1970 Custom VIN EL Camino
Nice vehicle here ready to finish. We got this from a pilot who passed away. It was his resto baby and he poured money into it. We were going to restore it, but decided to retire instead and liquidate.
This Elco was made in Van Nuys and has been in CA its entire life. The undercarriage will testify to that. It's in great shape for it's age and has many new parts and upgrades. Like I said, this gentleman poured money into it. After he put the motor and trans in it, he fell ill and the car sat. We put a new battery in it and it cranked right over.
It has
Freshly rebuilt SBC with Vortec heads. The motor and trans have less than 1000 miles.Freshly rebuilt Turbo 350.Built rear end, 10 bolt POSI.Hotchkis Suspension all the way around.

What it needs
There are two rust issues (see pics)The back/lower drivers side front fenderLeft rear lower quarter towards the rearThese are not huge issues and can be easily fixed
The rest of the body work has been basically done. The trim needs to be reattached.You paint it. We believe the original color was gold with a beige interior. Not 100% on that. The blue was a repaint.
While the wiring works, It looks pretty funky under the dash.Wiring was not his forte. We were going to replace it all and make it look tidybut our backs are telling us not to. Not a hard job, just time.
The shift indicator does not work and frankly, is wonky. Replace it. Some funky light up job out of some bargain bin.
This is not a trailer queen. It is an almost done project. Project. Perfect for someone to finish their way. I tried to describe this vehicle as thoroughly and honestly as possible so you know what it is.
PLEASE DO NOT EXPECT A PERFECT CAR.
It needs things but it's also street legal right now, with fresh tags and license plates.
The reserve is very low - 4 digits - we need it gone.Look at the other 1970 Elcos on Ebay and even if you put 8-10K into thisit would still be half of what the other's are hoping to get and you'd have an Elco that looks exactly the same as the others.
