No mullet here either. I did have long hair for a while, but it was not a
mullet. More like the 60's hippy I just never cut it at all look.

You all should check out the El Camino Dudes web site. I thought I had it
bookmarked but can't find it.

I am 55.  My first Chevelle was a 65 SS 327 4sp convert.  What a car.  It
was a warmed over 327 and really flew.

About 6 years ago, my son and I bought another chevelle, a 72.  It was a
basket case and if I had it to do again would have started with something a
little better shape.  We have learned a lot, have finally put the body back
on the frame and ready to drop the original 307 back in and then off to the
body shop.

I'm 42 and I originally bought my El Camino for my brother, because he said
he always dreamed of having one. Personally, the one I would have dreamed
about would have been a 69 convertible. However, the EC sat in my brother's
driveway for about 2 years until his wife got tired if looking at it, and I
always liked 69s. So, I bought it back from bro Joe (methinks I never fully
paid him for it), and put it back together. It is now very respectable and
in full service. I was just thinking the other day that I should have taken
pictures on days like when I was using it to haul lumber in rain and snow,
or the day I had a whole pallet plus a few boxes of Pergo flooring in the
back.

With regard to the 68 being a red headed step child, it's kinda like the 
thru cars in the Tri Five group .  Everybody refers to them as the  55 
thru 57 Chevy which makes the 56 the thru car.  Never talked about but 
definately there.  Red headed step child.  But seen some of them grow up 
into good looking red heads - so never underestimate the potential or the 
unusual.

Hi,
I'm 47, prematurely gray.
People ask if I bought my 64 new! : (

First 64 Chevelle came in 77 when I was in Orlando Florida.
Courtesy of US Navy that car went through every state between Florida and 
Massachusetts.
(Fla, Ga, SC, NC, Va, Del, Md, Pa, NJ, NY, Conn, RI, Mass)
Fast forward 20+ years: The rust had caught up with it.
330,00 miles on odometer! Saw it rollover twice.
The money spent to fix that one would probably take care of the other three 
Chevelles so it had to go.
Sold her to a professional welder, best chance for a car that needed so much 
sheetmetal replaced.
A pro street project I suspect. 
Didn't ask, didn't want to know.
Still have the 2dr wagon, 4dr sedan, SS hardtop, all 64's.

Were 58 years

You have to be careful using wording as it has different meaning depending
on where you are from. Around here a Mullet is a fish mostly used for bait,
but some old timers also use that term for their Johnson. I have an Elky,
but a very conservative hair style and don't know anyone with their mullet
on their head.

Hi Bob and others

Your question creates some posting, and
personally I really enjoy reading all the input and stories.

My first car was an Opel
Commodore with an inline 6, I got it from dad, and I think after 6 month or it
was replaced with Firebird 71. It was around 78, and paid equivalent to 2000
USD for it.

Replaced the motor and did some other
stuff to it, but a divorce and lack of money forced me to sell it 1984. Since
then I have had a lot of different European crap, mostly company cars. 

1999 when I moved to US, my first funny
car was an Eldorado Convertibel
to restore (I still have it) and finally I bought my ElCamino
in December 2001. I paid 1200 dollar, and I got what I paid for J

A better deal would have been to by a
restored one, but cash flow wise this is better for my situation. 

Thanks to you guys in the list I improve
my knowledge daily

44 here. Ive
always liked classic cars but because of family needs I never could afford one,
until 2001 when I sold my 84 Monte Carlo SS and placed a down payment on my 69
Chevelle SS. The car body was in good shape and came with a 1973 454. A friend of mine, who is a Chevy nut,
traded me the 454 for a 396 block in which he rebuilt for me at a fraction of
the cost. Since then I dropped a
couple nickels and dimes into the car and Im lucky if I put 500 miles on
it a year, like Zieg72. My kids are
now 5 and 7, so they are at the age where I can get out and take a ride more
often. Thanks to
everyone on the list who has helped me over the years. This is a great list and Id be

I'm 50, and I got my first '71 Malibu in 1974. At that time I didn't do 
much work on the car other than tune ups, oil changes, and a clutch. I bought my 
second '71 Malibu in 1999, which is virtually identical to my first car (see http://www.eagleshore.com/bear/bear.htm). 
But with help from this list and some friends, I'm learning the art of car 
restoration and modification. I'm confident enough now to have actually 
purchased another car ('66 Elky) to work on while I drive the Malibu.

Hi,
My Dad bought his 67 SS in 69 when 
I was 4, it is the car that warped me for life...I now own it. My first drivable 
67 Malibu was purchased in '86. I had been building a 383 and needed a chassis 
and my uncle in WV knew of the car that was for sell. We hauled the engine down 
and spent a week getting it running and drove it the 400 miles back home. I just 
hit 40 this year and while I have the 67's on the back burner, I am putting a 69 
Malibu together as a driver, nice rust free western car I just got last fall, it 
is inmuch better shape than what you get in a car from 
Indiana.

it will be a turn key car...been there done that over the years now is the

40 years old.  I've wanted a Chevelle since age 12, at 16 my Dad refused to
let my buy one - probably saved my life.  Then came college, marriage,
building a custom house (3 car attached garage connected with ramp to
basement with space for 3 more) - and twins.   In 2002 bought our numbers
matching 1966 SS.  I had looked for 1.5 years for a restorable #'s car that
was still presentable until I decide to do a frame off restoration.  I know
the frame off will take several years based on the time I can give it.
Until then, my supportive wife and 7 years old twins (boy / girl) enjoy
cruising around and local car shows.

Funny that some of you have discussed passing cars on.  Someday I'm to
inherit my Dad's frame off restored '33 Nash Ambassador - of only 742 he

Boy Ya'll are a bunch of young farts, I'm 60 bought my
66 Malibu in 1994 then added a 1964 Elky  then added
a 1966 Elky. Before that I had in 69 a 1964 Corvette convertible 
327/365 4 speed. Which I sold for $1700.00 in 1973 to start my
machine
shop. I know I kick myself every day. But then my machine shop is
still going. After that I built the cars  truck you can see on

sold
them in 1994 because we couldn't get an inspection sticker for them
anymore. That's when we went to older cars.

The picture doesn't due justice, but it's the only one the NASH Car Club
had on put on their website.  My Dad is the 3rd owner.  Original owner was
the funeral home in Tomahwak, WI, sold to a local farmer, who used it on
his farm which is near our families vacation property.  At times it was
filled with corn cobs.  The rear suicide doors had been sprung past and
flattened out the rear fenders.  My Dad bought it in 1961 and spent the
next 1.5 years doing a complete frame off restoration promising the farmer
that he would not hot rod it -  the farmer had seen some of my Dad's
creations that were brought up to the families place to die a painful
death.  All body work was done with heat and body mallets.  40+ years later
it is still pristine and has been kept in a heated garage.  The last 20
years it's had it's own, enclosed, heated, dust proof, storage room in his
basement (indoor ramp connects garage to basement - I stole the same
concept).  It has some unique features for it's day - twin ignition, worm
gear rear end, safety glass, automatic chassis lubrication system.

I never really thought about my grandkids tillI was 50. I can leave them money guns (they love to shoot) and the like ,but the best thingI can give them is truth,and my word is always good!
But the love of old carsis one that is important to me and I'm sure most of you all.
And it looks like most of my age guys and gals want the same thing. I was afraid to think that it might die out from lack of interest but looks like it wont..

I'm 42 and I originally bought my El Camino for my brother, because he said
he always dreamed of having one. Personally, the one I would have dreamed
about would have been a 69 convertible. However, the EC sat in my brother's
driveway for about 2 years until his wife got tired if looking at it, and I
always liked 69s. So, I bought it back from bro Joe (methinks I never fully
paid him for it), and put it back together. It is now very respectable and
in full service. I was just thinking the other day that I should have taken
pictures on days like when I was using it to haul lumber in rain and snow,
or the day I had a whole pallet plus a few boxes of Pergo flooring in the

stripe delete car. Blue, White power top with Bench seats. M-22 Muncie 4 Speed. 
My dad and I pulled it out of a snow bank in Bluefield West Virginia. It was a 
basket case. We drove that car from West Virginia, through the mountains of 
Kentucky all the way home! I sat in the back yard for a couple of years until I 
sold it to a fellow named Hal Toms. Hal regularly sells Chevelles parts in 
Chevelle.Com.  Yes, I wished I still had that car. I think Hal parted it out 
and made enough to buy Christmas presents for his kids. This was back in 1985. 
My current car is a 1968 Chevelle SS396. I bought it out North Barrington Hills 
Chicago area. The guy I bought it from purchased it from Volo Musuem. It drove 
the car on a regular basis.

 I'm 52 1/2 years old, got the 68 SS in June of 2003 when I traded my 9 sec, 
 76 Nova for it.  I spend my time on it fixing the stuff that the previous

Kinda surprised to see so many 68 owners on the List. For too many
years,that year has kinda been looked down upon as the redheaded stepchild.
I think it's safe to say that train of thought is no longer as prevalent as
it once was.

Its all about desire and just how
much you want it. Get good grades and graduate from collage and youll
get your Chevelle. Believe me; everyone here has worked very hard to be
able to have the beautiful cars they have. Good luck and Ill be

The picture doesn't due justice, but it's the only one the NASH Car Club
had on put on their website.  My Dad is the 3rd owner.  Original owner was
the funeral home in Tomahwak, WI, sold to a local farmer, who used it on
his farm which is near our families vacation property.  At times it was
filled with corn cobs.  The rear suicide doors had been sprung past and
flattened out the rear fenders.  My Dad bought it in 1961 and spent the
next 1.5 years doing a complete frame off restoration promising the farmer
that he would not hot rod it -  the farmer had seen some of my Dad's
creations that were brought up to the families place to die a painful
death.  All body work was done with heat and body mallets.  40+ years 
later
it is still pristine and has been kept in a heated garage.  The last 20
years it's had it's own, enclosed, heated, dust proof, storage room in his
basement (indoor ramp connects garage to basement - I stole the same
concept).  It has some unique features for it's day - twin ignition, worm
gear rear end, safety glass, automatic chassis lubrication system.
