The guy

As I have said, my friend has a guy on the west coast of the United States and he gave the guy's phone number to me and I send a WhatsApp chat with the guy. We talked about what I am looking for and laid up all my thoughts about my situation. I am still split between 1969 or 1970 El Camino, but I got a few pointers from the guy and since the price won't be that much of a deal for me at least. I am not going too much in detail what's commissions and such are, but a ball park figure is, depending how far from L.A. harbour is the El Camino, about $1500-2000.

Only bad part is that due the current world situations, pandemic and war in Ukraine, shipping time are extended from the normal time. The current estimate is from four months to six months. And maybe more. Depends on so many things. Which means that if I "bought" El Camino now, I might have a slight chance to drive it in this driving season before the first snow falls in the later this year.

Another thing is that I have used Craigslist as my search tool for the El Camino in the US, but the Guy sends me a link to Facebook marketplace near him and there are plenty of choices too. As much as I hate the Facebook and other social media, I am intrigued to search that marketplace since there are also available El Caminos for sale. eBay was also discussed, but it is mostly over priced vehicles for sale.


I think I am going to buy two El Caminos. One that I can drive and one that I can build the way I want it.

And I think I am leaning on getting 1969 El Camino to drive around and 1970 to build up, and maybe some day install that electric motor in it, that I've been thinking about.
