friends,foes,fellows,,fiends,followers,,post your pics .

 

i had a bunch but my computer took a **** a week or so ago and i lost EVERYTHING.....it ****s. i had been putting off dropping all my pics to disc for a long time as i had to many on here. now i got nothing.

back to the topic is there such a thing as an "unkool" 59 or 60 elky? one of my favorite cars of all time. i'll own one someday but other **** is taking my money for now.

btt for the **** man...ken....

 

funny you bring this up. i was looking for el caminos last night. i typed in the search 59 el caminos in the cl***ifieds section and it came back with a lot of them check it out.

here's my buddy's El Co..... the other one was at the second annual Hamb.b.q.

 

I sold it to Lucky1974 in Minnesota- rumor has it its getting close to pimpville and getting a 4 speed...

spent the cash on finishing the shop- see the pile of lumber behind the camino?

thanks for pics DOODS!


whats really weird is that today i started a new position at work today and i have to travel....well i was on this route and spotted a 1959 elcamino ,also for sale,,,it had some surface rust , but looked good??? i couldnt stop since i was with the dood im replacing,,so maybe next week i will get a chance again,,,

 

You kill me holmes....

 

Pic stolen from the HAMB....

 

--- nothing special - but this one I built without the big money - just shaved, skinny whites,springs cutted, buick gril bar and a little metallflake

 

well not a '60 but I like the look...

 

That black one with the discs is thee baddest elko ever!!!!!!!

 

I love that 1st pic

 

1960 was 2nd year of first generation El Co's. Based on the Impala frame/running gear. Only 14,163 made.(2nd lowest production year for all El Camino's). Toyota made more cars than that in one day. Production stopped in 60 and restarted in 64.

 

A Guy's near me it's bagged:

 

thanks, my buddy bought that ElCo at night and 2 hrs from home. when he finally got it home. it winded up being a rust bucket. rust everywhere. so he did a frame off, airbags all around, rechromed everypiece of trim, rebuilt the inline 6 and 3 speed O/D trans, rear end, replaced the floor boards, 1/4's etc. etc. that El CO is amazing. he bought every piece of rubber and weatherstripping too. nothing squeaks or rattles. heavy duty sway bar front and back. corners like a damn sports car.

hes just waiting to get the body work done so he can put all the chrome back on.

 

my ole beater.......serves me well since '92..............(sadly in the same shape as in '95).

oh, wait i just re-read the post......you wanted cool..............on a side note back then people thought the moons were old plates or pans.

i've had 2 60's and 1 '59 and they rust in a few places. 1 is the back window lower channel (if it gets real bad it will take the shelf with it), 2 is under the bed grate in the well, 3 is behind the stainless on the roof above the doors.

 

I never knew that elcaminos could be that cool.

 

Yeah I'm with you on that one Stone they somehow look tougher than 59's

 

Where'd I go wrong?!

 

Maybe not real cool looking for now, but it's my daily driver. I am putting Astro Supremes on it this weekend. One of the best looking wheels for 59-60 El Camino's. Cut springs to get the at***ude right.

 

jeem,,you know i LOVE your 65 rendering!!! i want to bild that car so bad,,,but i cant find any 64-65 around here!!!!

and my old 60 el camino, that I sold to Skratch..I think it's in Texas now..was on ebay a while ago and didn't sell...

 

Got a buddy with a '60. It's white w/flat black trim and a 500 inch Caddy. Burnouts from here to Mo-Kan!

 

From germany:

 

One of the best, Charles Swordson's ´60 Camino from Sweden:
