Chevrolet El Camino

Images of car looked good in ad but were very deceiving. Seller either is not a car guy or is a total fraud. Many serious problems undisclosed or overlooked. Completely misrepresented condition of car. Told me to take it up w/Ebay! Sure. I have purchased hundreds of items from Ebay and MOST have been good deals. Some have been exceptional. However, these auctions are like going to Las Vegas- Never spend more money than you can afford to lose! Unless an item is actually new, you have to take the seller's word for it's condition. The term 'used' can cover a lot of ground and it's true that 'one man's trash is another man's treasure'. It works both ways here. I don't want to think the seller of this El Camino was intentionally attempting to screw someone when he listed the car, but there are problems on this car that a blind person could see, had he been there. I live 500 miles from where the car was sold and I should have spent some time and money on a trip to personally inspect the car before I bid but I trusted the seller.So, I have a lot of space left to continue writing but I'm afraid that all I would do is complain. Well. I paid enough that I have the right to do that. Let my experience be a lesson to you and me. Never assume anything about an Ebay auction unless you have seen the item first. Feedback doesn't always mean you are dealing with an honest seller, especially when a lot of money is changing hands. There, I've said my piece, now remember--Buyer beware!

These 5th generation El caminos should only appreciate in value and they are a fun car to drive, Cheap and easy to maintain.

I've yet to receive the item i paid in full for on 09/09/2008, in the amount of 3,500.00 from simtech8, who has done this to ebayers, camarojones and 1970man. For a DETAILED ACCOUNT, SEE THE DISPUTE CONSOLE SECTION FOR THIS ITEM.Simtech8,Donnie Graham of 420 South Grady Street, Altus, Oklahoma,73521.

everythings great i like the body shape ............great car .............305 engine good on fuel and good power .........love that there's noo rust......is hard to find these car in great shape in canada that why traveled to la......to pick up the car .......

I wanted a '73 el Camino like the one I had in college. It is a nice looking truck, you can haul stuff and it turns heads. In the words of NECOA "Interesting people drive interesting cars"

The 4th generation, 1973 to 1977, is one of the least popular el Caminos. They came with big bodies, lots of options and very 70's details like the wood grain side panels, lots of body moldings and two tone paint. I love 'em. (except the vinyl wood grain) They have classic rust spots, behind the rear wheels, behind the front wheels, in front of the rear wheels, heck the whole bottom half. Repair panels are available. Many parts are interchangeable with other GM vehicles of the same time frame.

If you plan on buying an older vehicle, look at it!!! I is worth a plane ticket or a drive or a third party inspection. The seller may not even know of all the problems or goodies. A $200 inspection can save you a $2000 mistake. The price between a 350 and a 305 will pay for the inspection.

For a daily driver go for the smaller engine. If you just show it or play on the weekends, go for the muscle and screw the gas prices. Restoration costs money and takes time and space. If you don't have all three then buy a done deal that somebody needs to sell. Don't buy a project that will just sit and depreciate.

Good luck, good day and happy driving.

Owned a 1970 El Camino previously, had been looking to purchase another. Found this one on EBay and it was just what I had been looking for. Love the car, will continue to treat the car with TLC it has already received and it will be a great car!!

IT SHOULD HAVE BIN A PARTS CAR. IT SMOKES SO BAD I WOULD HAVE BIN STOPED. THE TRANS WAS SO LOW IT WOUD NOT MOVE. LEYS GUST SAY IT IS CRAP. IT WAS SAID TO BE A RUNNER. IT COULDN'T WALK VERY FAR. WILL NOT BUY FROM AGAIN .

The car was accurately and completely described correctly and I was impressed with the vehicle when I received it. I love this car!!!The dealer was very professional and worked with us in all aspects of the purchase. I would recommend this seller to all my friends. Thanks

it was not in the condition the owner made it to be in. It has a lot of rust.I decided to buy it because i always wanted a 1969 SS El Camino. I thought i was getting a good car for the price but it was faulsely advertised. Its going to cost me more to fix and replace all the rust then what the vehicle was worth.
