I need a 59 El Camino

Hello all. Im looking for a 59 Elky, prefably in Central Texas. Im looking for one with a 250 and 3 on the tree. Body condition really makes no difference, of course itd be nice if it werent a bucket, but I understand there will be some body work to be done. Price ranges form "get it out of my yard"- $1000. Thanks guys.

might try the classifieds

 

I did, but to no avail. Id also be open to any other 50 model cars. As you can tell i have a taste for the ugly ones. Im open to all opinons and offers. But deff want a 6 w/ manual.

 

And you want the one that someone swapped in a 250"?

(They came with 235"s)

(I think he want it just for the title....)

 

Well then a 235 i suppose, when did they begin putting in 250s?

 

this still isnt the classifieds, whether you've tried or not, thats where the buying and selling happens. not here. be like the rest of us and wait for something to turn up in the classifieds

 

just sold mine...try looking on ebay. There was around 6 of them on there at one time recently. oh ..and that is your opinion of course about them being ugly..though i know you love em.
Speak for yourself and not everyone

 

as hot as 59 elcos are getting you will be lucky to get a fucking bumper for $1000...

 

$0 - $1000, Good Luck!

I would say $1000 should be your startin' point.
Unless you have REALLY good hands/fabrication skills.

As far as the ugly comment,
I know you were just playin' round (I mean c'mon you wanna buy one)
but you gotta learn to phrase your "jokes" a little better.

I think the '59 Hell camino is the cats ass.

You might want to do a little more research on 'em too.
Sellers love an uninformed buyer.

Remember, a car is just a car and a truck is just a truck,
but an el camino is a way of life.

I was just about to say that.

We're building a '59 Elk for a customer. He had to have it shipped from some other state, and he paid alot of money for a car that is getting a full body off resto/custom job.

'59's are like gold for some reason. Just like duece coupes and mercurys...everyone wants them...and they're willing to pay big bucks for them.

Try finding a '60. They look cool, easier to find, and cheaper.

 

I found one in bellmead,tx, bought it yesterday. 400 bucks with title. Ill have pics of it up next week when i go to pick it up. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I should have used the classifieds for this one and furthermore explained that i love 59s(and me jokeingly calling them ugly). Aidos.

 

You find any more at that price let me know.... I think Ive got $3500 into mine, got it out of state, and the 350 smokes like a chimney.....

 

Here are some pics of alky's new elky as it sits waiting for us to dig it out

 

Oh she's so hot, thanks for sending me thoughs pics.

 

With the open windows and the abundance of plant life around it, looks like you'll have the top half of an ekly. Good luck with the new project and floor replacement. I hate rust.
