BARN FINDS| Junkyard 1969 SS396 4 Speed El Camino Part 1

I found this car while browsing through a junkyard on break. It had been sitting in there for 18 years but I was able to talk the owner into selling it. Later I found out it was originally a four-speed car that had been converted to an automatic. Stay tuned for the build on here and my Instagram: @dezzysspeedshop

[@finleypatmalcolm]

Nice score.. Exactly.. you snooze, you lose. Like your Caprice wagon..

Worked 396 turbo 400

[@rosscarmichael78]

I’m ready to see the tear down on it. Seeing what’s under everything is my favorite part of a restore

[@stephengordon8968]

I had a 68 elcamino while in the service and I loved that car !

[@tractordave9300]

Just came across your video/ did you save and keep it/ my son is trying to bring one back to life! You definitely have good taste

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Yup! If you look through my channel there are other videos of it. I’m about to drop the engine and transmission in it soon. Make sure you stay tuned.

[@Shane-Singleton]

First time on your channel. Man that station wagon is serious! love it! Even if that Elco isn't an original SS or big block car it's worth saving. Pretty solid looking. And I love that it's a factory 4-speed car. Need to rip out that steering column and fix the crime that was committed when they swapped in an automatic.

[@brianfranklin7893]

Sweet find 👍 my favorite year model! They have an aggressive look from the grill with duel headlights 😎

[@sasquatchlives4261]

See the engine mounts? That car had a different engine in it at some point.

[@gregpapagno5683]

Nice find

[@gregwarner3753]

Love the wagon. Best American cars ever.

[@letysmallwood5042]

Loved seeing the classic cars. Thanks for sharing.

[@rodneychapman1506]

That faded out paint job could shine like new you might think I’m crazy for saying this rub the car down with automatic transmission fluid it will shine like a new penny just keep it off dirt roads that’s if your not going to paint the car anytime soon !!! Lot’s of luck on getting it out from that spot hope to see more videos of it as you build it !!!

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

It’s in my shop now. Check out my new year’s resolution video. Also, I like the matte orange look 😁

So many cool cars in one place ready to be saved !

[@Born_Texan]

When I was a kid my dad drove a 1971 SS 454 Elco it was a 4 speed car, red w black stripes. Him and my uncle were both into drag racing and they supported that habit by converting VW Bugs into Dunebuggies with a fiberglass body and crazy metal flake paint jobs. As a kid in the 70's I didn't realize how cool that was but looking back now at how rare those Dunebuggies are I realize that he and my uncle were pretty genius. Back then my mom drove a 1965 SS 327 Impala, it was Lavender with white interior 👍it was a beautiful car.

[@scottforslund8813]

Great taste in cars.love that wagon as well as elco.

[@mikemoscato2995]

Nice find good luck with it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

If you just get that thing back on the road it would be an improvement. Get it running and someone can enjoy it and work on it until they get to the point where they need to either blow it apart and paint it or just keep it as is.

[@bigbearbland]

I remember that sled when it was driving around Spunaway in the 90's.

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Oh yea? Was it hauling ass?

[@77yogurt]

@@DezzysSpeedShop that IS the most important question, tbh.

Sweet wagon

[@derrickjackson6737]

Bring it back alive please!!!!!!!!

[@jimmyhamm9737]

Saw one of these 69 chevell elcamino's with original 396 and 4speed going on the way down to my home town 2years ago. But no motor or trans. And needed way to much work.

[@markcollins5026]

Man, solid !

[@jeffcrompton2767]

Keep it all original. These are rare. Ask him where is the # matching engine..

[@KFLY67]

Mike is the owner. I bought two Camaros off him a 67 and 69 On my Channel bro.

[@grumblyone3334]

(Sigh), lot of "misunderstandings," me thinks here, but appreciate your enthusiasm! That 'elcky, is a frame off restoration... at MINIMUM. I know. (Won't go into embarrassing details... just, believe it). I really hope you're working in a shop that specialises in this kind of shit, 'cause you'll be neck deep it one! Best of luck!

[@Bishop472]

Great find brother 👍. I'd keep ahold of that one. Seen a nova in the background. I'm still looking for a 72 Chevelle to restore. I owned two of them back in the day. Wish I'd kept them. But back then,Chevelle's weren't scarce. Hopefully I'll find one before I kick the ole bucket Lol. ✌️👍

[@Born_Texan]

Man I love the 72's but for some reason I've always been drawn to the 1973 Malibu and its because it's the only year they made the round tail lights above the rear bumper. I just love that look and like you I owned and built 2 of them in the late 80's & early 90's until I became a dad n got married and had to sell a lot of stuff. I'm driving a 2015 ScatPack Challenger now and it brings those feelings back just fine 👍

Dude great stuff! You have a sub here. Great work and great find. The 12 bolt alone is probably worth more then you paid for the car. :). Good luck with your build!

At 12:48 these old ambulances had great motors .

Score Man! Sure you will make it sick.Dig tha Wagon also.

El Caminos are good for hauling three things. Potato chips, ping pong balls and a jet boat.

Dude bro, I was there last year, I saw that orange elcamino and didn’t know he’d sell. check out my 67 and 69 Junkyard find on my channel.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

I’d rather a 396;than a 454 maybe it is a ss because can’t seeing a guy going to trouble to put a ss interior in it but we’re is the console did you check the vin and is it a real ss

[@DezzysSpeedShop]

Console is probably with the engine and trans

the roof on the ground next to the el camino is wearth alot, i guess its for chevy/pontiac -59/60 wagon.

YOU LUCKY BASTARD!!... HOW MANY BILLS DID IT COST YA?... IM HERE IN AUSTRALIA WHERE THE UTE IS ORIGINATED FROM BUT WE DONT HAVE TOO MANY EL CAMINOS OR EL RANCHOS.

[@morgansword]

I saw a lot of old gold there. Lots of them were sweet cars on the road. Even a four door hardtop 63 ford galaxie needs another chance at glory... didn't see a lot wrong with that hardtop olds or the mustang... hell everywhere you looked, that 65 chevy was beat on the hood but the top looked like it was all there. Tons on money rotting away, hope you can get it out without killing some other cars...curious what you really paid for it

[@jimmyhamm9737]

Would like to find a one that just came with a 350 and turn it into a lifted 4x4.

[@scottcummings18]

Looks like a automatic

Column was switched out and clutch pedal removed. 4 speed linkage is still dangling in the engine compartment. I’ll do another video showing the underside.
