Thanks but im actually looking for a site that has a little better picture quality to describe the parts, specifically i am interested in replacing the window gaskets along the top of the doors where the windows meet when you shut the doors and around the moon roof that i dont know if it is aftermarket or stock. Thanks

Dude, I have an 80 too, and buy most of my parts from ECParts.net. I haven't spent much time at the website, but their catalog has EVERY part you'll need for your ride,,,, except the bumpers. lol I swear to God they have everything else. Also check out Honestcharley.com, originalpartsgroup.com, elcaminostore.com, laureneng.com, npd.com. Lemme know what you think. You got pics of your ride on here yet?

Welcome to the site SS80Camino. As posted by ElCafreak, those are good sites for parts. I've used original parts group and the ElCamino Store myself, and they have provided great service and parts. I recently bought window felts for my 74 from Choo Choo Automotive in TN. I'm waiting for a response from them to see if they have a catolog and/or a listing of parts available.
Where are you located in Birmingham, there are some great boneyards off I 65.

Give me a call or email. Might have what you need in stock depending on color.

Found best buys on weatherstripping is on eBay. New Soft Seal dealers often post at cost to get their minium orders.

Camino Classics,

How about dropping down a generation for stock :P Sure would be nice to have someone close to purchase from.

Caveman,

Have owned 4 cars since 76. 3 late model Mailbu wagons (2 with factory 4 spd) and a 92 Cadillac STS (kept 3 months and sold to buy EC). My first EC was a Black on Black 69 SS 4 spd with HO 396 and is still my favoite memory. Got forced out of your generation by lack of forethought and parts in 90. Wont happen to me again. Except for running gear I could put 2-3 78-87 together from parts. LOL
