hi i just bought a triple black 70 ss el camino with build sheet. has factory tach, original transmission and rear end its missing the original 396 engine. it has a good running 327 right now. someone repainted it silver and the paint is peeling. it has a little rust in the floors and a couple small spots of rust in the quarters. has a cowl induction hood and factory a/c as well. will post pictures as soon as i can. i think i got a good deal at $3200.
