*** PLEASE READ IN FULL AND OR CALL ME DIRECT AT 845-558-5706 with questions!*** (photos will be listed this afternoon) I am offering my 1979 Chevy El Camino "Candy O". I am the proud owner of this vehicle for now 10 years! This was a FRAME OFF RESTORATION done 4 years ago. I am going to explain the detail but I could write for days so again call or e-mail with questions. Car is an original V8/Th350 automatic. I installed a 1971 Camaro 307 V8 4 years ago. The mileage on the engine at that point in time was about 55k. The guy with camaro put in 600+hp engine and had no use for original engine. This was a score for me. The engine was a virgin as they come. Rated at 9.1 Compression and 200hp it is more powerful that the typical 1980's 350 and superior over the 140hp 305's of the same time period! I installed HEI ignition as well as a 1980 Corvette Rochester 4 barell mated to an Edlebrock proformer intake backed by $1000.00 of pypes dual exhaust and ceramic headers! Going easy pushing 240 HP if not better. ZERO running issues at all. I put at least 35,000k on it since I installed the engine. The point in case is the car didn't sit around. I used it again and again! The transmission is a Th350 3 speed automatic. I had this rebuilt by a professional trans shop in NJ. MAYBE if it has 10k on it that would be a lot. The complete front end was rebuilt, all new upper/lower conrol arm bushings, springs all around, new calipers, brake drums, master cylinder. EVERY SINGLE BRAKE LINE was replaced BRAND NEW. YES EVERY LINE.... BRAND NEW (7 out of 10 G Body GM cars have time bomb brake lines ticking away waiting to explode and leave you stranded). All new flex hoses. The body was removed from the chassis and I replaced the whole chassis with a perfect rot free one! (The prior chassis was rotted in 3 places) ALL NEW BODY MOUNTS WERE INSTALLED. AM/FM CD player, speakers in box behind seat. The bottom of the car is just about new. NO HOLES IN FLOORS. NO HOLES IN BODY.Bottom of the car painted in satin black 4 years ago. The rear end was rebuilt and 3.42 gears were installed. It has massive acceleration power from a standstill. Most lazy rear ends were 2.41 2.73 in these cars. NO WIRING ISSUES WHATSOEVER. Everything works, all lights, horn, heater. It is a FACTORY STYLE NO A/C car. (included but not shown in photos is a complete A/C unit I saved from another car of same vintage as well as many other misc odd items I have hoarded away, trim, mechanical, etc- There is a street value in these items alone. All goes with car upon sale)The bed will be loaded with all extra parts for new owner to keep or sell. The paint was stripped to the bare metal and car is painted with basecoat/clear Diamont products (not cheap ). Bumpers are like new, the only defect I want to mention is some surface paint bubbles in both front corners of the doors. THE DOORS ARE NOT ROTTED! They are solid as a rock. This is common in this 78-88 G body cars as that is where moisture collects. If this is offensive to you $500 addition will correct it before you take the car. If not you take it as is. I have ZERO to hide and most would not even mention it. It's not even that bad I am honest seller and don't have time to waste by telling stories. I live in NY 10920. Car is also for local sale. Listing may end at any given time. IF you want the car come view in person if need be. If you bid on it from far away, know and understand that bid is contract. I don't want to deal with confused people who don't have the money or bid for the purpose of their entertainment. The car is well worth $10,000 if not better. My RESERVE IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT. I don't owe this car a nickel. It's been with me ten years. I am bailing out and calling it a day. FAR MORE IN IT THAT IT'S ACTUAL VALUE. Terms of sale are as follows. $500 pay pal deposit no more than 24 hours after end of auction. If you DO NOT HAVE IT, DO NOT BID. The rest cash in hand, bank check, or direct deposit. I am not going to ACCEPT PAY PAL as payment of car, if that is your intention do business elsewhere. This isn't a part, this is a vehicle. A vehicle I am giving away, so let's make this transaction quick and to the point. The full amount is due no more than 7 days after the end of auction. All non paying bidders will be reported. Please be serious and back up your bid for the fairness of others. Car is AS/IS, WHERE IS in NY 10920. Buyer is responsible for all transport fees to their home. Come pick up and drive home after paid in full. I have a CLEAN NY tittle in my name. It is the ownership of the vehicle. Do your homework.... $1500-3000 or so buys you junk. You will put more into something you buy for that price. I did all the work for you, find the money. This is worth it. I have others at a local level who dream about this so I'm just waiting on an educated cash offer and it leaves my life.... time waits for no one.... no favorites. Thanks for reading.....
