Camino they touted the car's good looks, luxury and toughness in
one package, and that there was nothing quite like an ElCamino.
This particular ElCamino ticks all the boxes that Chevy mentions!
This is a gorgeous ElCamino, offering a 396ci V8 mated to a Muncie
M20, bucket seats, console, solid and straight body, and all
finished in the original color combination. What's not to like?!
This car was purchased in September of 1995 as a restoration
project. The body received a good amount of attention, receiving a
number of NOS GM parts to bring it back to its former glory. Rear
quarter panels, front outer wheel housings, passenger's side door
skin, bed moulding set, wheel well moulding set, and ElCamino
Emblems were all NOS parts that our client procured and carefully
replaced on the car through the restoration process. In addition,
the gas tank and hood hinges were replaced as the restoration
progressed. Once the body was finished and deemed ready for paint
it was sprayed in the original Cranberry Red (code 75) with a Black
Vinyl Top (code B). A Cowl Induction hood was added, and black
stripes finish off the body. Centerline billet aluminum wheels
wrapped in BFGoodrich white letter tires, and the slight rake give
the car a nice stance. Inside this ElCamino is a very nicely
finished interior consisting of the original black trim (code 756)
with bucket seats, a center console, and a crisp dashboard that has
what looks to be the original radio mounted in it. Under the cowl
induction hood is a '71 350hp 396ci V8 mated to a Muncie M20
transmission. A few mods have been made to the engine in the form
of an Edelbrock Intake Manifold, Holley 750 Carb, Mallory
Distributor, Comp Cam, and custom 2.5 exhaust. When our client
brought the car in for us to list, he brought us a large stack of
paperwork documenting parts and service. This gentleman keeps great
records of his vehicles, including writing down the date he brings
vehicles home, when a vehicle is started for the first time after a
restoration, and receipts for even the simplest of parts. This is a
clean, crisp car that is ready for a new home after 25 years with
one owner. As Chevy put it in their ad campaigns, 'There's nothing
like an ElCamino'. Be sure to check out all the photos and video on
