Vehicle Description
This 1978 Chevrolet El Camino has been given all the right
investments, including extra bright paint, a comfy A/C interior,
and a rebuilt V8 and transmission. So yes, every so often you can
get everything you want in a distinctive classic without having to
break the bank.
The custom application of bright orange is a great way to grab
attention, and the modern clearcoat shine helps us appreciate the
sleek and sporty lines of the final-gen El Camino. Plus, the bright
grille, clean bumpers, and thin trim around the bed all add to this
car's quality appearance. Chevy really gave this a terrific style
everywhere you look. Even the rear has a smooth wraparound
appearance with a license plate that looks like it was frenched
into the tailgate. But as nice as these El Caminos are, they are
still pickups. This one likes to emphasize that with handy
features, like liner paint in the bed and a proper trailer
hitch.
The interior has a tasteful look with plenty of rich black and some
wood-like trim breaking up the darkness. When you sit down on the
comfy velour split bench, you immediately start to see all the
right features a at your fingertips. This has power windows, power
locks, and the factory air conditioning has been converted to
R134a. The stereo is an upgraded AM/FM/CD unit with fold-out
touchscreen to control handy features such as Bluetooth and the
provisions for a backup camera. The GT Grant steering wheel on tilt
column, and it gives you a nice view of the upgraded Dakota Digital
gauges, including speedo and tach.
Under the hood is Chevy's stout 350 cubic-inch V8. We have a long
receipt file from the last few years documenting plenty of work
that went into this small block. This includes a full comprehensive
and professional rebuild (call for the full parts list.) The V8
fires up nicely as it inhales through a proper four-barrel
carburetor. It's setup to be an easy all-day cruiser with features
such as a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power
brakes with discs up front, and the nice car-like ride of the
Malibu chassis.
This is a standout classic with all the right features, and it's
offered for a terrific price. Don't miss you chance. Call
