  • In this video, I'll show you a 1972 Chevy El Camino with some pretty expensive repairs needed. But the question is, can this classic be saved?? I'll try to give her a start and see if the ole' gal wants to get back on the road. Then I'll show you a 2013 Mazda Speed 3 with a little damage. Finally a 2017 Jaguar F-Pace with some bolt-on parts needed. This wouldn't be too extensive to fix!

    The missing trim is in the truck bed of the el amino. The time clock does not work. Tail light is available as is the old school steering wheel,new or used. Hood springs available,buy new or used. Have a body shop do the rear. The car won’t go cheap.

    Hey Mike, I just got done watching a copper walk around. I loved that Montecarlo I think you need to get that truck that red one that you looked at did I just called a Monte Carlo? It’s a El Camino it is not at Monte Carlo the alchemy. No I meant that. I think the truck looks pretty cool. I think you need to try to get it and put it on your journal. I hope you decide to get it and put it on your channel that would be awesome. I guess I’ll talk to you soon and I can’t wait to watch your next video. I hope you have a wonderful day.

    The El Camino is a good opportunity to import into the EU. Ordinary American cars with a v8 engine fall into the luxury tax category due to the large displacement of the engine, plus a large environmental tax is paid, so the Mustang is twice as expensive to import. The El Camino is a commercial vehicle and none of that is pays, but has the same performance...

    Doubt that the ElCamino is a true SS. The firewall has been redone. The motor is a small block, likely a 350 if it is a 72 motor. The red wire should have been for the electric choke, which was why it was hard to start and keep running.
