Yeah, I think it's going to work out ok.

Right now, one final electrical gremlin is being sorted out - should be good to go tomorrow.

PLOWBOY

I have some Cheers and Gears door magnets I can send you.

Will they get me past security at auto shows and GM facilities?

Well if they don't you have a plow to push them out of the way.

Nice!

So what's the plan next? Sell Green, then do what with the proceeds? What becomes of ROPOS?

Both Green and ROPOS go on the block.

Bills get paid.

And just maybe, the wagon gets some attention.

Sounds like a good plan! :)

I don't recall, which truck was ROPOS? Was that the '80s Chevy crew cab?

No, the '89 Chevy reg cab with the plow.

You guys are evil.

That one that Balthy posted is a '72, not a '71 as listed. It always bugs me when sellers know so little about a car they are selling that they get the year wrong.

No, I won't be buying another Camino just now.

We shall both be devils this Xmas and tease you with our El Camino finds. :P One will eventually nail you to the garage! :D

There's a gray '73 Laguna coupe in the back yard at (hopefully) my new place of employment. Haven't had a chance to look at it up close, but it appears in good condition from a perspective of longing.

Let us know when you nail your new employement! Good Luck and make sure to snap a pic or two. :)

Here you go Camino, why keep that big gas guzzler when you can have this, the answer to all your plowing needs... :P

According to the posts on facebook, it was a Fiat.

As for power... Briggs and Stratton?

I think I'll stick with the Tahoe.

Looks like a Fiat 126 that's been cut & shut..I guess the operator entered through the rear hatch..

Yea, that looks like it. No stylistic loss, that's for sure.

Radically-proportioned vehicles (here: micro-mini) do intrique me.

If I'm not mistaken I believe the Fiat 126 was the basis of the Yugo as well. I didn't bother reading the info on the car, I just posted the pic cause I thought of Camino when I saw it, but my initial thought was that it was possibly a Yugo, so I guess I wasn't that far off.

Close..the Yugo was based on the Fiat 127...the 126 was rear engined, the 127 front engine/fwd.

I see, I admit I'm not too well informed when it comes to Fiat, though my father did own a couple many years ago. He had an early 70's Fiat Spyder which was wrecked in a rear end accident while on a date with my mother. The second was a Fiat 131 I believe which he had when I was very young, and it was a total lemon. Eventually he just left it on the side of the road one day and that was that. It wasn't even 10 years old at that point.
