Buying pants are on part 2

I was driving around in Tampere region and I remembered that there was a 1972 El Camino for sale in Sastamala. Even thought it wasn't the year I was looking for but I decided to take a look at it.

Colour is kind of blah, but you don't see that kind of colour in most of the El Caminos in the Finland. 

Reminds me of those stories where the car is painted what ever is left over. 

Price was at 9800€, a bit below average, what El Camino sell for in here.

Interior is in pretty good condition. 

Bed is in a good condition too. This use to have that tarp bed cover, as you can see from those fasteners. And old school style. I had those same in my 1972 El Camino. 

It is powered by a 305 CID small block engine and TH350. Power steering and -brakes. Headers and an old school  valve covers give a nice little touch on this combo.

By the time I wrote this, this has been sold. Or at least it's not listed anymore on nettiauto.com.

Oh, well, it was the wrong year anyways.

Buying pants are on part 1

In Finland we have saying, put your buying pants on. Which means that you are ready to buy stuff.

I've been looking at listings on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace and I come up with these two:

Yes, these were meant to be my project cars, that I can fix during those dark and cold winter days.

But as I thought about them more, might not be worth the time and effort to check it out. 

So, then I found out this:

Patina, yes. But front glass is broken. No photos of interior. Lot's of body rust and needs to be addressed. 

The Guy said that being 14 weeks old listing with that price, doesn't feel right. So I skipped it.

Then the Guy sends me this listing:

Okay, not bad at all in the first glance. But then I read the description and not currently running, but still have the original engine block. Well, that can mean a whole lot of deals, but since there aren't picture about engine bay. But even it is in nice condition on the exterior and interior, not functional with that $10k price tag. Yeah, there might be a chance to make an offer, but I'm not yet ready for this, even thought one of the best I've seen so far.

Okay, there was one really good 1970 El Camino available in Sweden, Blocket.se, but as I was talking about it with my friend, it was sold. Price was around 17k€( ~ $18k).

As the shipping takes from 4 months to 6 months, I am not getting it for this driving season, so I am not in a hurry to buy one that I can drive right away. Although I want one that I can fix and one that can be my daily driver.

I'll keep you posted!
