Based on the picture it looks like it is (or was) owned by The Chev Connection which I believe is now known as House of Hardtops. I don't know anything about the vehicle but certainly know the dealer has been discussed on this board a time or two. I'd like to see a build sheet or such to accompany those matching #s.

Nice looking vehicle.

Is this the one that came out of Clements Chevrolet in Rochester, MN or am I thinking of Reggies LS6 Camino that was lost in his warehouse fire?

I would think that an LS6 El Camino would be pretty rare. Does anyone know how many LS6 El Caminos were produced?

Looks like a really nice car and it is defintely on my shopping list.

Thanks

That could not be truer. It is getting harder and harder to find cars in this shape to restore and they are sure a pleasure to restore when they are like this not too mention far less expensive.

No way to know how many were made but likely in about the same area as convertibles.
