One of the guys in the El Camino club had a El Camino with a perfect show quality black paint job. I bet he had 20 grand in that paint job. He had a Grand National Turbocharged 6 Cylinder engine in it making some insane HP. With the race slicks he could do a 10.5 second 1/4 mile. With no doubt it was the nicest one in the group.
I miss those guys. Several key members either died or worse yet, got dementia and were institutionalized. The guy with the super nice Elky had to sell it for a horrible loss when his wife had some bad money issues. The guy that started the club used to live across the street from me. He fell in love with my Elky and got one of his own. He eventually got remarried after his first wife died. He lost interest in the Elky so he sold it.
29 years later, I still just drive mine. I will do a second carpet replacement soon. I need to figure out the chrome tape accents on the door panel. I can't get them to stick. Complete door panels are available, but I am not going that route.
