----WTB 69 El Camino----

[olredalert]

----WTB,,,1969 El Camino. Must be 350/auto/AC. Must also be nearly original. No SS wannabes, please. The nicer the better. I don't need another resto as I have a mid 70s Donzi 24 foot boat I'm trying to finish. Really would like and would probably pay up for would be the best around, although I want to use it so Id have to be talked into a trailer queen. Thanks SYC!!!......Bill S

----Search has ended!......Bill S

[L78M22Rag]

I saw this yesterday... Appears to be close to what you are looking for except without the A/C.

Too bad Bill. That's what mine is. Other then that, born with 350/300hp, Turbo 350, Steering, brakes &amp; CAC. The SS stuff is all external for &quot;the look&quot;. (I didn't do it)

Bill there's a red one not sure if it's a 68 or 69 sitting in auburn hills Mi Iv only looked from the road but it appears to be a very very nice car. If I can remember I'll drive by tomorrow and take some pics. Thought I seen SS emblems on it but not for sure

----Thanks, Mike! Ill have to get the color past my wife as she isn't a red fan, but Id love to know more.....Bill S

Sweet El Camino Verne.

Makes my 68 look REALLY ugly. Actually the ugliness on mine stands on its own merit.

[olredalert]

----Havent heard from you, Vern. Have you decided to keep the Elky???.....Bill S

[chevyman0429]

Bill sorry buddy the one sitting in Auburn hills has disappeared! Probably sold

Bill,
I sent you a PM right after the first post. I was wondering why I didn't hear back from you.
Check it. I can send you another one tomorrow.

Verne

[Verne_Frantz]

PM has been sent. I hope this one gets through.

Verne

[olredalert]

----Verne,,,I received the 1st E-mail from you and answered it much the same as the one I just sent you. Dunno what happened, and am sorry......Bill S

[olredalert]

----Well, Verne is out. I don't blame him a bit as he has a nice ride there. Soooo,,,still looking for an elusive El Camino......Bill S

[olredalert]

----Still looking!......Bill S

[L78M22Rag]

This is no trailer queen... but if its not too rough around the edges, it would make a neat driver for the right person.

----Thanks, Helmut! A bit more work than I would take on, but the outcome would be cool (silver on blue)......Bill S

[Verne_Frantz]

It's very likely that's a flood car. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif

I know the seller. Not a flood car.

[olredalert]

----Man,,,Finding a 69/70 stock small block with AC Elky is harder than I thought it would be. Will gladly pay a finders fee for the right ride.......Bill S

[TDW]

Bill, have you looked here:http://www.carsonline-ads.com/colsite/col?


I can't get the damn thing to be clickable.

[olredalert]

----Thanks, Tony! Lots of El Cs but none just right yet. I had forgotten about this sight......Bill S

[Lynn]

Try this:

68-69 Chevys (http://www.carsonline-ads.com/colsite/col?use=UC1_BrowseSite&amp;cmd=showMenuList&amp;menuListKe y=ch_68-69)

[Lynn]

Factory air on a 60's El Camino just not that common.

[Verne_Frantz]

Elkys with Air are <span style="color: #3333FF"><span style="font-style: italic">COOL</span></span>. They'll freeze you out since they only have to cool half a car. Had mine converted to 134 with the correct hoses, etc but they used the original fittings so it looks stock. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[Lynn]

That's the plan on my 68 Verne.

[grantprix]

Bill... its not a '69, but this '70 just popped up locally here yesterday...looks pretty clean and original.

[markinnaples]

Boy, other than those couple dents on the driver's side, that thing is beautiful

[earntaz]

Looks like it is all there ...

[olredalert]

----Grant,,,That is so close to what I'm looking for, however I want one that will pass muster with the wife. She actually wants an El Camino, imagine that, and the color wont pass with her. Shes been going thru some health issues and I really want to treat her......Bill S

[earntaz]

Bill -- sorry to here the wife has health issues ... ya' have to keep treatin' em' right and here is hoping you find the Elky she will enjoy! TAZ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Sorry to hear about your wife's issues, Bill. I guess she'd be ok with silver on black huh? Janet told me I have to keep it, but if she changes her mind, you'll be the first to know. Good luck with your search in the meantime.

Boy, that's sharp.

[olredalert]

----Thanks, Vern!.....Bill S

[grantprix]

Bill... I think that's pretty cool that she wants an Elky. I hope your wife gets to feeling better soon and that you find the right one for her! Looks like the green one here sold overnight, I was tempted myself.

Grant

[olredalert]

----Grant,,,Just as soon as she goes in for a hip replacement she will be great as she feels good elsewise. Cant get into the doctor she wants till probably October. The best guys are busy, busy, busy. Thanks for the positive thoughts......Bill S

[chevyman0429]

[olredalert]

----Mike,,,Thanks for thinking of me! I would be interested if the car has AC and is a 350, not a 307. Did you get that close?......Bill S

[chevyman0429]

Yes the fender badges said 307 but I did not open the hood or ask any questions

[olredalert]

----Thanks,Mike!......Bill S

[Verne_Frantz]

I'm looking forward to seeing it too Bill. It's probably a lot nicer than mine. Suggest you start a new thread, maybe in Member Rides.

Verne

[camarojoe]

Were pics ever posted of this elco? Would love to see it myself!

[olredalert]

This car coming from China via a one armed skipper in a row boat?

[Verne_Frantz]

Bill Asked me to post these for him for those who are getting anxious. I've attached his comments with the details. She's a beaut!

----I did want a 69, Verne, but this 67 (I had a 67 SS new) really talked to me. It has more options on the original build sheet than any 67 El Camino I have ever seen. Factory AC, tilt, PW, buckets w/headrests, console, deluxe belts, 325/396, st +brks, gauges, disc brakes, HD susp, bumper guards, remote control mirror (not on the car at present) Its a Cal. car and lived with the original owner until 2010. I have a stack of bills an inch high. Plus, I bought it from Jacquie Benthin so I was pretty sure what I was getting. Its a relative high miler so there are things to correct, but nothing major at all. I got the vintage American wheels from Jason in Cal. and spent about two days detailing them. The car came with new style chromed Americans and huge tires and just didn't look right. Id still by the right 69 as that's what the wife likes, but so far I'm having fun with this 67.......Bill S

[markinnaples]

WOW. Schwing. That's a beauty.

[olredalert]

----Thanks so much for the pics, Verne! Much appreciated.

----Forgot to mention that I also have a build sheet and original sales papers from a dealer in Torrance......Bill S

[Lynn]

Wow. Nice score. Went earlier than 69 I see. I personally like the 66-67 body style even better, even though I have a 68.

[olredalert]

----Some stuff being updated already and other stuff coming up. Gardner exhaust ordered and on the way as I cant stand the pea-shooters out the back. Don't want to take any underhood shots yet. Too much stuff replaced over the years with the mileage figure. Not worked up about repro this time. Just trying to get stuff reasonably correct and drive the poo out of it......Bill S

[scuncio]

Wow, very nice Bill. Those are the wheels you restored? Want to restore another set? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

Nice truck!!!

Ryan

[SuperNovaSS]

Sweet car and wheels!


Jason

[RPOLS3]

Looks great Bill!

[MosportGreen66]

Nice pick up...

Purely for education, is the SS emblem correct? I thought the Super Sport was not an option in the El Camino but the big block was? But I maybe incorrect Thanks

[olredalert]

----The SS emblem was added by the original owner. I just haven't removed it yet. Part of the reason I liked this El Camino was the fact that no one installed an SS hood. Every one you see on E-bay, weather small or big block, seems to have been changed. The SS hood is cool, of course, just not original......Bill S
