What do you think of this El Camino? Looks interesting

Anyone know anything about this 66?  Depending upon what little rust means, it could be interesting.  What's a good price on  this El Camino?  Thanks

Thats a pretty good deal. A few days ago there was a yellow 67 EC that was listed for 3K. Some pretty fair prices on the 64-67 cars lately. Wish I had the spare cash for it.

Any spare cash you find should go into your EXISTING '66 not another car. GET THAT car back on the road......gearbanger

 

Now I sound like my wife, "why don't you fix the ones you have instead of buying more"...doh...laughing

 

Looks good in the pics. If it was Blue on Blue, it might be in my yard by the weekend...razz

My intention with my (now Karl's) 66 El Camino was to do it in red/red... you have no idea how tempting this is.

 You've got room for it.  It would look good pulling a couple of go-carts to the track stirpot

Think she'd notice? I mean, there's already a bunch of stuff she probably never knew you had. Or............... maybe you could "be storing it" for someone.

Really, we need to focus on john d since he needs a new engine. This one has an engine.... and red is faster than black..... and this one is newer..... and red.

That thing could make somebody some money. Get it looking right and it could bring a couple grand more.

 As much as I'd like to, I really can't be buying more toys right now... especially ones without seating for kids.

You're probably too young to remember the early 70's Subaru Brat's that came with jump seats in the back from the factory.....grab handles and seat belts included....thumbsup
