So, it has been a loooong time since I posted. Now I have been thinking of acquiring a El Camino again. The thing is that even thought I always wanted a 1970 El Camino, and I had that and I started this blog because of it, but now I am thinking of getting a 1969 El Camino. Now, this blog's title is 1970elcamino...
Should I keep title, and get the '69 or should I get the '70 and everything is a-okay. Then again, I have thought about getting my '70 back. Even thought I sold it as there was too much history with it, with my now ex wife. Time has passed and we are in good relations, me and ex. I still have the number for the guy who bought it from me four years ago.
Then again, "new" is new, but 3rd gen El Caminos are rarely for sell in here. I have a notification agent active in local national car sale website and currently there are few 3rd gen El Caminos for sale, but either the asking price is way too high or there is something wrong and the price is too high for the condition.
One option is always to buy one from the US and get it shipped here. Friend of mine has a connection in the Los Angeles area and we have talked about it. The guy in LA is Finnish and he scouts the possible cars for clients and takes pictures and videos and is very thorough about it. So you'll know what you are buying. The thing is of course it takes time to get it from the US to Finland. And even if it would be driveable, I couldn't drive it in this season.
The second problem is that where should I park it? I live in a row house and I have two parking spaces next to each other so I could park it there, but it's parking lot. No roof or any protection from the weather. I have been looking for a house with a big enough yard and that has a garage or I can build one. Where I live houses are quite cheap so that ain't a problem, but choices for living close to work, as I do have less than 5 min with bicycles, but no garage. Buy a house with a garage and it's going to be 10 km away from my work, so I had to travel most of the year by car.
Maybe I should start by buying that house first and then the El Camino?
