The current owner purchased the car sometime after all the bodywork, paint, and interior were completed by a prior owner, and before a driveline or suspension had been installed. It was a “roller”. The estimated age of the paint is 8-10 years. It’s not perfect and on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being perfect) it’s a good 6. Please view all photos and the video.
For the past 4 years the El Camino has undergone a transformation to what you see in the pictures and video. Since it’s completion approximately 2 years ago, the car has logged 8800 miles attending car shows and cruise-in’s around the area. It is a strong running “pickup” with a well-tuned Holley “Sniper” fuel-injected stroker that starts easily, does not overheat, and draws attention wherever it goes.
