All four SS wheels are there with old, flat Polyglas tires. Even the original BQ-code 3-core radiator is there and in good condition. The CI-code 3.73 12-bolt is original and all there. Fortunately the previous owner removed and stored away the 3919842 aluminum heads, which are in pristine original condition and dated Feb/March 1969, and these are included with the car. I've made an attempt to locate them but have been unsuccessful so far. From what I understand, the original short block and transmission were with the car until a few years ago. Fortunately he did a good job removing it so it is in perfect condition. A previous owner removed the trim tag to have the car media blasted so it will need to be reattached.

One of the NOS front inner fenders took on water and will need to be patched. I tried to take pics of these areas so please review them carefully. There are a few areas of rust I could find: at the base of the windshield, on the driver's floor pan, at the back window corners, in the radiator support, and in areas on two of the bed braces and in the rear wheelhousings.

Body panel condition is generally good the SS hood is rust free and in exceptional shape, the doors and fenders look pretty good, and the quarters have a few minor dings that I could find. I have not worked on it or moved it since buying it two years ago. From what I can tell, the body was taken off the frame, the frame was blasted and painted, and the body was placed back on the frame to store it away.

The car was then disassembled for a full restoration which was never finished, and that is how it sits today. The El Camino had NOS quarters and inner/outer fenders installed in the late 1970s and I believe the last time it ran was the early 1980s. The El Camino was sold at Schwyn Brothers Chevrolet in Blissfield, MI, and has never left the Blissfield/Adrian, MI area, so there is a good chance the drivetrain and paperwork may still be in the area. I think of this car as a lottery ticket if you are able to track down the original engine block, or documentation, you could instantly add tens of thousands of dollars in value. There is NO FACTORY PAPERWORK with this car but I have spoken with the original owner who agreed to sign a notarized affidavit stating how he ordered the car when it was new. I am aware of only three 1969 El Caminos ordered with the L89 option, including this one, so it is a very rare car. The color combination is spectacular - Cortez Silver with a black vinyl top and black buckets & console. It is about as close to a perfect Chevy Big Block muscle car as one can get.PLEASE READ: I can only add 24 pictures to Ebay's listing, but there are many more below the description so please check them out! Up for auction is my 1969 El Camino SS396, which was ordered new with the 396/375hp engine, L89 aluminum heads, M22 4-speed transmission, and 3.73 positraction 12 bolt rear.
