The true Cowl Induction hood, complete with the flapper is fairly valuable if you wanted to sell it. the rear wheel arches are also available. The rust was likely caused by rust around the rear window, or the seal on the smuggler’s box (the removable floor section covering the footwell) The bottom corners of the front fender is a common rust area, patches and full fenders are available. That part is available in the reproduction market. The floor rust appears to be located in what would be the rear seat foot wells, (the El Camino’s used the station wagon floor pan) It is accessible through the front panel of the bed. If the inner wheel wells and areas where the bed floor meets the walls of the bed (confusing, sorry) are not rusted through, the rest is relatively minor. I would like to see better photo’s of the bed, but the rust on the raised portions of the bed floor simply shows it was used! It seems to be free of the normal dents that occur. I don’t think this car is as bad as it initially appears. It could be driven until the body work and paint can be done or just leave it in the original patina. It sounds like this car could be a daily driver as-is. Other new parts include shocks, park light lenses, taillight lenses, door locks, hood pins, wipers, tires, etc. Like the engine compartment, the interior features a bunch of new parts including door panels, armrests, window cranks, door seals and weather stripping, seat belts, shifter, carpet, sun visors, turn signal switch, tach, and yet-to-be-installed headliner. A lot of new components under the hood include a new heater core and hoses, blower motor, radiator hoses, master cylinder, fan clutch, rebuilt starter and alternator, belts, battery, cables, radiator cap, fuel pump, and fuel system. The seller describes the engine as “nice driving.” The engine is a 350 cubic inch V8 backed by a rebuilt Muncie 4-speed transmission and 12-bolt rear end with 3.73 gears. Located in Sidney, Nebraska, this car features a bunch of new parts, and although it has a rough/patina exterior, it appears to be a really nice car. Although this car isn’t an LS6, it has a cowl induction hood with racing stripes which gives it a performance look. This 1970 El Camino can be found for sale here on eBay with a current bid of over $6,000 and the reserve hasn’t been met yet. This one-year-only body style with the LS6 package was the peak of muscle car performance in the 70s. One of the most iconic muscle cars is the 1970 Chevelle. The cars have truck beds which aren’t everyone’s taste. El Caminos and Rancheros are a bit of a love it or hate it proposition.
