Okay, I was just browsing, casually, Craigslist and I came across this:
And... Now I am certain that I need it. Like badly.
I have a guy, that has a guy, that lives in California and he goes and checks out cars for people that aren't living in the States. So, should I call my guy, to call his guy and check this out?
Okay, I haven't really been active in my search for my next El Camino, but there are decisions that I might turn over. As I look at the listings, what is available for sale and what is the price, I am becoming hesitant with my 1969 decision.
I mean there are really great ones available, but are they the right one for me?
Some are there for quite a while and some aren't. There was this 1969 El Camino that had a camper shell with it too, and I thought about it for awhile, but the price was just a bit out of my range.
And then you find this:
Not a bad price at all. And it's the dream car, 1970 El Camino.
Sometimes I wish there would be for sale in Finland a 1970 model, that is in the same condition as this one, because then the price wouldn't be that high.
But as the year changes to a new one, we are heading for the spring, which means that the price of the available cars are going to rise.
So, should I pass buying one for now, till next the autumn?
Regardless how I ponder about this, I will keep you posted in development and I wish you Great New Year"
I had this thought of making an electric El Camino and now that I am in the hunt for my next El Camino, I have toyed an all electric El Camino. I have skimmed a bit of this and that websites about making your own electric or converting your gasoline burner into a green machine.
Now in this years Sema show Ford has unveiled all-electric f-100 Eluminator concept with new EV Crate motor for customers to buy.
Oh, that would be awesome! And it's reasonable priced $3,900! But... it's a Ford. I can't make that kind of sacrilegious mistake. But then again, GM hasn't yet announced anything similar, and there will be something similar, I can guarantee it. As people are getting more into Electric Vehicles it's just a matter of time, when Big Auto Companies will follow Ford's path and sell all electric engines that you can install in your beloved Vintage car!

Okay, now this is getting too good. I mean, when I started writing this post I had just found out that Ford has unveiled all-electric F-100 Eluminator concept with new EV Crate motor for gearheads to buy and install it in their Vintage car and just as I was about to post this I learned that Chevrolet debuts concept aftermarket EV battery pack. I mean what else do I need to build my dream EV Camino?
Update:
Actually Chevrolet had announced it's own all-electric crate motor for homebuilt EV hotrods last year.
Now, I should have researched more this thing before posting.
