Have you met Helmut? He goes by "L78M22Rag" By memory he has a similar Elky, and a Western Canada guy:-)

the rally wheels are gone, i took them off right away, it now has vintage American Racing torque thrusts that i have owned for 40 years(i collect all vintage american racing wheels), the rears are custom widened to 15x9 3/8&quot; and the fronts are 15x7, tires are 275/ 60 on rear, 215/ 70 on front

...yes , that is a real hemi cuda in the background( not mine)

there was another elcamino ordered the same day at Manders by the original owners good buddy, apparently it is the twin except for being dark green , it was raced at Mission in its early days...ran mid 12's (i dont know if it still exists) , my elcamino was never raced at the strip(only on the street)

the seats were done in about 1970-71 by Casey(rip) in Burnaby because one cold winter day the orig owner got in and the seat seam split .

Americans look great! At first glance I thought those were some old Fentons on it....Love the look of those on 68's!

Agree...those rims are a great finishing touch for that Elco.
