If this does check out as being solid and completely original, then my instinct would be to undertake the necessary steps to get it back on the road in its original guise, rather than molesting an original survivor. This one looks like a solid car that would be a great candidate for either option. The styling of the 1959 El Camino has seen them become a firm favorite with both restorers, and those seeking a custom project. It seems to be a case of “You pays your money, and you takes your chances.” What we do know is that the El Camino doesn’t run, but there is no indication of whether the engine even turns freely. It could either be the 283ci or the 348ci engine, but your guess is as good as mine.
