picked up an 81 el camino over the weekend, the cl ad was horrible with pictures so blurry they were useless but it was less than a mile from my house so looked at it and dragged it home. has a newer header panel and fenders on it, header panel is kind of hanging on for dear life, seems 78-81 radiator supports are a little different. 3.8/3 speed standard car, both of which are long gone. last owner had a 350/4 speed in it with a hydraulic clutch which i may use since i have a bellhousing but i have g body ones too. gas door and license plate pocket were shaved, put gas in from inside the bed now. parts missing in addition to engine and trans are crossmember, driveshaft, steering box, steering column, gauges, some trim, headliner, hood, grill, and rear bumper. luckily i have half this crap in my basement and theres 2 salvage yards near me that have 3 caminos each so i should be able to slam it together easy enough. problem right now is the vin plate is rusted to hell and he couldnt find paperwork so now i'm guessing at it. since chevy considers it a truck my factory car manuals arent much help. i can see 1gccw8dk5br13375, the d may not be right and i cant see the last number but i'm not too worried about that, just need the rest correct and i'll figure the last one out easy enough since i know its a number.
