So I could buy it, swap the engine with tunatrucks engine, and sell it again?
If I had money to throw around, I might actually do that.

Of course!

Pretty much what i was thinking. Unti i realized that we need to leave that money in the bank
You are running out of time to get this to the Challenge this year....
I am bumping this thread, because I am getting close to the time where I have to make some decisions I don't want to make.
I can deliver to Gainesville at the Challenge if it helps. Or, I can haul to ATL, SC, etc
Lets talk!
I am bringing this back to the top, because I am running out of time. Obviously it's too late for the pickup class Challenge, but it is time for this to go.
I have moved to another state, adn will not be moving this car with me. Make me an offer.
OK guys, it's time. Make me an offer- This is gonna be a fire sale.
I am moving, and this car is NOT going with me. If I don't get it sold quickly, I will pull the motor, and scrap the rest.
This car is too good to waste.
LOL I know of place in Gainesville that it could be stored for a minute or 15. 
I'm not offering to buy it. I'm seriously trying to be a good boy and not have more than 2 projects going at one time. You know, 2 house projects, two car projects, 2 ..... 
If I still lived in GA I'd be all over this. That is so many good parts for such little money. These look amazing with the SS front end. I'll reach out to some GA friends about it and maybe one of them can hold it for me.
In reply to maschinenbau :
How long do you need it held for?
If I had a commitment, I could push it out of sight and move on. My house will probably not be sold for a couple months.
What was the max payload one of these could haul? I had a G-body way back in the day. They are made for ridiculous power slides in the snow- I can only imagine how light the butt end of a Camino would be.
In reply to Brett_Murphy :
Nothing a couple of sandbags can't fix!
There's no easier vehicle to tub the rear wnd on!
Damnit, if only this was posted next month. All my roommates just moved out so i have space for it to 
and im in orlando.
This thing has so much potential, lift it and drive through the desert mad max style.
or i could just pull the drivetrain and throw it in my miata
So is the current price $1500? Im in Mont Al, 2.5 hrs from Atl and i have access to a truck, trailer and SOME money.
In reply to Justjim75 :
The current price is "make me an offer"
Don't be shy.
The car is not in ATL, its in Albany, GA 31721. About the same distance from Montgomery.
I am available all week.
80tree 5fiftythree 2766. Call or text.
I received a deposit today for this car.
The great news is that it will very likely be an upcoming Challenge effort, AND that the buyer is a newbie who has never been to the Challenge-
I am very excited! 
Not parting out, but if there is a particular El Camino part any of you guys need, it MAY be available soon, as i hear there is a good possibility of doubles. I'd say, about 2 weeks from today when the parts have been sorted.
In reply to Justjim75 :
This is good news on all accounts.
In reply to Indy-Barely Functional-Guy :
It sounds like there may be multiples of parts that could be rare or hard to find and i think all of the previous owners would be ok with me sharing the stuff i dont need with GRMers. SVrex is way cool and im anxious to meet him, and the rest of yall in Gville for $2018
There should be multiples of some things, I was (OK, am) a bit of a pack rat and tended to buy parts that I thought might be useful with the intent of putting the best combination of them together for the competition.
Sold.
Everyone welcome JustJim75 as the next Challenge hopeful!!
