PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION TO UNDERSTAND THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY, BEFORE BIDDING OR OFFERING. Only offers with phone numbers are contacted. I have a price in my head that I'll go no lower than. If you want it now, $8000 supersedes everyone else, or make an offer (with your number), and you may still get it. TO END SUSPICION, I am only selling this because I have too many toys for one guy, had this one the longest of them. Now here's the details. RIDES LIKE A NEW TRUCK. Frame alteration did nothing to the ride. 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 2WD pickup, took the frame from it, and drivetrain, and slid it under the Elcamino, and welded the 1982 frame to the original Xframe, and made braces where they didn't meet. I 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 new 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 $18000 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 have the original grille in great shape, that goes with it. The motor is a 1973 Nova 350 Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and HEI distributor. The transmission is a 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 from it's previous owner, until he didn't need it anymore. That's also where the motor and trans came from. The exhaust is manifolds (don't like headers) with all stainless steel 2 1/4 exhaust true duals front to back. 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 truck where I altered the seat frame to sit lower and match the original height. 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 truck, 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 thing with the floor hump under the dash. Flattened and gone. The custom made bedcover 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 fronts. Rear tires are new, fronts are good used. Reverse lights are under rear bumper. Shifter is from an 80's Camaro. ######BONUS######## I have about enough extra parts to practically build another 59 Elcamino. New fenders, doors and quarters. Good used tailgate, gauges, trim, glass, etc. No frame, hood, or roof. $2000 firm if you want the extra parts with the El. If not, I'll part them out, after I know the new owner doesn't want them, and not before then, by listing them individually on Ebay.

Send an e address and I'll send them.
