Like some 115 other people, I've been watching this 1959 El Camino here on eBay
for quite a while. It has a great look to it, although I'm a bit
nervous about the rust. Five thousand dollars seems like a decent deal
for a first year V8 powered El Camino, but it appears no one is quite
willing to take the plunge and hit the Buy It Now button. If the engine
were complete and running, I have a feeling this one would have sold a
long time ago. The seller does give the option to make an offer, so
perhaps they would be willing to drop the price a could thousand. If the
engine is free, it shouldn't be hard to find parts for and get running,
but that's a big if. I would want to inspect this one carefully before
spending much on it, as the rust could be a serious issue. So would you
leave this truck with its original "patina" or would you give it a
proper paint job?
