0" or bad feedback, I'm sorry but I'll have to remove your bid if you don't contact me first. You are welcome to come to Greenwich, CT to inspect the car & I'll take you for a short ride down the road. If you buy this & come here and say it's now as advertised, we can cancel the deal. It's that good! If you are unable to get here before the auction ends, look up a few of the Connecticut car clubs & get someone to inspect it for you. That's what I did when it was in Arizona & it worked out perfectly. He made the deal for me and put me together with the body shop for the paint work. I'm on a HGTV show (Flea Market Flip) & don't need anyone trashing me online. Questions answered during the first auction listing: 1. I've now had three people who have asked if it's safe enough to drive to Texas, California and Kansas. Could you drive it that far? Sure, you could but would you really want to? No a/c & these cars have low ratio rear end gears so they aren't high speed highway rockets. Back in '59, people used to go a lot slower. If you want to go that far at 55 or 60mph, be my guest but if I were buying a classic car (like I did), call Reliable Carriers (they do the Barrett Jackson vehicles). It cost me $1160 for them to deliver it from Arizona to my house in Connecticut. 2. Yes! This is the car that's been seen several times on ABC;s "Good Morning America" with Lara Spencer behind the wheel! It's also appeared on HGTV (I'm on "Flea Market Flip" also with Lara) as well as a few calendars. 3 BUY IT NOW. Yes, I did have a "Buy It Now" price of $34,000 but if an item gets a bid, the buy it now option goes away. I will sell it for the original Buy It Now price. Questions. Please text me your questions.
