el camino guys!!! need help.

a friend of mine offered me a free 1971 elco ss 454. i haven't seen it yet, but i know its complete, been sitting for a while outside and was running when parked.

you think its worth it to clean up and sell? what r they worth?

i'm not really into elcos but free is free....

 

You want to know if a '71 big block SS is worth taking for free? Why cant I run across something like this?

 

If its real (get the build plate data and decode it) and not rotted out, its definitely worth the effort

 

ok so... what r they worth if its a beater and if its hooked up. i saw some going for around 20k?

 

condition, condition, condition.....really hard to say without a lot of detailed pics/description, but that's a subject for another forum

 

i know, gotta check it out. i'll get some pics and get back to ya guys. thanks for the help.

 

If somebody offers you a bucket full of shit for free you should take it.... Because you can always use a bucket.

 

H.A.M.B. ?

p.s. only take it if your capable of growing a mullet.

 

if he's asking he already has one.

 

I'd drive from Gettysburg to Fresno to get it! Usually they are worth 20% less than a comparable Chevelle. This may be an exception if it's a real SS, and a #s matching 454 car has gotta be worth a lot. Floors? Quarters? 4 speed? Interior color? Pix?

Most of the time anything free is worth it.

 

They built a million of um! it aint worth shit...better send it over to me and I'll get rid of it for ya!!

 

To off topic for me to know ......

 

Your kidding right? A free car with a big block chevy in it. Better grab it fast before someone else finds out about it. If I was close by you would find it gone in a Chevrolet heart beat!!!

 

Being a Mopar man, even i would snatch it up the minute he said come get it! that ain't nothing but a $$$$ maker.

 

MMmmmmmmmm El Caminos! you hafta have it! your not into elcos now but you will be!!
they make GREAT parts haulers ive had over a dozen of em. hauled alot of early ford coupe bodies home in a 70 SS 396.

 

I call bullshit. Any car person would know what to do, get a free possibly running car.

 

that makes sense to me as well.


if ya aiint bs'n take it, they will bring 5gs in crap shape and 15+ when done up

ive restored many...prefer the 66. and the '70, but a 71 is a great driver, and still sought after

skull

 

Way to hell and gone more then 15K when done exactly right around here. But the Chevelle/Elkie prices have been nuts around here for a while.

Fixed up right it would be a hell of a nice tow rig for the right drag car.

This smells a lot more like a "look what I found, what's it worth" thread than a real should I go get it thread.

Who cares, you have a chance to get a FREE bigblock car. It is is rough, part it out and keep the motor for future reference.

 

I,d be on it like fly,s on shit. I want one for a parts chaser/hauler.

 

If it's a Factory BB,you don't want it
Nothing but problems,and it's the "Official" Joe Dirt vehicle.
If it runs,I'll give you $500 for it

 

You can't be serious - you are either bragging that you could get an Elky for free or are fishing for "How much can I make on this thing"

 

elcaminos - its a car in the front , and a truck in the rear
its for kissin in the front and fuckin in the rear

 

it ain't worth much! just tell me where its at and i'll drag it home. no need to worry with it! YOU ARE JOKING ,RIGHT!!!!!!!

 

74' aint the best lookin year but free is free....

 

only if it has the swivel beer keg buckets.

 

tats a 71 he's talkin about.........

 

If someone has a 74 ss 454 4spd elco it is worth more than the 71, a lot less production numbers and the last year for the 454.
