Projects The politically correct 59 El Camino

a nice cosmetic resto should bring 18-25. I saw a black primer one with some rust, and a brand new interior for 10500 last weekend, and have seen ones equivilant to mine-bad paint, no rust, big block hot rod with a crappy interior in the same price range. the lack of rust gives you a blank canvas. If your just selling it as is, 3-. If you get all themissing parts, probably in the 6-7,000 dollar range, based on what I have seen.

 

There's a guy that has a complete, flapped out truck. That's the perfect scenario. Just swap the parts over

 

Dang, I so wish to visit/buy this cancer/rust free ride JJ.

 

59 being the first always got my interest in ElCamino's and influenced some of the design I used in my 56 ElCamino build.
That 63 looks like a great start for something different and unique. Then again, I guess I do like things that are different.

 

You're always welcome to stop by!

 

I've seen a 58 wagon, done similarly. Definitely different!

 

Home and tucked away, in its corner

 

Anybody interested, contact me at 909/ 659-8797

 

Sweetness! Double dip in the backyard. Like the color too. Good luck on the ca-ching when the luck dude lay's down the green.

 

The cowl tag is gone. I'm wondering how that happens. I'm not in a rush to sell this thing. I'd rather find the right customer

 

They are almost exact opposite, color wise. They are flip flopped. What a coincidence

 

Jenna said what? You got another '59?
Holy cow, JJ that's a score.
Good for you, man
I'll come over to see it and be amazed.

More than welcome, anytime!

I was trying to talk my uncle into it. Keep it in the yard. Get rid of his gmc Sprint and put this thing together. But I don't think he wants to

 

SOLD SOLD SOLD! That was fast!

 

So the guy that "just had to have this thing".. flaked.
Not surprised, probably bipolar!

So today, I re-posted it, on ePay.
Just a half hour later, I was making arrangements for delivery.
It's finally gone.

Schtoked!

 

No surprise in the quick sale. It was a sweet find.

 

Got more for it, too. Sometimes it pays to wait

 

Found another one. Waiting on pics of the inner rockers, an all the other usually rusty areas.

 

Not a patch panel on this thing. The only thing missing is the rear roof molding, but that doesn't matter now that it's going to be transformed. Looking for 2dr H.T doors

 

Here is another that was recently discovered. Parked since 1974 in a nice dry barn. It is California built and was originally black.

 

This one spent it's life, in AZ. Another one that fell in my lap.
