This awesome Pro Street 1985 Chevrolet El Camino is for sale in our
Louisville KY showroom. The El Camino has been around since the
late 50's with a cult following ever since its initial release.
With its truck like bed and car like cab it is easy to see why
people love these UTE's. This 85 ELCO give you the ability to haul
a little more than just the stuff in the bed. An original 305 car
from the factory that engine was replaced with a much healthier
350. Starting off with a bolt main this motor was built from the
bottom up. The Chevrolet X rods and unbelievably strong and with
the engine balanced you can feel confident when the tach hits the
redline. The flat top pistons keep the engine at a very streetable
10.2 to 1 compression allowing you to pull right up to the pump
with no need for expensive race fuel. The 882 heads have been
polished with the addition of hardened push rods and roller rockers
durability was not forgotten about on this build. The Lunatti flat
tappet cam gives the ELCO a ton of high-end usable power not to
mention a great lope while at idle. The 750 CFM Holly Street
Avenger carb feeds this high performance street beast the right
amount of fuel. Spark is taken care of through the industry
favorite MSD ignition system. A set of hooker headers connected to
a couple of Flowmasters is guaranteed to be music to any gearheads
ears. Handling all that power is a built TH350 with a Dacco 3k
stall convertor with a trans cooler keeping everything at just the
right temp. The rear end is composed of a Ford 9inch with Moser
engineering bolt in housing with 31 splined axles and a limited
slip differential allowing for the 3.50 gear set to be effortlessly
swapped out. With the suspension gone through this Chevy rides as
good as it looks. The inside has been treated to a set of bucket
seats with the Hurst bracket shifter placed in the perfect
position. The huge AutoMeter Tach allows for easy reading of the
RPM's with a back up shift light just in case your eyes wonder. If
you have been wanting a Hotrod but need a truck yet the idea of a
street strip vehicle is intriguing this ELCO is all of those
wrapped up in one sleek package. Options on this 1985 Chevrolet El
Camino include; AM/FM/Cassette, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Tilt
