72 Elky
10-07-2003, 08:58 PM
Just purchased a '72 Elky with my 14 yr old son. :D For now we are partners but he hopes to have me paid off by the time he has his license. It's a great starter car, very minor rust and the original 350 (rebuilt with 3/4 cam). Runs well but needs cosmetic work. I own a '49 GMC as well so we now have two GM trucks to work on! Glad to have found ECC and look forward to learning more about our Elky. Dave

Welcome to the group. Nice 49!
Good luck with your sons project...looks like a great starter. You know what they say. "The family that plays together, stays together." :cool:
