Default Re: Anyone have a 1970 El Camino LS6 for sale?

Thanks for the welcome mr70!

I aquired my ls6 El Camino in jan 04. I have been busy doing alot of research and a frame on resto of it since. The verdict is, that it is rust free and is in fact has number matching engine, trans and rear. Many componets where long gone and I have spent most of the last year searching for parts like exhaust manifolds, correct carb, distributor, a complete emmissions system, alt and many other parts that hit the trash can over the years. Luckily it had all the correct pulleys, 291 heads, intake, radiator. All the glass except the rear glas was still original and 3 of the 4 wheels were original also.
There is no info on how many ls6 El Camino's Chevrolet produced. Estimates run from 25 to 500. The value of a restored car like this can only be guessed at until one shows up at BJ or some other well known source. I paid 45k for mine and it needed a complete mechanical restoration and repaint. I figure to have 20 to 25k invested to complete the car. My insurance company helped me set a value figure for coverage at 90k.

No its not for sale!!

Any info anybody has on this odd and rare car/truck would be of great help.
Regards, Rick

PS Mike Bond emailed me a few pics of his ls6 Elky. Sweet!!
