Just returned from the Midwest with my 70 El Camino. Was my fathers and his father purchased it new. Sorry to be so short, but I'm trying to figure out if I can set the idle mix for my 8000 ft elevation....take care!

Jade, welcome to ECC.

Nice to read a story where an El Camino has been passed down in the family.

Is the car as original as it looks? If so, I suggest you post many pictures to your gallery. You'll never know who it my benefit.

Very cool!

Thanks, but my father did all the work to this point. I will be getting more pictures for insurance purposes.

The truck has been repainted, the hood is not original, nor are the wheels. My father still has the original hood and I have the original 14" wheels and covers. The bench seat is original and looks new. All the glass is original and so are two of the headlamps.

I'm really stoked about the truck.
