Depends on the car. Since I would more then likely need to pull some cash out of the Chevelle fund, I want to keep it to less than $5K for now. I am not looking for a great car - just a good solid body I can put together later on.
Perfect car? 1964 El Camino - no rust, no engine, no transmission, no special options, lots of potential. Dashboard would need to be complete and in decent shape - but I already have a seat, and panels and carpet are easy to come by. I have a decent 350/TH350 combo from my Chevelle that will be looking for a new home this summer after my LS2/T56 swap. I am thinking toss the engine/tranny in the Camino for a quick parts truck. Save major work for later on when the Chevelle is streetable. You may remember the story about the 1970 El Camino, original owner, low miles that I scrounged up. Guy wanted around $1000 for it. Well, needless to say it was not the car it was supposed to be. Through a series of miscommunications, what I found was a 1985 El Camino SS, 100% original and 100% in need of work. Could be a good project for someone that wants it. Guy still wants $1000 for it. Any takers? His fathers 1970 all original survivor went in the estate sale, and he acquired the 1985 a few years later on in trade for some legal work. DAMN!!! T.J.

I already bought one longroof (a van for my wife - I know, flame suit on). If you see a good Camino in central California - give me a shout. T.J.
