1970 LS6 El Camino

[TXSS]

A buddy of mine stumbled on to what I think is a rare find and we are both curious how rare, how many were made and what it might be worth. Not only in it's present condition but fully restored. This could be one cool ride.

1970 LS6 El Camino Purchased from original owner. Build Sheet, Price Sheet, Column shift auto, CE block with extensive owner documentation on the car and the warranty process. No major rust, excellent floors, has some smog equipment. Has not run in 10 years, needs full resto. Not the best pictures but all I have at this point.

Thanks
Rick

Cool find Rick! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

No facts exist on exact numbers but Dan Carr A-Body Production Totals poster gives best guess as 540 out of a total of 4475 total LS6 production (all models) in 1970.

Judging from sticker residue on drivers door, this Elky may have been a work horse at one time (maybe a stump-puller http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif ). Terrific docs/Hx, one owner, monster motor - Altho an "LS6" the El Camino factor, column tranny and color combo will keep the lid on the price of this car.

Cool find.

Saddle Bench seat doesn't help.

Whatsa'matter with green cars??? (Remember this discussion Rick? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)

Bill, I'm haunted by killer green cars. Check the "For Sale" forum and you will see what I mean. I'm a human magnet for green cars. Ah.. life is good.

Yeah what is wrong with Green Cars? I just picked up a 69 Camaro SS Fathom Green. Nice Car, love the Color.

You tell em Mike! and to further that what's the beef with saddle guts? That's a great combo,as far as the bench I can see it being a ding in a coupe-but quite functional in a truck imo. Could not have been too many LS6 Elco's in 48/Saddle

to each there own!!!!

Wise guy, eh?! Why soitenly, I like green cars. Did I say I didn't like green cars? I don't think so. I am merely saying that for the average Joe this will be a detractor. Green can be a terrific color. It's just that most want a red, black, blue, yellow, etc. car.

Got it running. The motor has a knock, but starts right up. To my suprise, when I pulled it in to gear it drove right out of the car port.

Randy, is that you? Hey, thanks again for the pulley! Here is a pic of the car I was supposed to send you:
