Welp, I knew if I scoured the interwebs long enough, I'd run across a forum supporting these cars.
I've always loved the G-Body GM cars and El Caminos in general.
I'm a Retired USAF Vet and fell into my dream job of helping other Vets as a Vet Service Officer.
While out of my office conducting outreach, about I ran across another Vet that at the end of the conversation asked me if I was a car guy... when I affirmed that I was, he asked if I liked El Caminos...
Well, I had to run out to his small farm to grab his discharge paperwork (my scanner wigged out, I found out after he left) and he gave me a hard time for what the real reason I had for stopping out...
Well, he went in to grab the paperwork and I went to the fence line.... in the fence line is a 1983 El Camino. The body has some Eastern Montana surface rust and one dent.... the interior is ratted out.
He gave me a several hundred dollar price, I was dismayed at the condition, but I think I'll buy it on the condition that I can get it running.... lol
Worst case scenario? I'll spend some time here trying to glean some knowledge.
Hopefully I'll have a new toy by the end of the summer.
