You would think a Moderator would have said this:
"Please state how much you are asking for it".

Let me do some calculating

I traded for a 69 Judge body I valued at $3,500
I put on some snowflakes with brand new TA Radials $350 pro-rated.
I spent $250 replacing the clutch on the original AC compressor,$150 on ignition tune up, $200 on new front window, $200 on tranny, and $300 on new exhaust....

that totals umm..... $ 4,750.00 invested.

Since I would like to give it a home with intent of restoration or keep it because I love to drive it down the highway, break even would be fine with me.

Let me give all the details as I know them. There are 4 rust issues: both rear wheel molding areas are rusted, right front fender lower rear (just like they all do and the original owner told the guy I got it from it started 2 years after he had it), and the worst is the upper front window channel from the vinyl top. It is the original paint and doesn't look that bad considering. The front nose is in 500 pieces. The dash light on the AC control doesn't work. And the 8 track player drags just a little, actually I'm not sure if it isn't just my 8 tracks are 25 years old. Everything is old and a little weathered.

Little things like the factory part number stickers for the suspension springs are still on it. And it flys down the highway and floats like a butterfly. I drove it to POCI in Joplin 100 MPH the entire way with the air on and got 12.37 miles to the gallon. HAHA

Hope that's enough and rememmber that

[camarojoe]

OK, so whats the story on the 68 Elco in the background?

[Mr70]

CJoe
And what about that Coca Cola sign!

[Belair62]

Damn...you guys are like buzzards !!!

The pic was taken by the guy I got it from, that is his house. I asked him about the El, and this is what he wrote me back about it.

The Coke sign was his great auntie's father inlaw's nephew's, it was stolen by Peruvian midgets and last seen on an 1979 cube van headed for Honduras.

No offense, but I think you left with the wrong car.

[Steve_Hoog]

There are two things I have had one of in my life: 1 Ford 1/2 ton and 1 El Camino. I will never have either again.

I bought the Judge for the motor with the stipulation this guy would buy the Judge, then before the deal was done I decided it would be cool to have something to drive to POCI since all my Pontiacs are down. So you see, the Camino would have never worked.

Steve,

Next time please call me. I am a El-Camino kinda guy. One like that would be worth buying for sure.
