Scotty does have a point. Code P0420 for example, is a common generic code for poor catalyst performance. 9 times out of 10, it's usually a intake leak or an exhaust leak. But very commonly misdiagnosed as a bad 02 sensor. Bank 1 sensor 1 to be specific.

Ford Australia was the first company to produce an Australian Coupe ute (Short for "Utilility" vehicle) which was released in 1934. This was the result of a 1932 letter from the unnamed wife of a farmer in Australia asking for "a vehicle to go to church in on a Sunday and which can carry our pigs to market on Mondays".

It’s technically a car and a truck dependent on where you live is which one it will be some states say truck, some states say car The frame is the worst part for them to rust there’s a certain area in the rear of the frame where the upper arms are that always rots away and you can’t repair it if you get beyond a certain point, and the whole rear frame section itself is known to rust away

From at least one perspective, your grandson made a reasonable choice for a first car. He is sure to learn how to work on cars and there will be no problem finding parts for that. The straight pipes and horn are really dumb, but that can be fixed. Probably should put AC on it.

If the El Camino doesn't have a lot of substantial amount of rust, then I would assume it can be taken care of as time goes by.

[@jerrystaley1563]

Scotty, I really enjoy all your episodes... As far as your grandson's 1981 El Camino, just where did it acquire those horrid taillights? As the previous owner of a used 1981 El Camino (medium jade green) and a then new 1987 (last year of production - "Hecho en Mexico"), neither one had such taillights. Both sported their taillights mounted in their rear bumpers, just like the station wagons that they evolved from. Wish that I still had my '87 "El Conquisto" dark blue/medium blue version.
