Well I've decided to part with my El Camino project and move on to other things.
The car is completely disassembled and ready to start the restoration on.
The new floor pans have been roughed in, new quarter and rocker panels in box. Just the sheetmetal was $1,600.
-Frame is excellent and should sandblast up nice
car comes with:
2 sets of door shells- very good condition
2 front clips, 1 -78 El Camino, 1 -81 Lemans
Tailgate no rust but needs body work
Air conditioning unit and a standard heater box
83 Grand Lemans interior in mint shape with complete dash assembly
1 83 305 4bbl, 117k km runs well but needs valve seals
1-83 TH 350 shifts well but needs cleanup
1-78 TH 350 Broken case...good for parts for above
1 79 350 4 bolt, +30 over, disassembled, needs crank polishing
12 bolt non posi out of earlier A body
Would prefer to sell complete package, just back the ryder truck up
offers??

I'm up in Airdrie, Bought a Corvette so I need the space. Would really like to recover the money I spent on sheetmetal, after that I take my losses.
If the whole car doesn't go I'll probably cut the floor pans out and E-bay off the parts. plus attend a few swap meets and see what I can do there.
It is a pretty big project and not for the timid...needs lots of man hours. _________________ 78 El Camino-350-Or whats left of one!

I have an ad going in the bargain finder this thursday as a project car as I would prefer to sell it complete to keep the Mrs and the neighbors happy.
And I hate the thought of hauling something off to the scrap yard since once its gone theres no replacing it. such as the frame. and body shell. I would let the complete unit go for $1,500. firm. That includes the new sheet metal, 2 motors all the stuff listed above.That price doesn't even cover my sheet metal cost or all the parts scrounging I did over the years
But if there are no bites for a week or 2 I will part it out and be done with it.
I will figure out some pricing and let you know.
Thanks for the interest _________________ 78 El Camino-350-Or whats left of one!
