After much thought I have decided that I want a second project car. So I am looking to buy a 1960 el camino, I will consider anything. I would prefer it to have a v8, be running, or both.

Preferably within about 500 miles of chattanooga, tn.

If you have one or know someone that has one you can either post here, shoot me a pm, or email me at rewerbwerdna2@aol.com

up

8) I'll give you credit, once you decided to do a new project you not only chose probably the best generation of Elky but the hardest one to come by! :cool: If I were to do another one it defimitly would be a 1st Generation. My fist Elky was a 59. I'd sure wish I still had Her today! :(

Yep, and I am not going to stop looking until I find one.

My mechanic knows someone who used to have one and he is going to check to see if they still have it, I should know tomorrow.

I almost bought one off ebay but it was in LA and the guy was being a pain in the ass.

It wouldnt hurt to check the hamb board on the jalopy journal. Some young cat just sold a running and driving 60 for 1500 bucks!!!! Its a good site they have a free search engine- just type in 59 or 60 el camino. Good luck!!!!! 8-)

I forgot to ask.......the ebay one was the blue one? didnt look too bad!

yeah it was the blue one, I still have alot of pics of it. It was pretty beat up, looks like it tryed to squeeze through a road block. lol

well I went to look at one today, but turns out it sold a while ago.

still looking, how about 1000 miles from chattanooga instead of 500.

hi i did a check on auto-trader and found 5 or 6 ranging 1700.00-20,000
found 1 for 15000.00 on deals on wheels. not sure what you are looking for. found a few 59's also. good luck on your hunt

I cant figure out the auto-trader website :oops: so would you give me the links for all of them less than about 3k.

That 1700 one sounds like it could be a winner.

up, still cant figure out how to get a car older than 81 in auto-trader. :(

ok try this http://ww2.collectorcartraderonline.com/search.php
i know they are hard to get around but this the address link.
hope this will work for you. :-) i did it from the link here and it worked for me

Thanks man, you rock.

I'm going to call about one in a little while.

there is a finders fee of a beer and steak :lol: :lol:
glad to help, which one you looking at. hope you find your ride.

you are asking a minor to buy beer, lol. Thats a crime in this state(seriously it is lol)

the one I called about was in pieces and not running. The search continues.

sorry i did not know 8O

there's a running driving 60 for sale right now on the hamb board (jalopy journal) its in CA though, how about "ROAD TRIP" 8) What a better way to get to know your new car!!!

I would love to ditch school for about a week to fly out to cali and drive a new car home, but that isnt really an option.

Plus I cant find the car :( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7 this is the right board isnt it?

nvm I found it

Glad you found it! Sorry you dont have enough scratch to buy it. Check on there, you will find 59's and 60's for sale there. I look just about every weekday,if I see something I will let you know. Dont give up! they are so cool.Sorry I couldnt post the link,I am computer-challenged :oops:

thanks, I will keep looking on there too.

I guess I get some more time to save up money.

talking to a guy on the hamb about one. :D

Good luck, I see you registered there, it is a cool site! If your deal falls through keep checking back, there has been a few 59's and 60's for sale on there lately

yep, I am accually getting info on 2 cars. And they are like 30 mins away from each other.
