I hauled this sucker home today. But I'm stoked about it! 1967 El Camino. Front clip is off a '66 SS. Some idiot drilled an otherwise pristine SS hood for pins
,but the car is solid.
-Solid floor pans
-Really decent body(remember,I'm on the east coast)
-All doors and windows work smooth
-Tailgate is 100% rust free and works better than I've ever seen
-Originally a 3 on the tree converted to a TH350 auto with floor shift<-yuck,it works just fine.Nice pink fluid with firm shifts.
-350 engine that runs nice and smooth with a rebuilt quadrajet. A buddy I trust did the carb and he's a Rochester guru. Real happy about that.Good oil pressure.60 psi at idle cold,30 at idle hot
-Seat out of a Toyota pickup
Looks wrong,but is super comfy and leaves way more room behind the seat than the stock setup.I'm leaving it.
-Basic transportation: manual steering and brakes.No A/C. I love it!
New carpet on the floor and the door panels are pretty nice. Needs the brakes gone through,a wiring harness,exhaust gaskets,tune up and a pair of front tires. Nothing leaks,nothing rattles but the lights on the back don't work. $125 for a new wiring harness and she'll be ready for business.
Best of all it cost me nothing out of pocket. Not one red cent! I just gotta do about a months worth of work on a '57 Belair for a buddy and it's mine. Well,I already have the title in hand but you know...still gotta earn it.
So say hello to my new friend! A true American two seater
Oh,and it's not getting painted.Ever.
