![]() ![]() Although the right knee hasn’t worked completely right since that sledding incident back in ’99, that could be when this took a hit as well. I do lie on my right side when sleeping, if on a rough surface perhaps it’d look like that when I woke up too but mine just springs back into shape, for the most part at least. Mine shows a little more though while the Chevy still casts the same shadow it always did. Same here and it gets more difficult every year not to add a little more. Looking through the handy window shows that the Elky is carrying a little more weight than it rolled off the line with. I guess here the back end can be opened up too via a top and bottom piece. ![]() Come to think of it, there’s something far worse but perfectly natural, just like opinions everyone has one. There are a couple of others scattered about as well, although I don’t have the open sore that this has behind its wheel (knee?). I’ve got a couple of scars, most notably the one on my knee at about the height of this one back here, mine came via a motorcycle accident. ![]() Not sure if I want E-codes like Hugo Boss or Yves Saint Laurent or if the domestic choices will be good enough. The eyes are still mostly okay, although this one has wisely adopted some now fashionable dark frames (wait, it’s black on one side and red on the other, a fashion faux pas!) and perhaps new lenses, something I should think about as well, it’s getting a bit harder to see at night. As the El Camino’s is though does probably make it easier to suck in the bugs if that’s one’s thing. It’d cost far less to make this one perfect in that regard than it did my parents for mine. The grille, well, I’ve had work done on mine as a teen although it’s still not all straight but at least it’s there. I’ve also never had to repair or replace my nose although it is a bit larger than many others I see, just like this one here. On the plus side I’ve retained my original pigmentation all over otherwise and while it occasionally peels a bit it’s pretty much the same shade and gloss level as it ever was. Like the Elky’s roof paint, my top covering has thinned to an appreciable degree as well, mainly in the back for me, and if left uncovered also develops a bit of a burn like this one has. Looking at the externalities, up top neither of us is wearing our full and complete original covering. I hope to not have to run poorly for as long as a Chevy engine can run that way, but I suppose running at all would still be far better than the alternative. But with a little bit of warmup time in my case primed with a shot of caffeine (goose of the throttle?) it then runs pretty smoothly for the rest of the day. I don’t have a badge on my side, just a mole or two, and my ticker (hopefully) isn’t that large, but if this one’s is as original as mine then it still starts every morning, but perhaps not with the same gusto it once had. What other things might we have in common?įor starters that’s a little 350 badge on the fender there, which is 5.7 liters in the German vernacular to which I was born. There’s every chance that this little (mostly) red devil is the exact same age as me. Later I realized that since my own official build date is October of 1969, if I were a Chevy El Camino I’d be a 1970 model as well. My initial thought that was wow, it’s a year younger than me but still coming to the market to which this lot belongs. This includes barn finds for sale, muscle cars for sale, vans for sale, station wagons for sale, trucks for sale and other affordable old cars for sale.The other day in the local parking lot that keeps on giving I stumbled upon this interestingly patinated 1970 El Camino.
