Hell James, We're having a hard time FINDING more than two ECs in the Bay Area (see El Camino Events and Locations forum)

I'm in the Contra Costa County east bay area. Love to also attend. I work weekends so I just need notice. Guess I'm right next door to James84elky.

My email address is blkgnturbo@sbcglobal.net or leave me a private message here.

If you want to have a get together I know of at least 4 69's within 5 miles of me in Concord. None are shownShinw quality but they ARE Elco people.

Sorry it didn't work out. I can't find enough Elky's in the area to have a meet. Maybe some other time.....

So any luck in finding more cars for the show? I am here in Sonoma County and there are a few here that maybe I can get to go? I think it would be a BLAST!!!!

I know there's alot more EC owners out there than are visible, but I'm thinking that most may be intimated by the "Car Show" label. Maybe we should try to get a "gathering" of our species together.
Ya know, a causal thing where there are no judging or displays or banners.
Let's face it, if we were ready for Barrett-Jackson, we wouldn't be hanging 'round the likes an ol' dog like me!

I love drivng and working on my Sharp71 but she's a driver with no chance of ever being "Show" quality. I just like the vehicle and I'd love the chance to me others like me.

Maybe start small.. like a drive up burger joint. This way you can always say you "just happened to drive by"

Livermore has a place called John's Burgers were they have Hod Rod Drive Up on Friday. I think it's once a month.
I "just happened to be dring by" and stopped in for a shake with my boy.
There was one ol' beater there when I arrived but by the time I was leaving there were probably 8-10 hod rods of various vintage. All were just hanging around BSing. I thought it was very cool.


What are your thoughts?

DANNY

Hey there, I'm in san jose and would love to get together even if just for a cruise night.

I know bonnie is up in concord, and Marv is in seaside, I have got a buddy with an 83 I believe in sunnyvale that would likely attend.

Only nights not good for me are Tuesday and Sunday nights, but most any other night or weekend durning the day if it is within an 1.5 of San Francisco i could attend.

A "SHOW" I would go to but not enter, but just a cruise night to show off the progress i am making (most of which only I seem to noitce sadly) would be great. We could call have an el camino support night. We can tell all our horror stories, projects gone ary and so on.

I had a chance to meet Marv about a month ago, and what I figured would be me stopping by for an hour at most turned into a 4 hour "elky story" Day.

Maybe we put together a barbaque at a local park or something, or find a parking lot and bring out our hibachis :)

Just some thoughts. Even if it were just 4 or 5 of us going i would try to show.

Very few of my other buddies understand the "We do it out of love for our cars" like you all seem to.

Wayne

oops, just read back through the thread and saw the bottom half of your note which I missed the first time.

A friday night cruise night would do for me in livermore, my sister lives up there and have been meaning to get up there to see her (and more importantly talk to her father inlaw about building a custom wood bed for my elky :) )

Sorry Guys and Gals: Count me out for a Elky outing anytime soon.

With the high price of Gas these days, I may jsut make my Elky a weekender only, not a daily driver.
I supose I could sell it push come to shove ? ? ?
Oh well........Life is a B....

Sharp 71 I know there are lots of Daileys out there. Just have to get the word out. Maybe a get together is exactly what it should be called. Has anything like this ever been attempted before in this region? I am from the Fremont / Union City area and last weekend there was a show / get together in Fremont at the school for the deaf that displayed cars of all different stages. I am down to volunteer some of my spare time to explore setting something up. :D

Elky's Rule!!!

Scott

Now yer talking! Anybody else out there?
Chime in with your location so we can decide on a convenient location.
We'd better get on it if we want to stay dry!

Hey Danny, I'm still floating around Livermore albeit working a whole bunch more (switched from cars to heavy trucks and tractors). I am free most nights after 6:00 or so. A gathering at a burger joint would be cool, doesn't even have to be Livermore (although John's does have some kickin' burgers and shakes).

Dennis! Good to hear from ya.
Yeah, for those who have never been to Livermore's own John's Burgers... these are the ol' school gease bombs we used to eat before the chorestorol madness.


Maybe Dennis knows more than I about the Hod Rod Fridays at Johns.
Or I can look into to it more.

So OK... I'll make the first nomimation for the location for the unofficial, no show, no prizes, no judges "Region 18 Get Together"

My nomination is for Livermore in late October or early November.

Any comments or other nominations?

C'mon guys. Just seeing Dennis' EC project is worth the trip, not to mention John's Burgers.

Note to self... the spell checker is great!

DANNY

Livermore isn't too far sounds awesome.. Plus from the sounds of it a heart attack comes with the deal. That is priceless... Let me know what I can do to help this "get together" kicked off. :D

Scott

Hey there,

I am in Sonoma County, but will make the trek....... my ride is still in the getting-it-on-the-road-stage but I will drive there in my regular car. Keep me posted.

cilla

you're in

C'mon guys. Just seeing Dennis' EC project is worth the trip, not to mention John's Burgers.Aw man, now I am going to have wash it and clean the nasty engine bay, and lube the suspension, and change the oil, and....honestly guys, it's really not much to see.

Date and location work for me.

Yeah Yeah...
Don't let this man BS ya. He's got some BIGTIME $$$ and time into his sled.

Dennis, I don't know if you've painted her yet but either way, I'm sure she'll look good.

So how 'bout Friday Oct 28th?

So how 'bout Friday Oct 28th?Works for me (pencils in on calander).

That day works fine for me.. Count me in!!!

Scott

I'm there.

If someone can get me the address of johns burgers, I'm gonna do up a handfull of fliers, I see ALOT of elkies around here, at least 2 or 3 a day, and not the same ones.

Figure If I paper bomb them, maybe more will come and end up on here as well.

the 28th works great. I get off at 6 in Mountain view, and will head up after that. I'll try and get off a little early. Now I've got to start making progress on my interior, I would really love to have it in up there so you guys can check it out.

I'll try and make arrangements with my sister to stay up there that night, she lives off vasco road so hopefully i can stay as long as I want and maybe even get together on saturday with some of ya all that are local if we find things to go over.

I'd also suggest, that if any of us have spare parts we want to unload, that we load them up in the back of our elkies and do a bit of a swap meet there as well.

So stoked this is coming together.

John's Char-Burger

2617 Old 1st St

Livermore, CA 94550

Due to the extensive amount of road construction going in downtown Livermore I'll provide the "long way" directions.

From Dublin/San Jose/Concord:
East 580 to 1st street, take the 1st street exit and turn R at the light, stay on 1st street until you go over the railroad over pass (approximately 2 miles, it's the only over pass you will hit), upon dissent of the pass you will go through a stop light, just past the stop light on your right is the parking lot for Johns Char-burger.

From Tracy/Stockton:
West on 580 until 1st street, take 1st street exit and stay to the left, follow the off ramp back over the freeway and turn R at the stop light (it's the only way you can turn), stay on 1st street until you go over the railroad over pass (approximately 2 miles, it's the only over pass you will hit), upon dissent of the pass you will go through a stop light, just past the stop light on your right is the parking lot for Johns Char-burger.

There is a bicycle shop, an oil changers and a car wash all within a block so parking shouldn't be a problem. The actual parking lot for John's should hold about 40 cars or so. I am going to go in this week and say hello/introduce myself and give them a heads up so there won't be any suprises.

New to the site. I am a member of Chevelle Tech. I have a 69 El Camino. It is not in show shape but is a nice daily driver. I would be interested in a car show in the bay area. I am going to school in Chico but I live in San Francisco. I also know someone with a 71 El Camino that I could tell.

Ok I'm in...

If ya-all don't mind my"wreck-a-mino" (use to be called my pride and joy 1984 El Camino) so to speak.

Now days it is not looking soo good after having close conversation with a freeway gard rail...if you know what I mean ???

I'm out of Antioch, Where ever ya-all want to meet with in reason.

Woop-te-doo
Could be worse they say...
course that was them not ME......

See ya...

Hi,

Just saw the announcement via team chevelle.

New member here.

1971 Elky. Like others, not a show vehicle (and I have no intent to ever make it that way) but it is a relative goer (mini blown 468).

I will try and make it that day and time.

Coming from Los Gatos.

-stu

Welcome Stu.
Look forward to seeing ya and everyone else.
Damn, this thing might actually happen!?

This event has motivated me to get mine running. I have been in the garage every night this week. Sounds awesome can't wait.

Scott

If turn out is as good as it looks on here, we should have quite the nice cruise in. Everytime one of the other regions has posted about a get together, I don't think I've seen this much interest.

Loking forward to meeting all of you.

If any of you from the san jose, mountain view, los gatos region want to meet on our side of the hill, we can commune up there together, that would be cool.

Besides some of our elkies may need some lovin on the way up and who better to help than another elky if we have trouble.

did we ever decide on a TIME for the gathering. I'm hoping to be out of work before 6, but may not make it there till 7ish.

Just looking to throw something together for a flyer.

I am in Union City I think that would be cool to drive in together. Plus I hear ya on the nursing along. Not sure if the tranny will hold together. But definitely worth the chance..

Scott

What about meeting at the 680 / 880 interchange on mission blvd to cruise over the hill. its a little of a back track for you, but from sj and losgatos its pretty much enroute.

There is a burger king on the parking lot to the right as you are headed toward 680 from the 880 side. Try and meet there between 6 and 6:30?

If you guys want give me a call at 650-279-4122 and we can try and coordinate this further.

I'm gonna try and get Marv on the phone and get him to commit bringing his elky up from seaside. I'll talk to my buddy gary tommorrow who has an 83 and try and work on some fliers today. If i put something together I'll try and post it up here so you all can distribute it further on your ends.

I'm gonna try and talk my other buddy in to bringing up one of his rides, granted he's a mopar guy, but he has a beautifull cuda and a challenger. Another friend (insert beautiful hot chick) has a 68 coronet (I think that is what it is called) to bring it up as well.

Anyone have a good graphic to use for johns burgers.

Totally stoked abou this.

7ish sounds good.
First one there buys the chocolate banana shakes!

I will post the official notice as soon as all have had thier chance to comment.

I was thinking of putting out some fliers something like this:

http://elcaminocentral.com/users/gogopwr/necoa.jpg

I'm in the Bay Point, Concord area.

I will mark the date. Love to bring my '70. Kind of like bringing all of our dogs to a dog park to play. Instead of barks they throw revs at each other! :P

Dave

I've been lookng foward to seeing your ride, 70ELOC. I hope you make it out here.

well i had to make a new account so now i can get in.If im not working overtime i will sure to be there...sounds like alot of fun.

It's growing, I posted a link over at team Chevelle. I think I got another half dozen or so. Damn, we should have done this during the summer.

I hope the weather holds out. It seems the last few days before Nov the rain starts with the time change. Hope it's a clear night.

rain or shine my elky wil be there, i think the rain might help it run faster by knocking off some extra dirt :)

Don't even go there!!!
Rain will not be permitted!
I personally guarantee that there will be a fair/cool evening on tap.
... or else it's Dennis' fault.

Well what do ya know ?

I't does my heart good to see some support form Elky owners in the SF Bay Area willing to get it togather and meet for some this or that...

OK GANG TOO LATE TO BACK OUT NOW...

So Danny lets set a date and time, Ya think maybe ? ? ?

Sorry people, I didn't see the flyer made up for the date and time set for Livermore comming up very soon

James84Elky said that.....

Way ahead of ya, James.
I posted the Region 18 Inaugural Get-Together, yesterday.
It's October 28th from 7(ish) 'till dawn! OK, the dawn part is reaching but we'll do are best.

I was just about to ping ya, James... You started this thing, you have to be there.
And don't gimme that gas cost crap, I'll go down there and tow ya, if necessary!

Hey guys, just thought I'd share this..

So I printed up about 20 of those flyers figuring I knew a couple locals already who would be interested. Also figured, I usually see a few elkies a day on the road and maybe I could get one to one if it was convenient,
Sunday went for a cruise tot he store for some smokes, and saw a nic 86, threw one on the car.

Decided rather than take my normal route back, I'd hit a couple of the side streets. Found 3 more elkies within a mile of my house, having fun with it widened my search another mile or so,...

Jist of it is, I ran out of flyers and made it home about 3 hours later, after yapping with fellow elky owners, and hopefully got some other locals to cruise up there, and definetly re-invigorated them about their elkies.

I found a cherried out early 70's a few beaters, a few daily drivers, met about 7 cool elky owners.

A little foot work around your local neighborhood may do your heart and soul good as well as increase our turn out. Didn't even feel like i was working, I was on my own local cruise around :)

All I can say is wow. That is dedication. I printed off some today. Will let you know if I have the same result. See everyone on friday... Can't wait 8)

Scott

Looks like I'm going to have to drive the SUV to the get together. Can't get the Elky running in time... :( Oh well I am bringing lots of pictures for everyone to see. Can't wait.

Scott

I'm getting anxious folks :)

Replaced my front brake pads last night, pulled out my temporary spring expanders I installed to minimize initial rubbing. Their removal actually improved my rubbing such that now, only on the passenger side i get a little rub in steep driveways, picked up some carpet paint today, going to try and do a thourough cleaning of my existing carpet today, leave it out in the sun to dry tommorrow while I'm working on my seat brackets and then hopefully die and put back in on sunday.

Ulitmately going to replace it, but for now, just gotta paint it to match :)

Lots of other little things to do this week, but have high hopes of completion :)

scootermk: If you want you are welcome to ride up with me, I took the day off knowing I will be pushing the last minute to get all my stuff done on the elky, so i will head up on friday around 6, but I probably won't be leaving livermore until saturday sometime late morning early afternoon, crashing at my sisters, which I'm sure you would be welcome on the couch, (for sure the bed of my elky :)

Anyhow, hope you all are able to make it, I'm looking forward to meeting you all, I have yet to meet a person who likes elkies that I didnt like :)

If we can meet somewhere on 880 or 680 which ever route you are going to take I will follow you out in my SUV. Thanks for the offer but the Wife says I need to be home Friday night. 8)

Crazy women.. She will never understand that the Elky comes first.

Anyway let me know time and place and I will be there.

Scott

the couple folks I've been talking too down on our side, I have told them to meet between 6 and 6:30 at the 680/880 interchange (mission blvd Exit) on the right side is a burger king with a parking lot. Just pull in there, we'll head out at 6:30 and migrate to livermore.

call me at 650-279-4122 if anyone needs more info.

Been watching the weather real close. The last update for the week is rain thursday night into friday morning. It should end and hope it will be dry for us on friday night. Wet or dry I plan on being there! 8)

Dave

Well, count me in too for the get together this Friday night. I'll bring my '69 El Camino. Well, if it rains Friday I'll have an excuse not to wash it before driving over from Concord. See you Friday night. Bonnie

Hey Bonnie,

What time are you planning on leaving? Just asking as I see you are in Concord. I live in the same area. If you want to cruise over with another elky just let me know. :-P

Dave

Sounds like its coming together folks, looked outside today and it wasn't as gray as it has been, so maybe it will be a nice day.

looking forward to meeting all of you.

For those on the san jose / fremont side of the hill, a few of us are going to tag up at mission blvd and 880/680 interchange in the parkinglot of burgerking between 6 and 6:30 and head up together from there.

If you want to meet up give me a call at 650-279-4122 so we are sure not to leave without you :)

cya guys

Dave, I sent you an e mail. Bonnie

Looks like it's getting bigger! A member of my Nor Cal GN (Buick Grand National) club heard about the event from the Chevelle club. The GN guys will be there also. :-P I can't drive both....I'm driving the ELCO! :P

Dave

time, dates?

Even though it will be dark we should bring cameras!...thanks for the email Bonnie, I will see you there!

I will wear my El Camino Central t-shirt or hooded sweat shirt proudly!

I'd wear my official El Camino Central Silver Contributor's Baseball Hat, but mine was lost in transit. I'm sure I'll be receiving my replacement hat soon, especially when they what a great turnout we get tomorrow.
I'm jazzed.
I've been swamped and haven't been able to do any spit or polish to her but I love her even without a bath.
I should be at John's Burgers around 6:30-7ish. Sounds like we could pack the joint.
For those coming in on 84, you should take Isabel to Stanley and all the way up to First St. The insider move is to turn left off of Stanley just before you get to First. You turn left into a sort of cul-de-sac just after the 3-story Muni parking lot. Bear right thru the gun shop's parking lot and John's will be across the street.
For those who indulge, stop by Babe's Place (saloon) and tell her "White Boy" (long story) sent you.
I'll see you nuts tomorrow

DANNY

Awesome get together guys!!! Had a great time. Lets do it again soon. Hopefully we will get a bigger turn out with every time we organize one. Thanks Jim for the advise on the motor and trans. You got me thinking about way more than I probably should. I see the dollar signs dancing in my head as we speak. It's only money!!!! :D

Scott

Definitely a big success! Thanks, all who came and those who tried.
Damn, I thought I was alone with this disease. I happy to see the infection is alive and spreading.
I like the Sunday plan. I'm feeling warm and fuzzy 'bout a breakfast meeting at Jim's in Pleasanton. Jim's makes the best omelet in the area... try the Jimmie!

Any other thoughts?

Awesome ride, Dave. Tho, a half point deduction for the inside deal to buy her, will be applied!

Dennis... yellow?

All you guys were great. What time did the party break up?
My apologies for the early exit. The boy (my son) turned 13 today and had big plans for the evening.

Let's keep the party going and see where is takes us.

DANNY

Dennis... yellow?

DANNYIf anyone is any good with photoshop they can put this yellow on my truck and give an idea of how it will come out.

click me for picture (http://cencalmachinery.com/popup_image.php?pID=81)

Congrats on your Elky event guys. Did anybody post any pictures?

Hey guys, had a blast meeting everyone, a decent turn out (at least in my mind)...

I have some pictures, but stupid me forgot the camera at home, and my card reader is at work.

We broke up around 10ish if I recall correctly.

After talking with some buddies down here in the san jose area, there are a couple classic car gatherings that go on down here as well, i'll try to get the details on dates and places and we can add it to our list of rotations :)

Looking forward to a "Jimmie" omlet, let us know when and where.

Wayne

Any word on another get together? 8)

Scott

There are a lot of El Caminos in Fairfield but no groups to speak of.

DDDAANNNNNGGG!!!! I MISSED IT! NEVER KNEW OF THIS!!! Well guys lets plan another one...I'll be fer sure to attempt to make it maybe even get a couple guys to go too!

Hey Guys I just found this Regional thing out, I live in Woodland, north of Sac, anything going on anytime soon might be willing to take the old girl out, not even close to showing but I like to see what people think of my style. Let me know...

I'm a recent E.E.C. member. Live in the bay area. Read about Region 18 attempt to hook up somewhere. Has a place been designated. Would like to participate T.bland

I live in Chico and would like to show up to a meeting. Please add me to a list if you have one. graphxdesigns@mac.com

any effort to have another get toghether, new to the site and love the idea. i live down in the san mateo county area

Count me in . Would like to see and talk El Caminos.

I'm in. i live in modesto, but its not too far from the bay, i got family in hayward and castro valley.

I live in Chico but would travel to see some El Caminos...

I live over the hill in Reno, but I'd drive to Sacramento or the bay area for an Elky show/gathering...

Be sure and make reservaions to attend the Chevy El Camino's 50th Anniversary Celebration, Oct 31-Nov1, 2009 at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield CA. First ones to register will be parked on the drag strip next to the band stage in front of the bleachers. 5 bands, 1500 vehicles, 65 acres, One Awesome Time!

I see this is an old thread but perhaps someone will pick up the ball and arrange a show in Northern California or arrange for a group to attend the Canby Oregon show on July 19

If you guys arrange a NorCal show keep me informed of the plans so they can be included in the Carlisle show book and online.

Well I don't have a show car ... its a road worthy 85 and gets 22 mph. Good enough to drive from Stockton to Fremont and back as a daily commuter ... But it's a work in progress.

I wouldn't mind showing up ... but I would still rather ride on 2 wheels than in my 4 wheeled cage. LOL

Every Thursday evening on El Camino Real close to Lawrence in San Jose, CA. There is a large car get together by the Boston Market, I've had my Camino there a few times there is over 100 cars there sometimes, or why not meet at the Pleasanton Car show and all park together. The cheapest way to get in pleasanton is to show your car, it dosn't have to be show quality and you get a great parking spot. I show my El Camino there 2 to 3 times a year and I'm yet to have anyone come up to me and ask if I belong to ECCO and I have the calendar usually on the dash.

Now this thread is 4 yrs old, I can see how the ball gets dropped. Let me do some research Leo and see if I can't come up with the makes of a Nor Cal get together.

Im about 1 1/2 hrs down I-80 so hell yea ill make it. It would be a first for me.

Are you guys going to hit the Goodguys All American Get Together on March 28/29th? I am making every effort to show my El Camino there (it's not pretty or anything) and I will be with the Buick guys if everything works out.

Dave

I will be there on the 29 th. If anyone really wants to meet up, e-mail me at byork72@gmail.com I will shoot my cell and we can hook up when we are there. Also there are some hoochie models doing a photo shoot @ the waterfront in Oakland this weekend, I am going there to see if they will rub on my car to make it shinier.. Free pics too

hey,there is a get together every Wensday night at the corner of Scott blvd. and El Camino from 4p.m. to 8 p.m.in Santa Clara..In the mervin's parking lot,next to Boston Market..I just got back from it today,over a 100 cars..good turnout..:rockon:

OK time is wasting and so is the awesome weather.. I was thinking we could round up the troops next weekend, whomever wants to show up anyway. We can meet somewhere, then take a cruise and some photos have some lunch and beers??? Lets see who is out there!!!!
:beer:

I live in Fairfield and I work graves so I can make just about any show if it's close enough.

Saturday all day or Sunday am to 1:00pm

Hey sounds good we can meet Sat. the 11th @ Pena adobe park and cruise up to winters and have some lunch! How does that sound

Blue 68, Where's Pena park. T.Bland

Wooo! Rustbucket 1980 elco looking forward to next weekend, now! I started getting my elco ready for smogging and re-registering again (it's been a LONG time) and it should be driveable in the next couple days! :D Woo!

If we can get in touch with the Original Poster, it'd be great to update the first post with information..

Its in between Fairfield, and Vacaville on I-80, the cherry glen exit I believe. We just go in the park, go around the lake all the way to the right, and there is a large parking lot next to a frisbee golf course. Then we can chat and head down the back roads to Winters by Lake Berryessa.

I don't want to sound like a party popper,but,what time are you guys going to meet up at the park??
{Pena Park}:dontknow:

Oh Gilby do you want to come play??? 10 AM :nanawrench:

And it's POOPER not popper LOL..

I am moving this thread to a new one..

I have a 78 and just getting started, would love some ideas and support on how to get through this and make it a better car. I would love to go to informal type meeting a cruise night type of thing. Don't have time for a show of any kind.

Your more than welcome to come out I have an empty seat or you can drive yourself..

Just really sad nobody but me showed up :dontknow:

2010 bump... Anyone thinking of have a El Camino show? I am down :) During the summer time there is a car show every Friday afternoon/evening at the Sun Valley Mall in Concord. There are usually some pretty nice cars and people there.

I'm pretty sure I can go to the San Jose night one. That isn't too far, Santa Clara on a wedsday night is a maybe haha it just depends

Auburn, CA has a cruise night every 2nd friday of the month. i'm not to sure how many people are from around the 530 or 916 area code but i figure it's a good place to meet other Elco owners. The next one is July 9th if your around the area it would be cool to come. PM and ill get you some more details if you want.
