I'm a BIG FAN of donor cars. A running, driving car gives you a drive train that's proven to work, and that's exactly what we're doing with this big block El Camino. These things aren't worth a whole lot, and this example has some serious body rust, especially in the roof. I heard the car run when I bought it, but by the time it was home, this car had zero juice, due to a wiring issue. I hot wired the ignition and put a push button on the starter so we could test drive it and make sure it was going to be a good donor vehicle for our special upcoming project.
After a test drive and burnout, we pulled it back into the driveway for a good cleanup inside and out. Somebody spent a lot of money on this car, for it to ultimately be parked due to a wiring issue. We bought it with no title or paperwork, strictly as a donor vehicle. The big block seems super healthy, so it should make for a great hot rod combination with a few upgrades. Stay tuned for information on the project car this engine will be used in. You're gonna love it!
