NUT-SHELL DESCRIPTION: For your consideration I have for sale a nice driver quality 1971 El Camino. It is powered by a rebuilt 454 cubic inch engine, its connected with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission and 10 bolt rear-end, it stops good with power brakes, disc in front and drums in the rear, it drives good with power steering, the black paint has a brillant shine, the chrome decent and black interior looks good. This is not a new car, it is not a $100,000 show queen, but it is a very nice driver that look real good.

VIN: 136801B213561

MILES: 80566 reading today.

TITLE: Clear title in hand with a VIN that matches the car.

HISTORY: I can not tell you a thing, I bought the car from a car restorer friend of mine that lives near Cincinnati, Ohio.

HAS THE CAR EVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT? I see no signs of a bent frame or major accident damage.

IS THIS CAR A REAL SUPER SPORT? I do not have a clue, it looks like one, I will not guarantee you that is real.

IS THIS A MATCHING NUMBERS CAR? No! It now has a rebuilt 454 cubic inch truck engine. Lots of people consider this better, I do not know what the car was born with.

IS THIS A RUSTY CAR? I do not consider it a rusty car, no rust places on the outside, no rust bubbles in the paint. The underside is not beautiful, it looks like a old car. I see where the floor bottoms have been replaced, the passengers side drop down in the rear quarter, some scaly places. It no rotisorie restoration that cost $50,000, this is a driver quality. The frame does look solid, the body mounts do look solid to me. Sorry guys, its just a fact of like your not going to get beutiful on the underside for this price.

ENGINE: The engine casting numbers are 14015445, the web site I looked at says this is a 4 bolt main truck engine that could have been built between 1975 and 1987. The engine was rebuilt with a Seal Power rebuild kit, it runs good with no knocks or rattles and no blue smoke. The car has a 180 degree thermostat and seems to run at that on the road, it has a electric fan that comes on when you turn the switch on, car gets warmer when you set still, if you add air are in a very hot climate you may want to invest in one of the heavy duty aluminum radiators with a super high volumn fan.

TRANSMISSION: Its a good shifting Turbo 350.

REAR-END: Its a 10 bolt with no whines or growls, it has a good highway gearing.

EXHAUST: Full tube headers, mellow sounding mufflers with turn downs only

.

PAINT: The black paint has a very good shine and the body is straight when you look down the sides. No dents, no dings, a few touched up chips. The worst thing I see with the paint is 3 or 4 chips on the top that have been touched up. Nice paint job, but it no perfect job that someone spent $20,000 on. Please come inspect it!

INTERIOR: The seat cover is very good with no wear and no holes, the door panels good, the dash pad good, carpet good, but not new. The worst thing I see is the arm rest tops that have been recoverd with fuzzy material and the headliner is replaced with vinyl.

CHROME: Decent chrome and stainless, the bumpers look real good, the emblems good, the drip rail has a couple of dings, the tail light bezels have pits, the corner bed trim has some pits.

GLASS: The side windows roll up and down good, the windshield is good with  a super faint wiper mark, no cracks or chips.

GAUGES: The gauges are in a pod under the dash and they work.

LIGHTS: The headlights work, the tail lights work, the brake lights work, the turn signal work, the interior light does not work.

WIPERSWORK.....SPEEDOMETER WORKS

TACHOMETER WORKS.....HORN IS NOT WORKING.

WHEELS AND TIRES:Decent GM Rally wheels, the tires have good tread, but do look like they are old.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE CAR: I think it a good looking car that runs good, drives good and stops good. I do not think its a perfect show queen, I think its good driver quality and its priced that way.

WHERE IS THE CAR LOCATED? Here at my home/garage in Athens, Tennessee 37303.

PLEASE NO TRADE OFFERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
