1971 Chevy / Chevrolet El Camino - Hot Pro Street Rat Rod - Drag Car - 770hp on 2040-cars
Payson, Illinois, United States
|
A QUICK LOOK - 1971 Chevy El Camino - Straight body / decent paint / good underside - Lots of restoration work done - 770HP / 550TQ 383 stroker (built by Hovis Racing Engines) - Replacement cost of engine alone is $10,900 - 10.5 tire / stock suspension - Clear title / factory VIN tag still in stock location / Vin & title match - Stock glass in front and sides – windows roll up and down - Make a great hard core pro-streeter – maybe do an E-85 conversion? - Relatively easy street conversion (basic lighting / E-85 / exhaust / tires) - Selling for a fraction of investment to build - $20K+ in receipts - Have dyno sheets for the motor - Nice Tig-welded cage (professionally installed) - Was told that owner had $30K+ in the build - Don’t want the big horsepower motor…Sell it and you’ve got a NICE El Camino that you could put any Chevy motor in and just cruise it around. Other than minor street conversion work, doesn’t need anything else. - Street Outlaws candidate??? - A little bit different…..but still all Chevrolet - I like El Caminos (a lot)….If you don’t…..Look at it as a $30,000 Chevelle for a fraction of the money!!!
This car was a long term project that the builder spent a LOT of money on…..Basically he took the car and did any needed restoration work on it, and then painted it Viper Yellow ( I have the paint codes). It does have some chips here and there (see pic’s), but the paint is sharp and the body is very good….as is the underside. It does have a patch in the smugglers hatch, which is very common for these cars. The car is powered by a 770HP 383 stroker that was built by Hovis racing engines. The transmission is a Powerglide and the rearend is a 9-inch with 4:86 gears using a stock suspension setup. The builder and the 2nd owner (buddies / trade deal) never really got to race the car seriously, but it did get some shakedown runs. I bought the car from the creator of Dawson’s demon (The world’s fastest hotrod) The shakedown runs on the car were made by none other than Wild Bill Weckman, who is the owner of the world’s fastest street Corvette On the (3) shakedown runs this Elky ran a best ET of 10.92 @ 123.71MPH There was a pile of money spent to make this Elky what it is today….My price however is a fraction of what it took to build this car. My master plan was to convert it from Methanol to E-85 and street drive it for Sh*ts and giggles, but other commitments are getting in the way. The car is all steel except for the hood. It has a good body and decent paint, with way more horsepower than any street car needs....AND is priced to sell!!!!
It has all of the stock glass in it (except for the rear window is Lexan because of the cage bars)…The factory glass side windows do roll up and down. The dash is fabricated, but they did a really good job and it fits the car well….You could go back to the stock dash if you want though. The stock firewall is behind the aluminum one. The factory VIN tag is still in its stock location and is easily visible…The clear title in my name matches the VIN tag…and the VIN tag matches the title……..I have the clear “title in hand” Cage was professionally installed and is Tig welded (nice work – see pic’s) Car has been stored for a while, so I’m sure it will need some minor tweaking / tuning and a good safety check over.
ELKY IS LOCATED IN QUINCY IL (ZIP CODE 62301), THIS IS THE WEST-CENTRAL PART OF ILLINOIS SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED SHIPPING CHARGES / ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
