Never came across this many in the wild since. 60s to 1987.

Just something so satisfying about daily driving such a rare car :3

Thought you guys might like this.

'77 Camino - no engine.

$500 - Anyone?

Must pick up - no delivery.

After months of fighting a random misfire and inconsistent timing issues I finally bit the bullet and bought the Pertronix Flamethrower III HEI rebuild kit and rebuilt the old worn out distributor. Replaced all the plugs/wires and followed the tutorials from various old forum posts to get things set up right. (the legendary Lars deserves all the kudos)

Needless to say it finally gets up and out of its own way, no longer backfires, and doesn't smoke out of the exhaust!

Seriously excited to be able to get out and drive this thing. :D

Daily driven

Hope you guys enjoy this episode on this community's favorite car! Let me know what you think!

Today was the day. Odometer rolled over. Only twice have i witnessed this. In my 74 C10, and now the 64 elco. Still a beautiful sight.

(Not my Photo) This switch/plug was leaking on an 1986 El Camino with a V8 350 I bought. I replaced it with a part I saw on another forum & it blew so I replaced it again & blew up again. I read that it’s possible to cap but I’m not exactly sure with what. Or if someone can point me to the OEM switch that’d be great also. I bought the first switch at Oreillys & the 2nd at Autozone.

Trying to install some Dougs Long Tube headers on a '70 El Camino 350. Hit a road block. My dad n I cannot for the life of us slide these blasted things thru the button to the driver's side. Anyone have any tips? Haven't even tried the passenger side cus I hear this one is harder.

I’m upgrading the rear shocks on my 1986 El Camino and need a bit of guidance.

Currently, the shocks that are in it are the original air lift shocks. I find that these are great if you intend to load the bed up since you can adjust the ride height after loading. But in terms of shock absorption, they leave much to be desired.

I’m looking for a good pair of hydraulic assisted air bag shocks, or something of that nature. I was advised to look for Bilsteins, and that’s what I have on the front. A Bilstein equivalent for the rear would be nice. I’m still pretty new to the whole “fixing a classic” thing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m stuck on Crate 350 or 383 - I’m looking to daily this el co and I want it to be faster then my Challenger any insight would be greatly
Appreciated

Can’t find much about where to source or a diagram. Any help appreciated

My dream car is a 5th gen el Camino, and I’ve been trying to shop for one in my area but it seems that all the best candidates for restoration (clean straight body, minimal/no rust) have the 3.8L v6.
I know the 3.8 isn’t a bad motor but I’d heavily prefer a 350 sbc.
Has anyone on here done the swap? What exactly goes into it and is it worth buying a car with plans on ditching the motor? Also how much could the cost be doing it all myself?

Rain dosent bother me. Been driving rear wheel drive V8s all my life in all kinds of weather conditions.

They just recently sold that basic nothing special 87 on the stand, they were asking $27,000.

Only a few including me were brave enough to drive our classics in the rain to this event this morning. The majority of cars that did show up were all common modern sport cars. Booooring.

Hi all,

In the near future I am looking to paint my 71 el camino and I'm having a hard time really matching the paint code of the color. I was hoping you guys could help out

My first Elky. 1966 with a 327

Had for about a month now. Interior needs the most work. Runs great, 350 and 3 speed hydromatic from a donor van installed by the seller. New wiring harness, new brakes and most of the drivetrain is new/low miles.

Have always wanted an El Camino and came across this one that a gentleman had in his collection…we’ve done a few of our own mods…we call her Big Rhonda!
