Re: [Chevelle-list] retiring the el camino?

[Rick Schaefer]

  Someone asked a similar question a few weeks ago at Chevelle Tech.    Favorable reviews were given to any of the full size GM FWD equipped with the 3.8l V-6.   Seems like they are reliable & get outstanding gas economy.  A co-worker has a Buick  and claims 28-32 mpg on the highway.  Trunk is huge.

Well, I am seriously at the point of wanting to put historic plates on the El Camino and get a garage for it, and get some sort of economical car that can hold a fair amount of [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a way that is not visible from the outside. If anybody knows of a garage available on Long Island, please let me know. Also, any suggestions for the next commuter car are welcome, but I do want something that hides the stuff in the back. One bad thing about the El Camino has always been that I can't leave anything in the back and walk away, and still expect it to be there when I get back. Then there was the time when I came back and someone had loaded the bed with garbage...

 

Anyway, I am going to eventually have to do this car over again, and hopefully better. The next time I invest that sort of time and money into it I will not want to treat it like an everyday beater again afterwards.

 

Thanks,
