Just to make a couple of corrections, they have the VIN listed incorrectly as it is actually 136800B171386. Atlanta did not build any El Caminos. Also, they stated it was subsequently inspected by me after the restoration which is not the case. I inspected this car on May 13th, 2014 and much prior to any restoration work. It was a real and good truck though no paperwork was found during that inspection or before but did have the original drivetrain. At the time of the inspection most all of the original engine peripherals were incorrect. The body had previous bodywork done but was not done very well. However, most all of those issues may have since been addressed but there are still a number of incorrect items I can see on the photos in the ad. Mileage was 37466.2 when I inspected it.

----Yup, Rick, the master cylinder and booster stick out like a sore thumb for starters. I had a twin to this El C except for power train new. Mine was just a 396/T-400, but was loaded with comfort options. What a great El C that was!....Bill S

It had an original dash in it when I inspected it. I do not recall it being in that bad of condition either and there is no mention of it in the report.
