Looks like my son and his father inlaw found a good find yesterday. Picked up a 70 ElCamino, very little rust for $2400. Still has the original running gear in it and it runs. It's a 350 pickup. Everything seems to work, just needs a a TLC to get it back on the road.

That would look good towing your car. Bowtie smiley

I have a spare LS5 (72'), it just needs to be machined and assembled. I often think an ElCo would be a great home for that engine.

I'm jealous of the Pacific NW region...seems to be more El Caminos were sold in that area than anywhere else in the US.
Great buy!!

I told them if they don't buy it I will. Running it's worth double what they he paid for it. Brakes work on it and it's been stored in a dry place. Like said won't take much to get it on the road.

Ray, it looks like you will be doing another frame off. I hope you haven't put all of your tools up yet:D

Talked to him this morning and they were driving it yesterday. Not sure if my son or his wife's father is going to keep it. If they don't keep it I will.

Super nice find! Hope you can wrangle it from the boy. It looks like a nice car for a BB swap! :D

Do you think you will be successful ?

There's a chance. They will get bored with it anytime. I keep asking about it.
