My first wheels at age 16 was a 74 El Camino and having sold it in college to pay tuition, it's been a long time coming in getting to a time I could own another. Just got myself a 1981 model with a new 350 bored by a local shop, Flowmaster exhaust, Edelbrock torquer intake, Sportsman 2 heads, 750 Edelbrock carb, Flow Tech headers and B&M stall converter.. whew, that's all a mouthful.
Anyway, I've been a member here for a few years as I've kept my eye open and it took finding an Elky right down my street before pulling the trigger. Cool
Let the good times roll. Smile
