I recently bought a 1967 El Camino for $1500. It came with about $800 in spare parts. It was a New Mexico car. We had a hail storm this summer and the front and rear windows were knocked out. It has minor surface rust, but needs to be repainted. It has a 400 small block in it with a new edlebrock carb. I am waiting for the snow to melt, since I live in south-west Wisconsin, to get some pictures on here. I am 14 and this is my first car. I plan to pay for it all and have it running by the time I am 16.1/15/09 11:38 AM CST
Weather isn't getting any better here. Temps in -10 everyday almost. Hope it warms up soon. I can't wait to get it home. 1/29/09 7:09 AM CST
Went to look at car again now that the snow has almost melted. Original color is Blue. Found receipts in glove box. New Carburator and intake parts valued at $1100. The car has A/C and the guy I'm buying it from has the back window for it that was missing. The radiator has been replaced in the last 10 years and has a new fan from what I can tell. It also has air shocks in the back. It has a brand new Accel ignition. My first estimated guess was $800 in spare parts, but after being back today and looking at them again and being the guy found some more spare parts, my new estimated price of these used and new parts are $1400+. The guy has many more parts stored some where and will let me know if he finds anymore. After much thought and consideration I am going to keep the motor that is in there and get it running. I was originaly going to put the original 327 in it, but after seeing all the stuff the previous owner had put in it I'm just going to leave it. I am going to put a 4-speed manual in it though. My uncle has one out of a 78 or 79 Camero. I am not sure if the rear end is a posi or not. My goal is to get it home by the first week in March. I still couldn't get any pictures because of the snow that is still on the car, I couldn't get very good pictures. The tailgate is the only thing I noticed would have to be replaced, besides the windshield. The tailgate is filled with bondo and really dinged up. Hope to get it home and pictures on here really soon. 2/20/09 1:32 PM CST
