I guess it was bound to happen! I bought another El Camino today. It's a 198? Conquista, not too sure of year, forgot to ask, but has the four headlights and side marker front fenders. Pretty rough on the outside, and will probably just be a parts car for my 79. I only had a few minutes to look at it, but saw enough value to make a deal on the spot. The best part is it's only 7 doors down from me!
Apparently needs a timing chain and was been off the road since 2005. Didn't even look under the hood, so I don't know what engine yet. By the looks of it, when it was on the road, It got hit a lot. Both doors have dents, and drivers side skin is loose whole bottom half, driver front fender has a small ding, rear quarters have same dings. Other various scrapes and dents on hood, cab, trim.
The good.... Has a near perfect tailgate, all glass is good, nice dash with newer style gauge cluster, buckets and console with floor shift, interior trim dark red and not faded to pink like my 79. A canopy, which I will probably sell because I don't like them. Nice tires on stock wheels with good chrome and caps. Near perfect rear and front bumpers. Power window and lock door panels in good shape.
There is probably more but I only had a glance, and will know more what I got once I pick it up this weekend. Just happens to be a good match for my 79 if I go parts car with it. There is the small desire to possibly just fix this one up too.
Somebody has to stop me! This is vehicle #6 since New Years! Or 6.5 if you count all the parts I got from Chris(Leogexx) a couple weeks ago.
