    El Caminos are good have a soft spot for them myself.

    I retired my 68 last year (at some point I'll get around to do a cosmetic restoration)

    I got the 72 LT1 Corvette engine put in this one the 84 a coupkle of weeks ago and been driving the wheels off that

    and finally the 83 "parts truck" really looks like a good candidate for the 500 inch Cadddy motor that I've been tripping over for way too long.

    So is there an Obama El Camno web site I apply at or what

    Don't give up on this dream!!

    I love El Caminos and will someday own one. The 66 - 72 are my favorites with the 69/70 SS being my most favored.

    Here's what $13,000 (US) buys in an El Camino:

    Nice restored 350/350 car! Edelbrock performer package, 10 bolt posi, new bumpers & paint, ss hood. New quarters, not mudded, original floorboards, clean! Reupholstered bench seat with Hurst vertical gate shifter. Pop bottle a-racing wheels.

    This one is available in California so you'd have the transportation and import to deal with, but in the coming months, I believe that there will be some sweet deals and remember money talks.


    Have fun and let us encourage you to follow that dream!

    Regards,,
    Glenn

    P.s - Obama drives a Prius or a SmartCar - wouldn't know an El Camino from an El Dorado..
