Vehicle Description
This 1985 Chevrolet El Camino has an extra dose of attitude in its
style, and there's a well-built small block upgrade to back that
up, too. But while it wants to be a SS tribute, features like the
overdrive transmission, air conditioning, and a comfy interior
shows that it's an all-around great cruiser, too.
The SS badging announces that this El Camino wants to have a proper
Super Sport style, and so black paint is the right place to start.
After all, no color is meaner. And this darker style is done with
good details, like the black tonneau cover and deeply tinted
windows. It's nothing too fancy because the real reason to be
sportier is to have some fun out on the streets. And pieces like
the bright dual exhaust tips and upgraded torque thrust wheels show
that kind of attitude, too. But an El Camino is also a true pickup,
and so pieces like the liner paint in the bed and a proper trailer
hitch make this quite a useful classic.
The interior keeps up the Super Sport feeling with the redline dash
you'd seen in a Monte Carlo SS of the era. But while that gives the
look and aggressive touch, what you'll really enjoy inside is all
the comfort this one offers. You have a plush velour seat that can
sit three across, or you can fold down the armrest for a more
bucket-like individuality. Power windows, power locks, and an
upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo w/USB input make for a comfortable
cruiser. The cold-blowing air condition was even recently serviced.
Chevy's dual-spoke steering wheel is on a tilt column, and so that
gives you a clear view of the full gauge package with large speed
and tach.
Under the hood is proper V8 power. This has been upgraded later in
life to a 350 cubic-inch crate V8 - a displacement larger than what
the factory was offering in 1985. More than just added size, this
has an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and a
sweet-sounding H-pipe dual exhaust. This upgrade gives you an extra
hit of power for all driving conditions. And a truck like this
really was built to cruise. After all, it rides on a smoother car
chassis and has power steering, power brakes, and front discs. You
even have a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly
overdrive.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the owner's
manual. This is Super Sport style in an all-around solid driving
package. So at a price like this, you know you need to call
today!
