[oldsmobile joe]

Where's airboatgreg? Doesn't he have one?
Isn't there a lady putting an ls motor in one also?

Party in the front, business in the back.

I saw this POS making South Carolina proud on the way to get some nerves burned this morning...

Honorary contestant? It's got something going on in the back. Also looks kinda like an ls-swap owner?

I'll enter mine, though one is a work in progress, and the other an original unrestored.
The work(er) in progress, '78 Caballero

Factory base model. v6/3spd stick, no power accessories/air condition. Upgraded to v8/5spd stick, power window/door locks, power bucket seats, A/C (in process, airbox and dash completed, working on engine brackets for compressor, condenser).

Unrestored original 40700 miles.
'79 Chevrolet El Camino. 305/Automatic transmission, power windows/locks/AC.

Here, both side by side in the driveway.

Neither one a show stopper yet, but I hope that you consider the potential that each one carries for the future.

Did someone say "El Camino"?

Ah, who could forget the last Breaking Bad episode when Jesse hightails it out of the outlaw bikers compound in the El Camino.

Don't sell yourself short.

There's something nice about minty-fresh low mileage bone stock survivors. Even more-so when it comes to cars like the wagons and Camino/Caballero which were geared towards abuse via hauling stuff.l, either garco or people.

One used the bed... and the other, well, I'm sure many a parent wished they had a Camino bed to stick the screaming kids in instead of the wagon.

Not that there's anything wrong with your pictures, but, I bet the survivor would really shine with good lighting, angle, and backdrop.

How about Doug Chahoy ?

Is it together to the point to get some pics?
