Default New to Forum! Searching for 1st El Camino!

Thanks to DONE DEAL DONNY who invited me to El Camino Central! I'm looking for my first El Camino in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX. Any pointers? Hoping to find an Elco that is decent enough to be daily driver as I add my own identity to it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome, glad you decided to join!!!
I want to say I"ve heard of that car dealer before but I'm not real sure. I'll see if I can find out anything!!!
Make sure you look under it real good for rust. I will say it's a nice looking ride.
I'll run the VIN tonight when I get home and see what the numbers say!!!
Enjoy the site!!
Donny

Check out Bethany Cars in Oklahoma. A little on the pricey side but great cars.

thnks to all! Great support here, Donnie you were right, lol. Jarhead, I've seen a few of those El Caminos.
I'm looking for a good running (hopefully decent looking) Elco that can be an immediate daily driver until I can add my own identity to it. $3k to $10k preferably finance option, if possible.

Do you have a particular generation that you would like?

59-60 1st, 64-67 2nd, 68-72 3rd, 73-77 4th, 78-87 5th.
