Vehicle Description
This 1979 Chevrolet El Camino makes for a fun project with a proper
small block at its heart. So whether you have a dream build already
in mind or just know you want to restore something fun, you'll see
this is a nice foundation.
This has the proper look of a speed machine. The front end
announces it's something different with aggressive pieces like a
cowl hood and hood pins. Plus, the light beige with hugger orange
racing stripes painted on top looks like some of our favorite
classic power Chevys. The rear looks smoother with a custom
tailgate and custom louvered bumper. It all makes for a distinct
style where you combine this with the value price to have a nice
base for your custom classic. We see this as a foundation because
the fit and finish of this El Camino are far from perfect. But you
don't need to be paying extra when you already know you're going to
make changes to create your ideal street machine. And this one
really shows there has been an eye for the fundamentals, including
a new spray-in bedliner and newer tires on those bright American
Racing Outlaw-style wheels.
The interior is quite basic, but it does give you the right
driver-oriented features and upgrades. For example, the seats are
now comfortable high-back buckets, and you even have cup holders
and an armrest console in-between. The upgraded woodgrain sports
steering wheel is on a tilt column, and there's now a tach
centrally mounted as your solo readout to focus your attention. The
center section now has white-faced auxiliary gauges, a toggle
switch panel, and a B&M Quicksilver shifter. This kind of setup
already feels like a pro street machine, and so it's fun to drive
today and get ideas for where you want to take it in the
future.
Under the hood is proper small block power with Chevy's 350
cubic-inch V8. There are nice investments like a Demon four-barrel
carburetor, a Holley Street Dominator aluminum intake, and headers
feeding the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. It makes for a
strong cruiser today, and we bet you know how to do some weekend
tinkering to unleash some serious power. Plus, we like how this is
built to be a solid powerhouse with features like an HEI
distributor and an electric fan. There are also easy-driving
features such as power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a
three-speed automatic transmission.
This is the classic El Camino that has you dreaming about what you
can build with a nice base and plenty of cash left in the budget.
