Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1980
Chevrolet El Camino. The El Camino was Chevrolet's answer to Ford's
wildly popular Ranchero. Brought out in 1959 and based off the
Impala platform the first El Caminos were much bigger, and many say
nicer but did not sell as well as the Ranchero and production ended
just one year later. Just 4 years later though it would return, and
it seems as if Chevy got their stuff together finally with
production going clear into 1987. This 1980 is a great example of
what a lot of people are doing with these. First, they find one
that the body is in decent condition and drop a small block in it.
This El Camino fits that bill to a t. Gone is the original 305 and
in its place is the classic go to piece, a small block 350. This
one has only 5k miles on it since it was rebuilt, which is just
getting broke in. Backing that crate motor is a TH350 transmission
which complements the small block nicely. The exterior was painted
yellow with gray stripes. The custom chrome trim all around really
sets the color off and is a very subtle custom touch. The new
Cragar rims are covered in radial tires. Open the door and you will
see an interior that is a lot sportier than most El Camino's. The
bucket seats are in great condition with cloth interior. The custom
console is an excellent addition to this El Camino. The dash is all
original and unlike most is not cracked and broken. Options on this
1980 Chevrolet El Camino include, AC, AM/FM Radio, Lumbar Support,
Power Steering, Power Brakes, Power Locks, Cloth Interior, Power
Seats, Power Windows, Custom Wheels, Tilt, Seat Belts, and Rally
