Here is my car: 1960 El Camino. Bought in april 2004. It is one of the last in France : there is less than five '60 models.
I want mine to be the top one, because it worth it.

To see the latest pictures, go to page #10

You will find here the different steps of the restoration process, from start to end. Just follow the evolution of the car page by page.

Have a seat and relax, here is the story of the '60 Elky...

I started a complete frame off restoration in march 2005 : all bushings and seals have been be replaced, body and chassis sand blasted, interior completly changed with new carpet and door panels, and a fresh new flashy paint. Engine/tranny have been rebuilt too, but it won't be a strip machine. 200HP will be good enough. The Camino has a SBC 305. She originaly came with a 283. I replaced the powerglide with a TH350 to have more driving comfort.
