- Cory just traded his Harley 2015 Sportster for a 1980 G body El Camino strait up. It has a 3.8l V6 and a 4 speed, posi rear end, low mileage Arizona car, fresh paint and no rust, no patina, and no loud exhaust😢.
That El Camino is beautiful. I'm green with envy.
Thank you John.
I think it was a smart trade since you live in the great white north drive let it sets for awhile then put in that small block you talked about and i think( el cos) are realy going up in value! Good move Cory! 4spds are f n cool.
You better believe they are cool.
Way to clean to cruise around in the snow . If you do make sure you add sand bags to the bed and put some pizza cutters on the rear... wide tires in the snow on any year el camino turns you into a professional drifter or someone with higher insurance rates lol
Thats some good tips, but it will never see snow.
I don't know what the bike looked like, (so don't know if it was a good swap) but saw this unit at the show, and the body and paint is amazing. And the colour (green) is amazing! I see "me" talking to your brother about the Hudson in front of this unit as you are talking.
Thank you UncleMarks. I remember you.
My youngest son's first car was a 1985 Olds Cutlass Supreme with the Buick 3.8 in it. It had about 70K miles on it and he drove it for 7 years, it was still running fine when he got rid of it. Lots of people had lower end problems on those engines, they tended to spin bearings but my son was not a kid that tended to drive fast.
Like hearing story’s like that so far so good with the 6 cylinder
To each their own. As long as you think you got a deal, it don't matter what others think.
Thank you Bruce.
Good deal 👍 Ya can always get another bike
You are right Rev Rick.
Nice Car, I used to have a 79 El Camino SS and I loved it, Good Luck with it 👍‼️🙂😺
Thank you i drive it almost every day.
It is a really clean good looking car!!!! 4 speed is awesome!!!! Good trade?......I don't know, but if you're happy with it that's all that matters!!!!
I couldnt be happier been driving it every day on my way to work now with it and its 5:00 in the am boooooo
Good deal either way...very unique because of 4speed...I had an opportunity to buy a 4 speed malibu back in the day...hesitated and it was gone...Now I own an 85 Elco and an 87 Buick with a 455 buick th400 combo...great buy for you!
Thats what i thought it was pretty cool with a 4 speed in it sounds like you have a nice collection of cars as well.
That's a really nice car Corey, eventually needs a big block or an LS though. The Only time my truck has ever been in a U tube video! Reflected glory! The black Tundra is mine. I came over and said Hi to Chris while you guys were off getting something to eat and he told me it was your new ride. You even got me and my buddy in the video but our backs were turned talking to the Nova guy with the paxton blower after he pulled in. Like I told Chris, Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching local guys on the U tubes.
A 4 speed G-Body Elky or Malibu is fairly rare. Ive seen a couple Malibus, but this is the 1st El Camino. The 3.8 will keep you outta trouble and save some gas. That's in awesome shape for the age and If it was an AZ car, it must have been in a garage a lot, because the sun destroys interiors down there. But yeah i dig it, however, it's way to slow and quiet for a Corey car!!!
Everyone agrees with you, but for now it will stay as is until something blows up.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms even if the 3.8 grenades, because it is so clean and original....man it would be hard for me to put in anything else. That 4 speed and lower rear gear has to make the 3.8 somewhat better to drive than a high gear and slushbox (auto)
@@OlysGarage It wouldnt be as fun with an auto thats for sure
I have a 81 4 speed with a 305. Always been a good cruiser.
I have a 80 ss el camino with factory 4 speed saginaw with 69k miles
Excellent score !!
Thank you Dragsters.
Hi Penny's Crew . Really nice El Camino ,Cory . It should drive really nice . I really love my '85 Cutlas ,it's a fun car . Gotta go ...the dog wants to go outside !
80s pretty much sucked for cars, looked good no performance, but man their is something about them that I love, that car is awsome!!!!!!!!!
It is a pretty cool car.
You got a really great deal!!!. Nice color, like the rally wheels, interior looks nice, 6cyl not bad either!. I have a 85' El camino 350, black/silver original color, 1 owner when I bought it. Has low miles about 85, 000. Never painted it. Put 2" exhaust w/Flowmasters, chevelle tips/chrome. I also have a cowl hood for it I've not put on yet.
Thank you i have been driving it almost every day in the summer. thats awesome about you cars pretty low miles on it as well.
WOW. I really like it. Good for you. I would change the tires to at least white walls. They look too plane. But it is your car/truck. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍
Thanks for watching Andy
Cool Elky, has almost a copo look to it.I have never owned a G body bit I hear they are bad for rear frame rust but I imagine you checked all that. Love the colour too.
Yes, the frame turns outwards behind the back wheels, and fills with mud and other wet garbage! Saw this unit at this show! Very nice body and paint. I have a video of this show coming out Oct 9th (2021)
Frame rails are good on this one.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms You should be able to repair it. Graft another back piece from a good one, or do a frame swap? You guys have the skills for sure!
You'll have to change your channel name to Penny's Green Hotrods. Dan's Dodge, this one, the studebaker, the Ford pickup.Is the Hudson Greenish? Lol. Keep up the great content.
Do you mean, keep up the green content.😁😁
Excellent video Penny's (Cory) :) lucky find for that car EL Camnio is nice paint green for sure also rare 3.8 Litre is 252 Cubic Cm V6 had 165 hp plus 180 torque plus 2 barrel low rev motor too, rare Manual 4 speed plus 355 posi rear gears! These cars usually had 4.4 litre 267 in blue also red blocks with 2 to 4 barrel also 305 , 350 , 355, 400, 454 , with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Turbo Power Glide 200 , 350 3 speed, 400 3 speed , 700SR 4speed , Manual transmission was 3 speed in 1 &2 Foward gears also Reverse of (h) in Malibu ones , 3 in tree Coulmn Shifter , 4 speed you have or 5 speed and rear ends were 303 to 411 ! Single exhaust but people change to true daul ones with glass packs mufflers after Single rust out ! Still lots people got those cars today to my area only used in Summer Season! Also RPM gauge be worth put in and stereo updates okay most were Am for basic , second Am/ Fm , third was Am/Fm Cassette with or without a eqiluliazer and power antenna was optional or Windshield one plus blue tint or sunvisor beak on too! Sunroof optional too!
Blow some POR 15 or some kind of rust preventive paint in the rear frame rails Corey, they have a tendency of rotting out in there because of the exhaust and road debris. I had a 78 Malibu that did that, for the last 1 1/2 yrs I punched holes in the trunk and wrapped a chain around the frame to keep the bumper on!
Some one all ready if that underneath it was one of the first things I looked when I was there. Looks really nice underneath and clean. Funny story I help a friend spray foam a frame to hide the rot and we undercoated it for a safety it passed thar was many years ago
Nice!!! I had a 79 with a 496 stroker.
Thats a big engine.
Sweet swap, just before snow season 👍🇦🇺
Thank you Sandra.
Wow, nice shape! My first car back in the day was a 1981 Monte Carlo with a 3.8.
At least its a chevy v6 not the garbage buick motor. Most came with a 3spd. I think it was a good trade
Thank you Tom.
Nice find. Clean machine 👌
Clean and rust free.
Excellent trade brother. 😊👍👍
I think so too it’s been a fun car
Cool ride at least you can use it when we get that dreaded snow.
I like it 6 cylinder with a 4 speed = Fun plus it is in really good shape
Its been so much fun driving i drive it every day
Good trade I would have traded my Lemans for it
We like it.
That is a very clean Elko, looks like it will be a nice daily driver.
Yes it will, thank you George.
Sweet ride! I had a 87 for about 10 years. The're nice drivers.
Way cool elky. You guys have good taste.
Thank you ken it’s a cool car for sure
The '84 to '88 Monte Carlo SS tach is a direct bolt in, just make sure you get the tach filter off the fire wall too.
Excellent trade
Thank you Gerald.
You did good Corey! Bike season is just about over anyway! Good daily driver plus it's a good parts chaser! Go Penny's!
Also Glenn the keys are in the ignition for when you come out. 🤣🤣
I'll be there by Wednesday!😆
@@glennnickerson8438 Deal
Love El Camino’s ! Sweet trade! LS it.
Awesome trade that's a beautiful El Camino I love the color interior the rims the tires awesome trade not to mention it's a lot safer for you. Good deal on that one beautiful car 👍🏼
Thank you totally agree with there 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent trade, love those El Caminos, pretty clean ride!
Thanks for watching and agree with you
Not sure about trade , I am like you no experience in trading. Really like the car and the way it looks with the green body with soiled black tires , I was looking for a El Camino or a Truck . I ended up with a truck, here in Ohio the El Caminos are high dollar and they are not stock at times . I enjoy the stock look of cars.
So do i sure has a nice look to it Lester
You did good Cory .The car looks solid sits a little high in the rear and it looks like the auto trans was swapped to a 4 speed conversion .
That’s what I was thinking too
It may be swapped out for the manual, but my dad had a 79 with a factory 4 speed and he always remarked on how they didn't change the cluster at the factory to eliminate the PRND21
This is cool to see. My first car in ‘93 was a 1980 El Camino V6 with a 3-spd manual. I was surprised to see the factory V6 made it this far!
Looks super clean!! Was a nice bike but hard to turn that one down!!
Great Choice !
Thank you J swan.
real nice elco ! i have 80´ elco my self too. nice cars.
Thank you 😁😁
Nice. I would put a 1981 grill on that.
An 81 grill would bolt right on that and it kinda resembles a billet grill.
Never would of thought of that look at a few weeks ago its sitting in storage now cant wait for spring
I would have got rid of the Harley too you got a great deal
Thank you Gary been driving it every day to work
Wow ! Looks good
Thank you Joseph.
Very nice car. I hate green, but it looks "right" on that car. I'd hope you go the traditional small block route, I'm so sick of douchebags doing LS swaps. And extra points for the Hollywood Knights reference.
Haha didn’t think any one would get that guess u can’t say Chinese bandits anymore when u see a cobra lol
That's super sweet ride!!!!
Dang straight
Fair trade, super clean ! Bed looks like there has never been anything ugly rolling around in it. LS swap maybe ?
Thanks for watching if any thing ill build just a nice sbc nothing crazy its been a fun car so far been driving it every day.
Awesome car!
Thank you 409Adam.
Figured you like that Adam
4 Craigers would be perfect for it,its Beautiful awesome trade!!!.......
Nice ride. I've seen it a few times going for a walk. Also may have a 4.3 for ya haha
Its a pretty fun car been driving it every day so far lol nice .😎😎
Cheap upgrade is a supercharger. Can get one from a junk yard.
👍How did I miss this 1? Score! Keep as a daily driver & dependable parts runner.
if your happy im happy😁 , car is nice but not sure if i would have given up the bike
It was hard but there’s always more bikes out there that’s forsure
Now I realize why you said ha ha about my comment about mine having a V6 ! The only problem I had with mine was the timing chain would stretch to the point it was hitting the cover . Went through about four of them . Nice car though .
Oh and that whistle is coming from the grill, put a small strip of aluminum up top for a cure .
Thank you Howie 😁😁
Nice trade.
Thank you Greg
I'm pretty sure the stick cars still had P RND21 with that gauge cluster. There's a blank plate that covered it that's held on with 2 screws. My 79 was a factory v6 with 3 speed in the floor but it had the long speedometer and no guages. Only idiot lights and the fuel gauge. My 85 has the same gauge cluster as yours but that ticking grandfather clock in the cluster had to go😂😂 I replaced it with a tach. Unfortunately they only have them for v8's so it's just for looks until the v8 goes in.
Any time you can dump a Harley it's a great trade.😜
Thank you oldwing1100.
That car is slick boys!
Figured you guys would like it
I traded a 05 sportster for my 78 elco. Clean car as well
Glad you got a good trade too.
Cool El Camino.
Still driving it almost time to put it away for the year.
Check out classic g body garage. He has a bunch of 4spd g body cars
Cool we will check him out.
Real good trade. I love it.
Thank you RatRodRamblin.
Awesome trade
Thank you still been driving it every day but will be parking it soon.
What does it have for a powerplant? Black and Decker Aquarium pump (from the movie Hot Rod--1979, but you knew that already)!
G-2 lol can’t forget that Glenn
I got 250 dollars that says my little green car isn’t faster then yours
Hey Glenn , cool Kevin here , you’ll have to wait to see my new whip ! Hope all is well with you 👀 take care
@@kevintyler8710 Whip it good! Corey and his El Camino almost had me buy a 71 El Camino last night! A friend rolled his over a couple of months ago (From Texas USA) and had a parts car that had some rust. Plan was to cut off the good stuff and put it on the rusty one. Would have been a two yr project probably. Wisdom prevailed!
Turbo that V6. Everything needs boost!
Maybe a small block first or if we can find a 3.8 Grand National engine.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms I know I sounded like the standard old joke but seriously, you could easily turbo that existing v6 with junkyard parts and keep the sleeper look but blow the doors off most v8’s. Much easier and cheaper than swapping in engines. It will drive smooth under normal load and really wake up when needed. Add a better cam and valve train and the power goes up even more, all on pump gas. But it’s definitely a cool Elco.
@@380.motorsports Would be cool thats for sure Bob
Elcomenos is the best pick ups in the world
They are very handy to have.
Depends on the bike? But I'd say if ya traded him a older bike in good shape lower miles, ya both got good deals.
It was a 2016 Sportster.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms in my opinion, you got the better deal then!. Building one myself right now👍🏻.. I must say she wears that green quite well. Hammer down brother!!
Please do a 0-60 I have a 229 v6 malibu I’m restoring but have never driven
Find a turbo setup off a Buick or early monte for that v6
Few guys said that also still been driving it every day couple more weeks before ill park it.
the rear tire wheel combo looks ridiculous.
Could you show what shifter and bracket ect.. that was used?
350 in this ELCO would be great!
Think it will happen thats for sure
Got that right Anthony
A Year Newer I would be slobbering New 2 the chanel so you're Bike It's unknown to me but an El Camino all the way
"hasn't been touched". Except ; motor, trans, rear diff., ....,..
Its all original the little v6 isnt fast buts a great daily driver.
Any idea of what shade of green
Honestly not to sure could always swing by your place and show you.
Twin turbo 3.8?
Lol would be cool
You ready to sell this beauty?
Nope its actually a fun car to drive . I like it.
Wow iets perfect and do you still have it.
Yes I still have it and I drive it all summer long.
Hard to ride a bike in y'alls winter.
Haaahaa no kidding Glenn
Shit I'd drive it but if u put a 4.3 even better
Even better with a 305.
@@pennyshotrodscustoms or a built 350 lol
Nice! I have an '81 GMC Caballero it was originally a 3.8 with 3 speed manual. I swapped in a 350 and a M22. Check it out in my channel
No reason to watch this channel if you going to keep the damn thing a V6, extremely boring!!!
Clean A body!!
