This is a very solid 1978 Chevrolet El Camino project car. I originally bought the car with a blown engine and intentions of building it with and for my son. As frequently happens with these things, plans and priorities have changed, and I no longer have time to devote to this car. It is now time for it to find another home with someone who can bring it to its full potential. The photos show this car in its current condition, so please do not plan to drive it home. I have many of the original parts and pieces needed to finish this project. Anyone who knows these cars know that they are becoming very sought-after and are hard to find in this condition. The body is overall in excellent condition and is very solid. There is some minor rust in the floor, which I believe is very repairable. The remainder of the car is rock solid. Body prep has been started on the drivers side and new floor mounts for a 60/40 split bench seat were welded in. These mounts will also work if you choose to install a bucket seat set-up. I have installed a full 2" drop suspension from Summit Racing, with new springs and shocks on the rear, and new drop spindles on the front. I have also purchased a new AMD 2" cowl-induction hood from Summit Racing. Interior components are all there, but many of the soft components (door panels, etc.) will need to be replaced. Carpet and headliner are long gone. I have a nice split bench seat bought to replace the original one-piece bench, in very good condition. All other original components have been saved and go with the car. You can decide what to replace and what to keep. There is no motor or transmission. While I love these unique vehicles and would like to see this one through to completion, reality is that it is time for it to go. I no longer have the time to put into it, and it is taking up valuable garage space. I have set a very reasonable reserve and am open to any reasonable offer. Please, no trades. I already have more cars than I have space for and am not interested in your boat, motorcycle, shot-gun, washing machine, mother-in-law or whatever else you would like to get rid of ;-) Buyer must contact me by email within 24 hours to arrange final payment and pickup. I am willing to assist with delivery within a reasonable distance from Savannah, GA for the right deal. Let me know up front.

Car has been off the road and unregistered for several years.On Jun-20-15 at 12:48:34 PDT, seller added the following information: I have had several questions about the extent of rust on the floors. The primary area of rust-though is on the passenger side floor, in front of the cross brace, about the size of a baseball. There are several other holes in the floor near the transmission tunnel where someone had mounted a CB radio or audio equipment. These are clean holes, about 1/8" diameter, and easily welded shut. There were two other minor rust area which have been repairs. An area about 2-3" across in front of the drivers rear wheel arch, and a small area under the drivers side rear quarter window were both cut out and had new metal welded in. The brown paint shown on the passenger side and rear of the car is original. There are no areas of bondo on this car other than where I have blended in the patches just mentioned or where molding mounts were removed from the sides.
