I found a 78 or 79 El Camino next to where I work. The body is off the frame sitting on blocks (in primer) and the frame and chassis is sitting right next to it with everything there including the engine. The body looks to be in great shape with minor dings and bumps. The interior looks to be trashed but it has tilt wheel and tach and gauge package. The frame and all the pluming lines are in great shape as is the rear end. I'm not sure if its a posi or not. The exhaust looks really good too with Flowmasters. The guy told me he had an offer for $750 for the body and $500 for the chassis. I am glad the body is off the frame...just one less thing I need to do to take it all apart. Sorry I dont have any pics but I will try to remember my camera and go and get a few. _________________ 1980 El Camino. Plans include 69 Camaro Cortez Silver paint, black stripes, red interior.

They say good things come to those that wait, so all the best. No doubt you'll put up some progress pics.

He has an offer of $750.00 that he DOESN'T take; you offer him $600.00 that you DON'T have and he TAKES $300.00 that you have to borrow? I was born on a Friday, BUT it wasn't last Friday. . . Does anyone else see this story, as just a little "strange"? Or, is it just me. . .?

Be happy for me that I saved another Elky and Gbody from the crusher...and the guy made me the offer and I didnt low ball him. I had given totally given up on it after I didnt have the $600. _________________ 1980 El Camino. Plans include 69 Camaro Cortez Silver paint, black stripes, red interior.
