------In 1975 I heard about a 1969 SS El Camino with aluminum heads and,of course,I followed up on the rumor,and ended up buying the car.It was still in the original owners hands and had been in storage for at least a couple of years.It had 15000 orig.miles and other than tires,carb(orig.included),dist(orig.included),and mufflers it was close to perfect.Put what original parts I had back on and it actually got faster.Never had been one thing put in the bed.Paint was flawless.Car looked like it had 1500 miles.Same for chrome,interior,etc.
-------Option list was as follows;black on black,bench seat,guages,tilt,C+C,M-22,F41,4:10,Posi,PS,PB/disc,tint,L-89,L-78,and radio delete.Probably forgetting a few.
-------Sold the car to Joe Hrutka(Mr.Gasket fame)in late 1976 for what I thought was the princely sum of $6500.I know,I know.Dont go there.He gave the car to his kid because of an impending divorce and I had a chance about a year ago to buy it back for $50000 and sort of reluctantly passed on it(lack of funds).The kid was selling off the cars to finance the downstroke on a Dairy Queen in Palm Desert Ca.Really,I heard this from a close source!!!!
-------Where do you guys feel this car sits on the value scale if it is all I say it was?..............Bill S
