This El Camino is a get in and drive car. All the work has been done to make it a great El Camino. This means plenty if you were to just buy a driver El Camino and then invest your time and money to get it to the level of this El Camino. Buying a project El Camino plus the time and cost to build it to the same standards would cost you thousands more than the price of this beautiful car.
