Description of 1978 Chevrolet El Camino SUPER SPORT

I HATE TO SELL BUT I NEED TO BUY MY WIFE A HOUSE!! PLEASE HELP ME RAISE MONEY TO GIVE HER A 17TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY GIFT JUNE 25TH IN A NEW HOME!!
THIS IS MY VEHICLE, MY DAILY DRIVER WHOM WAS INHERITED FROM MY FATHER. HE GOT IT FROM THE ORIGINAL GENTLEMEN WHO BROUGHT THE CAR DOWN FROM NORTH DAKOTA!! I DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT WANT TO SELL THIS CAR!! HOWEVER, I AM TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE AND OF COURSE BEING MARRIED THE HOUSE IS MORE IMPORTANT. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES AND YET THIS IS MY BABY BECAUSE IT WAS A GIFT FROM MY FATHER AND IT IS THE SAME YEAR I WAS BORN 1978!! THIS VEHICLE IS A HEAD TURNER WHEREVER I GO!! IT RUNS VERY WELL!! I WOULD BE WILLING TO DRIVE THIS THING TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK!! AS I MENTIONED I DRIVE THIS CAR BACK AND FORTH TO WORK DURING THE WEEK AND ON THE WEEKENDS I CRUISE AROUND IN IT WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD SON...
I AM NOT TRYING TO PAINT A SOB STORY BUT WHOMEVER BUYS THIS VEHICLE WILL BE TAKING A BIG PIECE OF ME WITH YOU. THIS IS MY PRIDE AND JOY. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL ANGLES TO HOLD ON THIS BABY BUT THIS IS THE KEY TO HAVING MONEY DOWN FOR A NEW HOME. ITS BEEN IN OUR FAMILY FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. I HAD THE ENGINE REBUILT TWO YEARS AGO, AS WELL AS THE CARB. THE ONE DRAWBACK IS YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE ENGINE IS ORANGE. WELL IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLUE AND THE MECHANIC TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO PAINT IT THE ORANGE NEEDLESS TO SAY I WANT THIS CAR TO BE AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE I DON'T EVEN WANT TO PAINT IT. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 350 THAT CAME WITH THE CAR AS WELL AS THE ORIGINAL PAINT!! IT WILL COME WITH A NEW SUPER SPORT FRONT CHIN SPOILER AND NEW DOOR HANDLES. THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS BROKEN UP. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET THAT SHOWS WHAT CAME FACTORY ON HERE ALSO SHOWING THE Z15 SS PACKAGE!! YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE BUILD SHEET HAS THE EL CAMINO SS BADGE THAT GOES RIGHT ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT (IT CAME OFF A WHILE AGO BUT IS THE ORIGINAL BADGE). THIS IS NOT AN AFTERMARKET SUPER SPORT!!
WHAT IS MISSING IS THE AC AND RADIO CONTROLS ON THE INSIDE. YOU WILL NOTICE A PICTURE OF THE BUILD SHEET THAT I FOUND UNDER THE HEADLINER THAT I TORE DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS PEELING BAD. IT HAS SOME SURFACE RUST BUT NO HOLES BODY OVERALL IS PRETTY STRAIGHT. YOU WILL NOTICE IN PICS SOME DINGS...
AGAIN A RARE CAR FIRST YEAR OF THIS BODY STYLE LAST YEAR OF THE 350 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION...PLEASE BID WITH CONFIDENCE AND ENJOY THIS VEHICLE AS MUCH AS I HAVE...
