Luckily it reairs later tonight, so I can catch the whole thing.

What all El Caminos have they done on Overhauling? I know also a 66 or some 2nd gen.

They did a 67 and a 77 El Camino. They have also done several chevelles and a couple montes.

I got it on my DVR in HD. Haven't seen that episode in a long time. It was done back in 2004. I wonder if that kid still has it?

probably not, i bet quite a few of them sell it off since its worth quite a bit... i would, sell it off for say $25,000, then i could buy say 20+ projects and fill up the yard!!!!

I'm pretty sure a car fully restored and decked out by chip goose would bring a lot more money. The paint job on it was cool too

If I could find that Elky for 25k, I'd write the check right now! That's probably one of the best custom 4th gens in the country.

Have they ever done an episode checking back with people? I know some people who were on wound up returning to help out on a car.

I second that, but not for 25k

They did do an episode or two where the marks and their cars returned. However, the '77 Elky was not one of them.

I do not think so, but it would be nice. I think that show is over if I am not mistaken.

Did anyone ever see the EL Camino they did on pimp my ride.
Here is a video of the whole episode and the player take a long time to load so click and just go about your biz for a while and then check out the video

That show didn't last too long either. Wasn't all that great in my opinion either. I think those guys took a few too many short cuts and didn't do things in the proper order for cars they wanted to get top $$ for.

The 1967 El Camino episode is on today (1/25) at 11:00 MST on Discovery. So I think that would be 1:00 eastern and 10:00 pacific. But you may want to check time with your t.v.
