Here's what is looks like:

The piece zip tied to the top is the frame side Z bar bracket I think. I pulled this one out of a Cutlass about 25 years ago, so- it's been a while.

Lots of goodies there- bed rail trim, tailgate- especially if it's straight, rear bumper and tail lights, drip rail trim.

The rear bumper, tailgate, seat belt guides, doors, and the entire front clip complete with radiator and fan shroud look to be worth saving.

I’m glad to get the word out that it’s there waiting. While it’s not far from me I already got what I needed. They sell stuff cheap enough that someone could make money on resale of stuff. I don’t really have the time.

Btw, it had a brand new radiator including brand new upper and lower hoses. Aluminum core / plastic tank radiator. I’m pretty sure it’s a 350 engine and it has the older bow tie exhaust manifolds and true dual exhaust. Qjet carb

Best to get the Z bar and frame pivot mount if still available as well.
I'd even grab the column & back up light switch harness if they was still there. If there were any stick cars in the yards I hit I'd clean house on them.

Replacement fenders are damn near $300 online not including the very expensive shipping cost. The fender I got is straight as an arrow with only one dime sized rust hole on the very lower front (easy to fix). Got it for $65
I've got five (5) '78 - '81 fenders and none have rust out on bottom heels. Should be Fedexable - no other options here. That El Camino is an incredible find, forty five years old - and it's dumped. Some Malibu guy will have a field day there.

This is in LKQ Hawkins Point Baltimore. I took the right fender, and a corner lens and trim. The most interesting thing about this car is even though it was currently equipped with TH350, it has a clutch pedal setup for a manual transmission. I’m thinking somebody wants it.

is there any other manual trans.items such as the steering column, shift indicator block off, z bar and frame bracket, shifter hump? View attachment 229342
