I finally picked up my El Camino yesterday. I bought it on ebay for $3300. The engine has a rod knock and probably shouldn't be driven 50 miles on the highway, so we trailered it home.

Anyways, here it is.

1969 Chevrolet El Camino

305 engine
Saginaw 4 speed
10 bolt open rear end
15' inch wheels
New tires
Black interior with bench seat
Needs new floors
Could use a new bed (it's banged up)
The rear bumper is in so-so shape. I got a new one from the seller for $100 and will put it on eventually.
Door locks need to be fixed
Parking brake needs to be fixed
Needs a new tie rod up front

And various other things. I have about a page long list of things to do.
