Vehicle Description
This 1979 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is the kind of
fully-coordinated package that was made to show off every inch
(seriously, just look at the undercarriage photos.) So it's the
kind of car specifically for people who love watching their vehicle
draw people in from just a small passing glance. So if you like a
ton of attention, and probably some awards, keep reading for all
the details.
Sleekness is a central theme to this El Camino's exterior. Some of
it is part of the custom work, like the shaved door handles. Other
areas are elements that came from Chevy, like the rear lights
integrated into the bumper that gives this such a smooth tailgate.
That's what makes this the ideal starting point for a full custom
build. Some parts of the restoration were about getting factory
pieces looking their best - that's how you get mirror-like bumpers
and trim. But there's also a ton of well-integrated attitude with
the Boyd Coddington 17-inch wheels, hood pins, and the power bulge
of the cowl hood. And it's all dipped in an awesome shade of green
that looks so dark it could almost pass for black in some lights.
But get this paint in the sunshine, and it loves to pop with a
terrific gloss.
You'll attract attention just by opening the doors of this Chevy,
because it is sporting remote poppers activated by a key fob. And
because people will want to get a good look inside, this one
continues to impress. While a factory car has plenty of plastics,
they seem to cover nearly all of it in gray and green tweed. More
of the thoughtful packaging is seen as the two colors are
intertwined on the dash, door panels, and seats. In fact, speaking
of the seats, they are a full custom addition with modern sport
buckets. There are ton of terrific comfort upgrades, like a
sunroof, R134a air conditioning (will need servicing), and an
AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input to plug in your phone. There are
plenty more sporty details with the custom steering wheel on a tilt
column, full auxiliary gauge package (including tach) on the custom
center console, and a B&M shifter. Don't forgot about the truck
bed, because they didn't either! It's upholstered in the same
detail-oriented tweed with green inserts as the interior to give
this a wow factor you don't see in many other custom builds.
With all the custom details inside and out, you better believe the
engine bay was done with an award-worthy style, too. The inner
walls are smooth and finished in the exterior's green. So they
funnel you attention to the shining motor in the middle. This is a
350 cubic-inch V8 upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, an aluminum intake, and headers. The undercarriage
photos not only show you how straight the exhaust pipes are, but
also they let you see how everything is either dark green, bright
white, or polished (right down to the springs!) If you do ever take
this custom out on the open road, it has the right easy driving
features, like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front.
You know this was a thoroughly detailed build, and the sale even
comes with photos that document it. So if you're ready to own a
next-level custom, don't let this Chevy slip away. Call now!
