My dad had a 69 El Camino as well. 350 auto. He’d had it for years, the engine developed a knock, the paint was starting to go, had some rust. But, rather than selling it, he kept it for me to learn to drive in, the deal was no public roads, keep it only on the private gravel road and farm roads around our home. I had a blast in it, I was 14.
Yeah, I loved that Car. It had great lines, really sharp.
Can’t say that about many other Cars I’ve owned over the years, but I sure wish I still owned some of them.
The 70 Torino GT I had was a POS, but it had a 351 Cleveland with the Shaker Hood and a Four Speed. Those are worth big bucks today. Who woulda thunk it?
I always thought the 69 El Camino was the best looking of the 68-72 run. My Friend’s Dad had a sweet 64 with a 283.
The more I think of these things, the more depressed I’m getting. If I knew then... LOL
