Advice on 1975 el Camino (standard)?1975 Chevrolet EL CAMINO |
| October 3rd, 2017 05:18:00 pm, posted by Dan Wilcox |
Hello everyone I am looking for some advice on buying a 1975 Standard. Not so much for restoration but as a decently reliable daily driver that I can teach my kid basic mechanics stuff on.
Here the info from the seller, Ive got a test drive planned for it next week
350 SBC bored .30 over
th350 automatic transmission
(both rebuilt about 7000 miles ago)
no ac, missing compressor
Interior/exterior good condition
Left turn signal and driver window dont work
Newer shocks 2yrs old
Power steering needs a new pump
Starts and runs good
No rust or significant body damage, just the rear drivers side is a little beat up
no emissions are required where the seller lives, but will be required based on where I live so that might be a potential issue
Other than checking if the above stuff is all true is this a decent option? What additional questions should I ask and/or what should I look at during the test drive to make sure I dont end up with expensive problems?
Any insight/advice is much appreciated! Thank you for reading.
