Kevin,

A nice vehicle, with the right colors! Do you have any dealer info.? It happens to have that color combo that makes me suspicious of a Dick Harrell combo.

Only Chevrolet can say for sure how many were actually built.I have seen 8 documented in the past,thats just me.But I have not been searching for these,so I don't know if that number has risen or fallen since.
I do collect a lot of Chevrolet Literature and Memorabilia,and I have seen Canadian books and catalogs and Zone letters refer to the 1970 LS-6 Elcamino much more frequently then the U.S. circulated literature.It stands to reason that when I did hear or see one of the LS-6 Elco's,it originated from Canada.
There was nice Forest Green LS-6 up there recently..

That was a nice one ! Can I have one to ?
There is a guy in Gothenburg (Sweden) who has one LS-6 Chevelle and one LS-6 El Camino. The real thing, I believe.
HeÄs dragracing a Corvette.

Ken, that would be neat to find a Harrell El Camino. But this one came from Bob Baker Chevrolet in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is great combo with colors and as equipped by it's options like you say though.

I would think that el camino would photo graph nicely next to Joe's AWESOME Dick Harrell chevelle with those color combos. Just my opinion.

They did put the 396/375HP in the 1970 Elco.I know of three documented so far.A few More without paper.I have even found one with the elusive 396/375 with L-89 Al.head option.I am still in touch with the owner to try to buy it.That truly is a "SuperTruck".

I had a 70 396/375 Elky a few years back. It had the buildsheet. Very neat car/truck. I'll post a pic if anyone is interested.

Jason, we are interested along with the build sheet if you still have. What plant and date was your truck from?
