1965 Chevrolet El Camino Project - LOTS of EXTRAS
1965 Chevrolet El Camino Base Standard Cab Pickup 2-Door Description
Hello Folks!
Here is a great project with tons of extras that come with the car.
I bought this 65 El Camino for parts at first. After taking a closer look at everything...its much easier to build the El Camino.
The body parts on my wrecked wagon are just too rare, and the El Camino is far more desirable anyways. Now I've got way too many projects to handle, and this is taking lots of my shop time and shop space.
SO...after stripping my wagon....you have all the parts needs for a GREAT El Camino.
(In a nutshell....my daily driver 65 wagon was hit by a drunk driver on the passenger side. It put some kinks in the frame and the body. Then the Highway Patrol rammed it to move it to the side of the road....into a guard rail. )

Other parts I have available for this car (but not included in this auction) is a 12 bolt rear end (pretty rusty)The complete front and rear doors from my wagon. These have all the mechanisms glass, felt, door rubbers, and handles.Please see my other auctions for these.
Here is what will happen, if there are no bids on this auction, I will slowly start putting the car together myself, and relisting at a higher price!
So My recommendation is: if you are interested now, better just get it now, while its cheap!
Happy Bidding!
