You must have a pretty big barn!

What are the plans for the wagon? Drop in the drivetrain from the El Camino, pull the exhaust/headers and wheels, give it a Maaco paint job and flip it for crate motor money?

I like those wheels for Camino project.

That's basically the plan, though some of the details may change.

And yeah, the barn is pretty big. But, I need to get some of the cars gone VERY soon.

Nice find! Aside from the R/F door, the body looks in fantastic shape. What are the specs on the drivetrain in this one?

Interesting thought - Would that rear bumper fit on a Camino and clear the tailgate hinges?

Yeah, the body is really good and the interior is even better (pics later)

No drivetrain in it now, it had a crate motor that the guy wanted for his truck.

You read my mind on the bumper: Yes, they are interchangeable.

That inside looks fantastic. There doesn't look to be a mini-Grand Canyon bisecting the dash. It's almost a shame to have to flip this. I wonder if it's feasible to swap the parts car bash, even though it's cracked, for this one and just dye it the color of your choice.

The parts car dash is the same color as this one and only has the one large crack. This one has a few smaller cracks, but neither of them is good enough to dye for the Camino.

Now Camino, you know, down deep in your heart of hearts, your mind is already thinking of all the possibilities for the wagon. You may as well give in, come on, you know it will feel good. Just go out in the barn and touch it, just once, and then tell me with a straight face that you haven't waited all your life to play this way.

Camino. 454, 900-ish cfm carb strapped to the top of it. T56 transmission swap, tub out the rear end.....you know, just add a little power. And you know you can't resist this. It IS the ultimate sleeper.

Well, I've all but decided to let it keep its headers and duals. They are in good shape, but a bit to ugly to put on the Camino.

No matter what eventually happens with the wagon, it will start out with the engine & trans from the Camino - and soon!
