An El Camino owner needs our/your help.

[mickey-d]

M&M Speed and Custom was contacted by a young mans father to see if we could help out making a dream come true. Brett is 15 and loves El Camino's. His family pooled their money and purchased a 1980 that had been in storage for 12 to 15 years. They would like Brett to be able to do some modifications, and some things to "personalize" the car, but they are out of funds. I'm going to try to copy and paste a couple of posts from the M&M Forum to here, so that you guys can check it out for yourselves. We have already received some help in different areas, but we could use more assistance in all areas. If you would like to see pictures of Brett and his family, and the El Camino, please go to, http://mandmspeed.com/ You don't have to register, just go to the forum and scroll down to the post that says"Lets make a dream come true".

We were contacted on Saturday by Mr. Rafael Ballestero. He has a son, Brett, who is 15, almost 16. Brett has leukemia and has been dealing with this for a year and a half. They have contacted the Make A Wish foundation because Brett's dream is to buy and restore an El Camino. Unfortunately, Make A Wish does not help with vehicles other than cosmetics. His father found a 1980 El Camino and purchased it for him. The car had been garage stored for 15 years and doesn't need much. They have been slowly trying to fix it up. However, they are having some problems with the transmission. They would like to replace the turbo 350 with a 700R4 because Brett will be using the car as his daily driver and will get better mileage. We met with the family on Saturday afternoon and verified that this is not a scam. They are a very nice family...Dad(Rafael) Mom(Kristin) and 17 yr old brother Jason. They have all gone without things in order to pay for all the expenses not covered by insurance. We would like to ask all of our members to help out in some way no matter how small. Every little bit can be used to help make his dream come true. Please call Rich or Becky and let us know what you can do. We will be donating some parts and are contacting other sources for help. Let's make a light shine for this young man and his family and show them what M & M members are all about.
Thanks so much,
Rich, Becky, and Mikey

Brett also would like to redo the interior and paint the car as well as get 17" wheels and tires.
