Re: Pickup or el camino?

I have always loved Camino's and I've never had a mullet. Go figure.

<edit> I was $400 away from having a '59 El Camino as a first car. I often wish I would have waited.

Re: Pickup or el camino?

I'm just beginning a frame off of my Grandpa's '68 Elky. Obviously, I will never sell it. It rides better than a truck, too. EVERYONE wants an el camino, but many will not admit it (I mean the folks who are not into old cars).

Re: Pickup or el camino?

I have a 72 c/10 that was bought brand new by my grandfather with 48000 miles, it has a lot of meaning to me, and I also have a 78 elcamino that I bought from my father, it was to replace the 68 elcamino that he had and once he stopped driving it I had to have it.

I love both of the trucks myself, the truck will haul more than my camino will but the camino drives and handles more like a car, I guess it is all about what you are looking to do with it. Personally I vote to keep them both, cause chances are you will never get them back once they are gone. The value of classic cars seem to be rising and rising which makes me want to have more and more of them

I wish I had pics on this computer I would post them up, they are on my computer at home

I KNEW it was you! I'm Elky-holic! There's a couple more here who frequent the Elky board, too.
