What goes around comes around

 So, I have this alert on this Finnish Nettiauto.com which alerts, once a week if there are any new or if some listing has something changed. As I opened the link in the email, there was this black with blue flames 1972 El Camino. 

I had a vague memory that it had been for sale some time ago. And then I noticed it license plate and that rang the bell, but nobody answered. I couldn't remember why, that rings a bell, but as I posted that listing to my childhood friend whatsup-group, one friend remembered why that rings a bell. It was his previously owned El Camino. He had sold it back in 1995. And that El Camino was pristine condition. Now it has a kind of let go.


After a while friend shouted out that buy buy buy! But it's the wrong year. Although the price is kind of "right".

Back on the 1970 El Camino

 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?

New year and new thoughts

 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"
