Vehicle Detail

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A 1973 EL CAMINO. THIS IS A FACTORY 454 CAR. IT IS A PROJECT AND ALTHOUGH IT RUNS GOOD, IT NEEDS A FUEL TANK AND SOME BRAKE WORK AND MORE DEPENDING ON HOW NICE YOU WANT IT TO BE. THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING CAR AS IT IS DOCUMENTED IN THE VIN NUMBER AS BEING A 454. THERE WERE 3 454 ENGINES AVAILABLE IN 1973, THIS IS ONE UP FROM THE BASE 454 ENGINE. THE CAR APPEARS TO BE VERY ORIGINAL UNDER THE HOOD WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN AFTER MARKET AIR CLEANER, DUAL EXHAUST AND CORVETTE RALLY WHEELS. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR APPEARS TO BE VERY ORIGINAL, NICE HEAD LINER AND VISORS, THE RUG IS FADED, THE SEAT IS GOOD, STOCK RADIO, THERE ARE SOME CRACKS IN THE DASH BUT OVERALL, DECENT DRIVER QUALITY. THERE IS SOME INTERESTING PAPERWORK WITH THE CAR, I HAVE TAKEN A PICTURE OF WHAT I HAVE. THERE IS A RECIEPT FROM 1974, IT APPEARS THE PREVIOUS OWNER BOUGHT THE CAR IN 1974 AND OWNED IT UP UNTIL 2011. SO, SAME OWNER FOR 37 YEARS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AS THIS CAR MAY HAVE SAT ON THE LOT AS A DEMO AND WAS SOLD THE NEXT PHYSICAL YEAR. HE TRADED IN A 1968 PONTIAC CATALINA 4DR AS SHOWN ON THE BUYERS ORDER FROM 1974. THE OPTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS: EL CAMINO 454 LS4 TURBO 400 TRANS POWER STEERING POWER DISC BRAKES POWER LOCKS TILT WHEEL DUAL EXHAUST THE CAR HAS NO FUEL TANK IN IT NOW, IT IS RUNNING ON A PLASTIC GAS CAN AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. IT RUNS VERY WELL, AS I BELIEVE THE MILES ARE 85,000 REAL. I CAN'T DOCUMENT IT AS THE TITLE SHOWS EXEMPT WHICH IS VERY COMMON ONCE A CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD IN MY STATE. THE CAR HAS A CLEAN FLORIDA TITLE. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE CAR. IT DOES HAVE RUST ISSUES. THE FRAME APPEARS SOLID WITH SCALE RUST IN THE BACK. THE BED OVERALL IS DECENT WITH SOME RUST SHOWN, OVERALL THE FRONT CAP IS NICE, THE TAILGATE IS VERY NICE WITH NO RUST AT ALL, THE DOOR JAMBS WILL NEED RUST REPAIR, THE FLOOR LOOKS DECENT, THE FIREWALL IS GOOD, THE DOORS HAVE RUST ON THE BOTTOM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED IN MY OPINION. THIS CAR COULD BE A DAILY DRIVER WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF WORK OR RESTORE IT, IT'S UP TO YOU DEPENDS ON HOW NICE YOU WANT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES ALL SALES ARE FINAL SO, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK ME BEFORE YOU BID. 239 645 2382 PLEASE REMEMBER BUYER IS FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING AND/OR COLLECTION OF THIS VEHICLE. I WILL HELP WHERE POSSIBLE.
