  • Barry's looking for a new challenge and as far as he's concerned, there's only one choice - an El Camino. His newest fabricator, Bobby, has an emotional attachment to the El Camino; his dad gave him a '69 when he was a teenager. Although not Bobby's car, Barry's '70 El Camino wreck tugs at Bobby's heart.
    He's helping rebuild this one for his dad, who'll be 'looking over his shoulder' as fiercely as his boss. Barry's money and Bobby's family ties are at stake - and they only have four weeks to get the car ready for auction.

    What a sweet ride. Love those cars. I had a 70 EC that I did a body on restoration. It was very nice but nothing close to that. Some drunk towing a trailer side swiped it. It was fixable but before the carnage, it was a very strait, no Bondo car. I just couldn't love it anymore.

  • @stevesolo16
    @stevesolo16 Před 7 lety +13

    Although my favorite year El Camino is the 1967, I'll have to say the 70 is a close 2nd. BTW, a well built engine with a stroker motor of that size should make more power than the 550hp. When the heads were tossed on without taking ANY measurements, it makes me wonder where the big bucks he spent on the motor went to? When I build a motor, the motor is assembled and disassembled at least 3 times to put the fitment right and record the clearances. My 496 naturally aspirated with 10.5:1 compression on 91 octane pump gas made 712hp with 651 ft.lbs of torque.It's the little things and knowing the correct mathematics for the parts you are using that makes the money you spend on the motor , worth it.
    I'm from Corona, Ca and had a business on the same street as theirs.LOL

    Deja Vu....1/20/1970 brought home my new El Camino, 300 HP, 4speed, bench seat, vinyl roof, Moss Green but that was the good part. It must have built on a Friday or a Monday because it needed to back to dealer for paint in the bed, oil in the gearbox and restore the fuse link to get it to run again. All this in the first five months. Sold it in May to fresh college architecture grad.

      Chevrolet called it a "coupé utility vehicle" though it is classified as a truck by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), since the latter class doesn't exist. Strangely, the Ford Ranchero - which the El Camino was competing with - was classified as a car. They're both based on a 2-door station wagon platform.
      The chances are, the car's class designation came down to one person at the DMV whom didn't know any better and permanently classed it a truck based on the fact that it had a bed in the back.
