Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to have this 1984 Chevrolet
El Camino SS Choo Choo! These Choo Choo El Caminos are highly
desirable and hard to come by. They were sent from Chevrolet to
Choo Choo customs for the appearance package install. The original
El Camino SS was produced by Choo Choo Customs for GM from mid-1983
until the El Camino series was discontinued at the end of 1987. In
addition to the aerodynamic nose treatment that was the primary
styling feature of all El Camino SSs, all vehicles received
graphics on the fascia, doors and tailgate, and a small chrome
train logo above the glove compartment door. Vehicles manufactured
in 1987 also have a Choo Choo Customs logo with train on the front
fascia and tailgate. A limited number of El Camino SS had
aerodynamic-ground effect style side exhausts with rectangular
chrome exits, including this one. Early El Camino SS until mid-1985
used aluminum body side molding with a machine-turned center and
two vinyl inserts running full length of the molding. Later El
Camino SS used a more rounded style body side molding. Some
vehicles used factory side molding and fender well trim. Many El
Camino SS were equipped with aluminum wheels. Early vehicles had
center caps with styling holes. Later vehicles featured solid
center caps. Aluminum cargo rails were also installed on numerous
vehicles. There was a total of 4,950 Choo Choo El Caminos built
from 1983 to 1987! This information comes from the National El
Camino Owners Association. This beauty is claimed to be a survivor
with only 1000 miles since the rebuild on crate 350 CID V8 engine.
It has then ben linked up to a smooth shifting 3-speed
Turbo-Hydramatic automatic. Options include: aluminum alloy wheels,
radial tires, AM/ FM/Cassette, cloth interior, power brakes, power
steering, power locks, power windows, power steering, seat belts
