Easy project for someone to end up with a rare El Camino. This truck has the original born with L78 engine (VIN # by the oil filter). The M21 transmission may be the one it left the factory with but the VIN is a few hundred cars off and from the same assembly plant. The 12 bolt rear is not original. 99.5% rust free truck that was stored in an Oregon barn for 30 years before I bought it. The engine does run with a battery and gas can supply. Bench seat, 4 speed, tach/gauges. Clear Tennessee title.

$18,500

I sure like this one! Thanks to Covid-19 I wouldn’t even be able to bring this elkie home across the border. Good luck with the sale.

Been busy rounding up parts. I have some
Pics, I will attach, as soon as I figure out
