YouTube Channel

 I've had this YouTube channel for ages and I did try to post my project videos, of the El Camino that owned back then. Now that I am the owner of a "new" El Camino, I thought that I resurrect this channel and try to keep it active. 


Now, I've got videos from my guy in the California about these two El Caminos that I wrote earlier, first one and the second one.


I bought the first one. The seller transported it from the Nevada to Los Angels, as he has some business to attend there. So, my El Camino is waiting at the shipping company's lot in LA harbour somewhere.



But back to the YouTube channel, I am publishing few short videos in a Bying Pants On-playlist from my guy as he scouted the El Caminos and after it was transported to the shipping company's lot in the LA harbour. 


Current ETA is around mid September, that the shipping container will arrive Finland and shipping company's lot in Hämeenlinna. 


Actually I did purchase the El Camino back in the May, but as I was busy with buying a house with garage did take my time and while being on vacation too. 

Please subscribe, if you like to keep up with the project!

Buying pants are on part 4

 So, this is the other El Camino at the lot in Nevada.


Also 1970 model year, but missing some parts.


Well, basically whole front end is backed in the bed, but at least hood is missing and the engine.


Some parts are in the bed, but still this might be too much work to get road worthy.


This is also "true SS 396" El Camino, but this doesn't have the title, the seller is waiting it to arrive from DMW.


Asking price is $5000, but still for in this condition, even if it is "true SS", it might be too much. For me anyways.


Bench seat, but round gauges is a good sign. 


Power windows! Well, that made this, as an interesting subject. Okay, the interior is a bit better condition in this one than the other one, but exterior is a bit more work in this one. I'm told that the seller made an offer $10,000 for both.

I don't really know. Both needs work, but I could get the other as spare parts car.

Although there is a 1971 El Camino for sale in Finland that is a project, just needs put together. For 4500€.

Now, I need to check that out, not as get that in driving condition, since it is 1971 model year, but if I could use it as a parts car for one of these?

I guess I need to take a road trip to check out that 1971 El Camino.
