Very original 1976
Sprint - exactly like the El Camino with different badging. Only
5,000 Sprints made that year - 45,000 El Caminos produced in '76.
No body modifications other than addition of side rails and cover
over bed. No engine hot rodding. Much work was done in the last few
years including new radiator, AC conversion to R134a, rebuilt 4
barrel carb, gasket replacement on valve covers, repainting valve
covers, new plugs and wires, new vinyl top (with a lot of prep on
the roof to eliminate surface rust and rust proof it - all vinyl
top cars from the 70s trapped moisture under the top. That's no
longer a problem here.), brake work, re-chrome rear bumper and
other work. AC does not blow cold currently but has worked.
Freon?
Air shock to raise and lower bed height works. I have hauled a
water heater and a few other items in the past. Always very careful
to cover all surfaces with blankets when toting something.
I have the factory build sheet, factory new vehicle inspection
document from May of '76, owner's manual, maintenance schedule
brochure and dealer brochure. Cool paperwork items. Pictures
below.
Aftermarket rally wheels and good tires. Paint presents well from
10 feet but will need attention at some point. Paint is a pretty
cinnamon color. No rust issues. 71,000 miles. Interesting cloth and
vinyl interior (no rips or heavy wear), AM radio and clock delete.
Back in the day when you could buy a car that way. Carpet is good.
Spare tire is behind the passenger seat as it should be and is in
good condition.
350 4 barrel V8 engine, originally from California. New catalytic
converters about 8 years ago. A true dual exhaust system so two
converters were installed. I have owned it for over 15 years and I
believe I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. Will need exhaust gasket and
transmission pan gasket replacement but is quite drivable as it
is.
Not perfect but nice and attention getting. Stored in my driveway
but always covered.
I love this body style and this car but medical and financial
issues make a hobby car something I just can't do right now.
Asking $7,000 OBO.
