Might Be Getting a Vehicle!

Okay so I'm about to go check out my friend's step dad's El Camino. He's a mechanic of sorts and gets cars and rebuilds them. Well anyways I don't know to much now but I'll post more up later. It's from the 70's which is good, got a big 350 engine in it, and has been restored. New bright red paint job and everything... Btw I love El Camino's, they happen to be my dream car... Anyways yeh, he's selling it cheap 5500 because he wants to start on other car projects and well this is basically finished... I hope I can get that loan

Okay well I have a little more info, and would have some pics but my phone isn't recieving the pics my friend sent =( ... Anyways it's a 69... the engine has 110k miles on it but I was talking to the guy and a friend of mine who happens to be a mechanic and they tell me Chevy's back then were pretty reliable as there wasn't much to them, just big stuff, lol... Plus parts are easy to find incase I need to since back then they were made pretty similar to the other muscles... Um... I got to ride in it, that thing sounds beautiful, picked up to 80 in like 8-10 secs... But yeh, basically this car is a beauty and I will post pics asap...

Sounds awesome man, get more specs though.
Exactly what kinda engine? Sure it's a 350 but is that original? Has it been rebuilt? bored? Find out what kinda heads it has, what kinda cam? Exhaust?
Gears?

**LawMan018** · 04-12-2007, 12:58 AM

Haven't done much about it lately, just gotta wait 3 weeks for my damn pay stubs (bank wants a months worth of pay stubs before I can get loan) It is original though, original miles...

**OPSTER** · 04-12-2007, 10:20 AM

All original? Best thing about cars like the one you're getting is that they won't ***reciate... but appreciate...
So you'll probably sell it for more then you got it for.
