With the cargo room of a truck, and car-like proportions and
styling, the El Camino was appealing to those who needed some extra
hauling abilities sometimes, and driving a truck full time wasn't
something they wanted to do. Like the earlier iterations of El
Camino, this '70 has attractive styling, and isn't as big and boxy
as the standard pickup offerings at the time. This particular El
Camino has been updated to have a sportier look and feel rather
than that of a utilitarian vehicle. Sure the bed can still be used
to haul things, but this car was built to haul down the freeway -
or from traffic light to traffic light if you so choose. A
completely rebuilt 350ci V8 under the hood, power brakes, power
steering, and a tidy interior are just a few of the specs that are
notable in making this El Camino a great cruiser. The car had been
painted at some point a number of years ago in a color similar to
the Matador Red which was offered by Chevy at the time this car
rolled off the assembly line. This car originally left the Kansas
City factory finished in Black Cherry. The original lines and trim
have been maintained on the exterior. The paint is a basecoat and
clearcoat and really shines right up with an even gloss throughout.
All trim and chrome shows extremely well, underneath the bed cover
is a clean, straight bed that is free of scratches. The interior
hides a few nicely integrated upgrades that were added by our
client. Dakota Digital gauges have been neatly integrated into the
gauge cluster, a USB charger takes the place of the cigarette
lighter, and a Classic Auto Sound radio has been installed in place
of the stock radio. When adding the aforementioned items, our
client took the whole dashboard assembly out of the car to clean up
the wiring behind, clean the dashboard, and add new dash vents. A
bench seat finished in black cloth with black carpeting and trim is
just the way the car rolled out of the factory. As we've mentioned,
the interior is tidy and a great place to be when cruising in this
classic El Camino. Under the hood is a recently rebuilt 350ci V8
that has a number of nice upgrades made to the powerplant. The
engine was bored .030 over and now has new pistons, Eagle rods,
Speed Pro mild cam, all new valves, new distributor, 8mm spark plug
wires, HEI ignition, and FiTech Fuel Injection. In the looks
department, chrome valve covers, chrome air cleaner, dual plane
aluminum intake manifold, and shorty headers, are easy to spot in
the tidy engine bay. The numbers matching transmission remains in
place in the transmission tunnel. A nice stance is achieved with a
combination of Hotchkiss front lowering springs, and Chevelle coil
spring setup in the rear. 20-inch front and 18-inch rear Ridler
chrome wheels are wrapped in sticky tires, and help to make this
classic more irresistible to the eyes. The underside is very clean
and features a number of new parts including a pair of Flo-Pro
mufflers, new brake lines, new fuel tank, inner and outer tie rods,
and stabilizer bars. This is an awesome classic Chevy that's been
gone through front to back with a number of great features and
upgrades. This car is ready for you to enjoy, and turn some heads
while doing so. Be sure to check out all the photos and
