Vehicle Description
This super cool 1959 Chevrolet El Camino was built to cruise the black top in comfort and style. With it's new fuel injected Ram Jet 350 V8 producing 350 hp and a 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission with a 9" Ford rear axle (3.50 gear ratio) the drive train is dependable as they get. Power disc brakes and 605 power steering have been added along with air conditioning, power windows, power vent windows, AM-FM stereo with power antenna, and remote door locks. The body is nice and straight with excellent fitting doors and hood and all is covered in two tone red and black paint. All chrome and stainless look great as well and all glass with the exception of the vent windows has been replaced with new along with all weather stripping. The bed of the El Camino has been covered in a spay in liner material and covered with a custom built tonneau cover. Special aluminum mounting brackets were made using the original mounting screws for the stainless bed trim. This way it is possible to remove the cover completely with no unsightly holes or snaps left, like it was never there. The wheels are new 17" and 18" chrome Visions wrapped in new tires. This El Camino has also been a feature car in CHEVY High Performance magazine and also a calendar car for the same publication.
