Only speaking for myself,if someone had defrauded me like your cousin,I can guarantee you I would have tracked the seller down and put a major hurting on him,,at the very least.

The paypal guarantee is a complete fraud. I bought a 51 Chevy pickup that was described as "motor runs fine" and listed over a dozen new parts, even saying new transmission oil. When it came time to have shipped he (named Brad Dewitt from Colorado- in case he ever tries to take you for a ride) said he hadn't messed with it for years and it would have to be winched on trailer. We filed complaint under paypal guarantee policy and they basically said tough sh.t that we should read their guarantee very closely, apparently admitting it's total worthlessness.

Are these rare, or are people just holding onto them more than other years? All of you El Camino guys have kind of got my interest up. I think my final dream is a three pack. This would include my current 70 Malibu, a 70 Chevelle convertible, and now a 70 El Camino to finish off the set. Does anyone have an idea of the average cost of a 70 El Camino in probably an 8-9 condition range out of 10? I may change my mind and go for the El Camino for the next car instead of the convertible.
