This El Camino is very special.
It was imported to Sweden in the early import wave in the 70s, only 8 years old. In 1994 it was bought by El Camino specialist Ahls Auto Parts. Ahl drove it for a number of years, before starting a total frame-off renovation in the early 2000s!
The bar was set high. Everything was assembled down and the goal was absolutely mint. Even before the project began, Ahl had collected a lot of original parts. This during trips to the USA in the 80s and 90s, when it was still possible to find original NOS parts. The project continued and was completed for painting, but then other projects came in between and the El Camino was shelved. In May 2017, the car was finished. Ahl is pedantic, and extremely thorough! Right down to the detail level! An expert on El Caminos, his expertise is invaluable during the journey to the finished car. The end result is absolutely incredible, must see! Even on the first test drive, the car was 100% perfect. Not a vibration, not a rattle. The car lines perfectly, the steering was perfect! No readjustment was needed! Correct straight through with cable lugs, hose clamps, washers, screws, nuts and clamps.
The car was originally lime-green with green interior. But there are two times you can decide the color of a car. It's when you buy new and during a refurbishment it was decided that the car would be "Triple Black" with dark gray SS stripes on the hood. Black car with black interior, black vinyl roof and black flak cover.

Original molding straightened and polished. Cleaned and varnished chassis and frame. The car looks absolutely fantastic, it's like a piece of jewelry. You can't get enough of it.
