October 6, 200620 yr Well, one of them anyway. Me, my dad, and my brother have two El Camino's and planned on restoring both. One is a 1987 Choo Choo Customs SS, the other a 1980 regular SS. The '87 still hasn't gotten started yet, but the '80 is 98% done. And here it is:
October 6, 200620 yr Author Sorry to hear that man, I would love to get my hands on a retro ride. It's semi up for sale... lol
October 6, 200620 yr You've taken my mental image of the El Camino being a broken down, two toothed redneck wagon and turned it completely around. Nice work.
October 6, 200620 yr Sorry to hear that man, I would love to get my hands on a retro ride. It's semi up for sale... lol Ya but I'm not gonna be in the area for a while and I''m wasting away my Monte Carlo until it poops out. Oh I see how my statement could seem a little ambiguous. I meant I was sorry because I would have liked to get one, but extenuating circumstances disallow it. college hits the bank hard!
October 7, 200620 yr All that work and a stock interior and engine? C'mon man, put a crate motor in that SOB. Put in a 454 or something.
October 7, 200620 yr Author All that work and a stock interior and engine? C'mon man, put a crate motor in that SOB. Put in a 454 or something. Actually, the engine isn't stock. The original came with a 305 V8, which was replaced with a 350 a few years ago. And the interior has been purposely kept all-original. For being 27 years old, it's as flawless as humanly possible. Why mess around with that?

October 9, 200619 yr Author We're probably gonna get a new stereo system completely. Although, this guy said he might trade us his '63 Impala, which is worth around $16,000, for this (which is worth about $8,000) straight up... So we're waiting to see what happens there.
October 9, 200619 yr That dashboard layout sure brings back a lot of memories. I used to ride in a '79 Malibu; they are virtually the same car from the driver seat forward.
