Okay, I own a 77 El Camino that I'm working on to get back on the road soon. As such, I spend some time digging around a few of the El Camino boards looking for model-specific info for my car.

While I was looking around I found the photo below. The picture is bad enough, but what's worse is that there's a guy who wants to do something like this... but he wants to add a Playstation2, LCD screen w/ DVD player, and 10" subs in the console as well.

do you have a pic of your 77 el Camino?
i sold my 77 to a guy in Houston (Blue Bastard).
i know it is a long shot, but i have seen stranger things.
it was two tone blue, dark/baby, with the aluminum trim separating the colors. it had a custom seat, with wood grain console and custom headliner/door panels, and rally wheels.
i sold just the shell (no motor/trans).
could it be yours.

Here is what I saw sitting in the parking lot at the swap meet yesterday. The funny thing is the back window had a big glass-etched mural that was for the American Bikers something-or-other.
There was also curb feelers on the passenger side and purple velvet interior!
Later,

AKM,

My Elkie is black and silver - originally it was brown. I bought it last Dec from a kid in Arlington, Tx. It's pretty much sat abandoned for the last year while I restructured my finances and stored up some money to work on it.

No pics of my Elkie yet. I'm still ashamed of the way it looks right now. It needs a fender and a lot of minor bodywork to look good.

I just got the engine in it a couple of weeks ago, and got the exhaust system hooked up on Saturday. I went with sidepipes for the 70's nostalgia factor.

I'm trying to get it street legal, then I'm going to start the body work. I'm not trying for a beauty queen, just a decent ride with a little extra muscle in it.

I'll try to get some pics up though. I'll just have to show the side with the good fender on it. (The kid I got it from dropped it off a jack - or so he says, and crushed the drivers side front fender.)

A few years back, I wanted to hook up a board to my bumper packed with about 30 model-rocket engines wired to the battery with a switch. I wanted to light up on the highway, but figured that $5 per 3 rockets meant spending $50 on the whole plan. Glad I had sense enough not to do it and set my car on fire in the process.
