pm Post subject: 1980 El Camino - needs frame
I have a 1980 El Camino that I bought a few years ago to park my '68 and start work on it. After further inspection, I found that the frame was bad behind the driver's rear wheel, plus up front where the stabalizer bar is mounted on driver's side. The only reason I still have the car is because of the Z15 code on the cowl tag - which means this was a factory SS; when it was repainted, the emblems/decals were not re-applied. I have become unable to work on this car (or my '6 due to multiple neck surgeries, otherwise I'd be doing so!
This car is for sale - black over silver, maroon interior, floor shift auto, tilt, buckets; has a 350 Turbo, but either the trans or converter slip. No engine, as it had a mid-70's pass. car 350 in it that needs a cam (which I have a barely-used Crane Engergizer for).
Pix available on request, since I don't see a way to post them here...

That may be what happens - let me verify the tilt column; I'll post again later today (still trying to get going this morning). Check my profile - I'll post a pic there for anyone interested in the body.
Sorry it takes me so long to get back to this - I can't sit at the computer for very long due to neck problems.
For the entire car, $1,000.00 - only because it's a factory SS;
For the steering column, fifty bucks; there's a fed ex next town over I could probably ship it from;
Interior, complete - two to five hundred, depending on what you take;
Body is rough around the wheelwells, but not too bad - no panel replacements necessary, I don't think, just a little sheet metal, bondo or fiberglass.
I am in East Troy, WI - halfway between Milwaukee and Beloit. I would much rather someone come here and "take what they need", as because of the above-mentioned neck problems, I really can't do much work on it - or I'd not be selling it!

I may be intrested in whats left. I don't want or need the front clip or any of the interior other than the plastic. Door panels and dash not needed either.
I would prefer to have a rolling chassis to work with. ....and a clean title.
GrandAmMan - I have a clean title; the car will be minus doors, interior and drivetrain - still want? When could you come and get? I'm heading outside today (before the rain here) to start stripping the interior. Five c-notes for the body, the steering column will be headed to toms84ss (as soon as I get shipping rates and it over to FedEx), and lastly, it does NOT have Air. My mistake.
