LS6 El Camino, Fresh Frame-0ff, 1 Owner, +++Docs

[mockingbird812]

This LS6 is listed for a friend of mine out here in the Phoenix area. His name is Fred Koenig and can be reached at (602) 843-0630. Fred just finished the restoration of this beautiful Forest Green El Camino. This car has a documented CE block (see stamp pad and detailed letter from owner to GM) backed by the original TH400 and original 3.31 posi rear end. Some of you may remember this car being offered on this site about a year and a half ago. The 1st picture below is what it looked like when delivered to Fred's home. I've included a link to a bunch of photos that Fred took of the pre/during/post restoration of his LS6 El Camino (http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=9Abt2TNw3bMjm) and includes the vast original documentation too. The rest of the particulars about this car are included in the photo album. Fred was pleasantly surprised when he started breaking down the car to find the POP under the seat! I'll let the photos speak for the quality of work that Fred does (it's really good). Price = $88,000.

Thanks!

I have not seen this car in person. But I have met the owner and have seen all of the restoration pictures while at Pavillions 2 weeks ago. Cool guy and beautiful resto.

Elky's rock. Very cool piece...I love everything about it 'cept the slushbox!

Nice Truck. I would not have Put the Stripes on it, since they are not on the Buildsheet.

Very nice.

Re: top two photos - It's amazing what a little wax and bumper straightening will do......http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif

That's the way to document a car. Even though the build sheet didn't call for the stripes, i would have put them on also. I think it gives the Elky a personal touch and some flare! Nice job Fred!

Saw this Elco when Fred brought it home, and every step of the way through the restoration. EVERYTHING is new, lots of neat NOS parts purchased throughout the years by the original owner. There are no short cuts taken here. Not your typical "auction " car where nothing works. Fred has this car dialed in. Pictures don't really do it justice, the quality of the paint work, and total restoration really show through in a close up inspection. How many of these have you ever seen with REAL 1-owner paperwork? Will make a substantial quality addition to someone's collection.

Makes me wish I would have kept it, and several other people wish they would have bought it. Awesome job Fred, I knew you would do it up right. LS6 El Camino "Yea"

[Zedder]

Great looking El Camino! But...I gotta ask...why do people keep referring to it as a "one owner" when it appears to have had 3?

[mockingbird812]

Hey Mark. Good question and one that I have toiled with over the years. I neither support nor refute this implied definition. But, it seems to have to do with whether you register the car for your own personal use or perhaps it has to do with the length of time you own it. Even our own, Colin, uses this term on some of his cars - see this '71 Plymouth 'cuda 340 (http://www.colinsclassicauto.com/detail.php?car=329) or this '70 Boss 302 Mustang (http://www.colinsclassicauto.com/detail.php?car=323) currently for sale. For me it is all about due diligence. Just as you scrutinize the "numbers matching" or "original drivetrain" or "original buildsheet", or "documented owner history", you would investigate the "one owner" aspect as well. If you, no kidding, want to be the one that buys the car off of the fellow or gal who originally bought the car back in 197X, it should be obvious to you that, in the case of Colin's 'cuda, that he was either not born or just a wee little tike.

[Steve Shauger]

Number of owners registered or not has never had a bearing on me purchasing a car. Example the 67 L78 presently for sale was a one owner when I purchased it, subsequently it has changed hand six times and only 300 miles have been put on the car since(still the same car to me). The key is the originality/pedigree and integrity of the car. Those are the elements I use to purchase a car.

It's 5:00 PM and that means it's time for a new collector car term: Of course class, we will spend the remainder of the semester discussing the definition of the CPAFIOBWOPTASITBNRPII.

"Car Previously Acquired From Its Original Born-With Owner Prior To Any Subsequent Interdicting Transferals Between Non-Registering Possessors In Interest."

Take careful notes, this will be on the final exam...



(BTW, awesome El Camino, nice job on the resto http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Excellent Steve..I kinda thought one owner meant one vested owner today rather than a partnership in a vehicle... very similair to numbers match ..., sorry I dont usally f .. up a guys add but could not resist a reply.
