Whats up guys and gals. Just wanted to drop a couple of lines to introduce myself. I go by Magik. No new to g bodies but has been a while since I have owned on. Just recently purchased a 78 El camino that is supposedly a Black Knight. It has the build that matches the vin, but not the tag under the hood. Confusing.

My plan if it is a real Black knight is to return to close as original as possible. If its not a real BK. Then I want to customize it to my taste. Its rough now but will be a beauty when Im done.

Welcome aboard from KY man. Hey, you gotta start somewhere with the build. It's good to see people like yourself still snatching up these cars for sure. If it is a real BK, it will be awesome to see it return to its former glory!

Looks like it ended up in good hands.

Magik, welcome to a great site! Have fun with your El Camino.

Ive always wanted a 78-80 elcamino but it seems like something goes wrong when I go to buy one lol

Thank you for all the welcomes. Sorry for the horrible typing in my original post. I swear I am not dumb Lol . Before I got to partying and all that for the new year, I spent most of the day rebuilding the front suspension. Seems like the previous owners were pot hole hunting or thought the el co was the General Lee and was launching this car of ramps! everything was shot!
Happy New year to all!

It should have a z16 if it is a Black Knight?
