My dad has an el camino but it was my grandpa's when he passed away so I don't think he will ever sell it. Sorry man, El Caminos in good shape are hard to come buy. Might want to try searching on other sites that are more likely to have El Camino owners. What years you looking for?

I have a nice 83 thats been built up well. Was originally a V6 but now has a new 350 and rebuilt turbo 350. Heres the link with all the info. I am in northeast Alabama, not real far from Chattanooga.
http://hsvracing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22692
If that doesnt work e mail me at mark_z28@yahoo.com for the info and a bunch of pictures. I am asking $6000 and have double that in parts alone.

1983 with a bunch of performance parts in it. Steel cowl induction hood with SS stripes, blue interior, rebuilt 350 shortblock, new Vortec top end, Speed Demon double pumper carb, MSD 6AL, MSD billet distributor, MSD coil, Summit Racing cam with I beleive .470 lift and 280-290 duration(biggest cam I could use with Vortecs at the time), Performer RPM intake, chrome GM centerbolt valve covers, Hooker ceramic headers, Victor Jr. water pump, March serpentine belt conversion, biggest racing radiator by Griffin that would fit, has two rows of 1 1/2 tubes, Fluidampner streetdampner, double roller timing chain, true dual 3" exhaust, Flowmaster mufflers, Hotchkiss suspension all the way around, B body spindles up front with 12" 1LE rotors, new drum brakes on rear, rear is a good 3.73 posi from 86 Monte SS, polyurethane motor mounts and trans mount, turbo 350 rebuilt with B&M Transpak installed, deep aluminum trans pan, B&N trans fluid, biggest trans cooler I could get with fan included, power steering cooler added, power steering gearbox is rebuilt from a 1LE camaro for quicker turning, 1" sway bar in front, big one in rear, custom trans crossmember to run the dual exhaust not the cut up stock crossmember, Flexalite fan on radiator, has Weld Prostars with 235/60/15 on front and 275/60/15 on back, Moroso drag spring in front along with adjustable drag shocks, rear springs are stock right now with drag shocks, bunch more I'm probably forgetting. Needs a few minor things done like clean up wiring, putting the passenger door pull back on door, and a few minor things.

Had AC but its not there anymore, has new evaporator core, but you would need to find about everything else.
Asking $6,000, cash offers considered. May be interested in trades but really need the cash first. Consider sportbikes, naked bikes, maybe even a good metric cruiser, smaller sporty cars, or similar. Any 4TH gen F body performance parts like suuspension, engines, T56 trans, Dana 60 or 9 inch rears, etc. may work as trades.

e mail me at mark_z28@yahoo.com, pm me here, or call 572-6574.
