: 69 SS elcamino
Silverblue Apr 25th, 07, 10:38 PM I was talking with our fleet mechanic today and learned that he has a 1969 SS Numbers matching elcamino that will be up for sale in the near future. He had it there in the shop so I got to see it first hand. It's all original with a repaint, hugger orange, code 72 on the cowl tag, 4 speed, vinyl black top,AC, power brakes, power steering,Bench seat, black interior,he's currently rebuilding the motor, engine numbers are all correct I checked. What kind of price will this thing bring? it appears to be rust free and straight :cool:

Silverblue Apr 26th, 07, 7:56 PM Does the hugger orange with the paint code 72 on the cowl tag ad more value to in this case a 69 SS original elcamino ? the seller feels it does and believes the car is quite rare. If it were a Chevelle I know the answer but I'm sure about elcaminos. thks
RAMBO Apr 26th, 07, 8:43 PM I don't think it makes it any more rare- it just is an SS only color, which proves that it was a true SS car without needing a build sheet, etc to back up the claim. Not worth any more than any other SS Elky of the same condition and options.
Chris R Apr 27th, 07, 3:06 AM I posted about a 69 code 72, El Camino on ebay about a month ago. Looked like a nice car. It sold for 15k.

Yes, I'd say a code 72 orange El Camino is quite rare.
You could probably take the extrapolated figure for 69 SS El Camino production and then figure about 1-2% of those may have been orange.
Personally, I've never seen one. Gotta be a rare animal.

Couldn't be worth any more than a 454 SP Sprint. :D :D :D

Well, we all know about those Sprints. They're only worth about half as much, right :D

Actually, i have seen one- I missed buying it by 2 weeks (i bought another car before i got a chance to see it)... It was a few years back before i knew the significance of Yellow or Orange 69's. I thought it was ugly and checked the body tag and sure enough- coded original for orange.
Who would have known that 10 years later, i'd have an Orange 68?
