#FIND ME AN EL CAMINO CAR FOR SALE IN ALABAMA PLUS#

My 81’ Camino had an issue with over heating when I first got it and would boil coolant but the cost for parts wasn’t even $100 (rad hose and rad cap) and was fun to work on with my dad.Īs for daily driving the car I personally don’t due to it just being a damn boat so I drive my E90 bmw which isn’t as cool but when I want to go run errands or something it takes the win compared to the Camino.Īs for the cool factor I get many looks driving it around my city. The engine is the easiest to work and learn on due to having so much room to actually get your hands in under the hood. If you are able to find one with a pristine body I would go for it. I got pretty lucky with mine since it has 0 rust whatsoever and the body has 0 bondo as well. I’m younger as well (21, but I bought it when I was 20.) The car is awesome and it’s my favourite car I’ve owned. Little late of a reply but I hope you see this! it's unique, fun, and utilitarian (when it works). It'll start conversations at college, you'll make some weird friends (not so many college kids are usually into fixing older cars in any era), and it's not much of a chick magnet (most of the people who hollar at me are old white dudes or hispanic dudes ) ), but man. if you're really willing to work on it and learn. I bought a 30 year old beater of a car (a Datsun 280ZXT) in college and kept it running on and off throughout, which really kicked off my love of working on cars and my ability to do so. Oh, but they do suck pretty hard on hills in the snow. The parts are simple and straightforward to understand (mostly) and if you have access to a good mechanic or a good mechanic buddy you should mostly be fine. If you get it, get real familiar with everything on it. Can you be without a car randomly once or twice a year for a few days? During college I could, so that was fine, but I think with old cars you need to ask this question. They're not all that expensive to maintain (most parts are cheap), but it's not uncommon to have a car this old just break down now and then and require a part that's a bit harder to get. might just be bad brake pads, but could also be one of a number of other larger components starting to fail after 40 years. EG: It's started pulling to the right a little. You'll also need to get real good at determining what is wrong in advance of the failure. Maintenance is going to be a constant year-round thing whether you do it yourself or pay someone else to do it. You just have to expect things to keep breaking.

On the plus side, once you get it in reasonably good shape, they're really easy to maintain and work on. It's a 40 year old car at this point and you can't trust the seller of any car deal to divulge everything even if they know it.
