1969 Big Block El Camino - Sacramento, CA
 

Item Location (City/State): Sacramento, CA

Price:10,000

Description:Selling my 1969 big block Chevy el Camino. She was daily driven for years, has been in the family since 88 or 89. My wife and I are expecting our first child and I won't have time to play with this car in the near future. It's time for her to move on to the next home.

This is an original V8 California car, built in Fremont. I have the original Protec-to-plate. You could turn it into an SS clone pretty easily as there is no VIN designation for '69. I don't like lots of badges so I didn't bother.

VIN is 136809z327344
Decodes as:
1 = Chevrolet
36 = Custom El Camino V8, Curb wt. 3454 Note: Custom may be equipped with " SS " Equip
80 = 2dr Sedan Pick-up

Z = Fremont, CA

Was an AC car and I still have the brackets.

Was originally green with a canvas top. Repainted by Jim's Autobody in Concord in aprox 1994. They took it down to metal. Still looks pretty good.

Needs some TLC, little things here and there. I have a random assortment of spares and accessories.

Known small issues:
- Wiring issue that I have not had the time to track down - the car doesn't turn over with the key, it's probably the neutral safety switch. It started doing this about four months ago. I use a handheld starter switch and plug it in under the hood. It hasn't really bothered me because it's less likely to be stolen.

- On my way back from the Goodguys show in Pleasanton she started misting some oil under the hood. I think it's the valley gasket. If I have a chance to fix it then I will, but I have set the price based on this detail.

- Needs a driver side inner door panel, can't seem to find the right color of 'saddle' 45 years later.

Please call or send me an email as I can't check the forum as often as I would like. Not interested in trades. Thanks for looking!
