Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista
"The Conquista package consisted of a striking paint and molding
treatment. The basic body color appears on the roof, and upper
portion of pickup box, lower body sides, and tailgate. The center
section of the body side, the hood and lower portion of the
tailgate are set off by a special accent color. Also featured are
bright paint break moldings along the upper side of pickup box, and
tailgate; bright moldings along lower side of body and over wheel
openings. The "Conquista" logo decal was located towards the right
hand lower portion of the tailgate on the 1978 model, and from 1979
& up they were relocated to the right hand upper portion of the
gate." Thx Elcohaulicssanonymous.com
For consignment, a 1987 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista with a title
verified 73,632 actual miles and in the past three years, a
recipient of a new alternator, carburetor, distributor, radiator,
and A/C system. It will come to the new owner with the build sheet,
invoices of repairs, and the owner's manual.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by

highways in your area.*
Exterior
The distinctive two tone here is made up of Silver and Dark Gray,
giving off a satin glow from its single stage application. The car
side of the vehicle ends at the canted rear quarter window that is
reflected in the gray C-pillar that flows seamlessly down to the
bed, here flanked by side cargo rails. Each gray line is partnered
with stainless trim which adds even more layers to the two tone
configuration, and the rear bumper takes in the tail lights down
low below the smooth tailgate with embedded plate. Here's where we
find dual exhaust tips and can look out over the soft tonneau bed
to cover the contours to the curved rear glass. 14-inch wheels are
wrapped in 205/70R14 tires and are adorned with a bowtie on the red
center cap. Overall, the body, paint and metal are in good shape.
Imperfections include bubbles, mismatched patches, and fillers that
have heavily chipping paint.
Interior
It may have an unusual shape on the outside, but the inside is
right out of the GM playbook, starting with the door panels in gray
vinyl and carpeted kick panels that could have been borrowed from
any Monte Carlo or Regal of the day, and both here are in great
shape. Gray velour buckets have tufted panels and extra side
pillowing more for comfort than support, and a center armrest
stowed out of the way when not in use or to make room for your
significant other to shimmy over. The quintessential 80's steering
wheel leads to a nicely appointed but basic gauge cluster, black on
black with red needles, white writing, and orange in places of
caution, like at 55 mph. The center stack is the GM box with A/C
levers over an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player. With a column shifter,
the floor is open and covered in gray carpet which flows over the
transmission hump and is in nice condition. The felt headliner and
visors show some typical sag and indentations. The bed is rough
coated and in generally clean condition.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a clean 305ci V8, topped by an Edelbrock 4-barrel
carburetor and rated at 150 horsepower. It's mated to a 200R4
4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt rear
with 2.56 gears. Power brakes are supplied as front discs and rear
drums.
Undercarriage
Heavy metals are coated with typical surface rust on the otherwise
dry underside where dual exhaust runs in tandem through FlowMaster
mufflers before finding their way out back via chrome tips. There
is no catalytic converter on board. Suspension consists of coil
springs in front and a 4 link with coil springs in the back. We
note some light rust at the pinch welds on the door bottoms.
Drive-Ability
"Business up front, party in the back!" Or is it the other way
around? Either way, this cabin is like an abbreviated G-body with
no kids in the back seat to distract us. The El Camino pulls nicely
with plenty of power for commutes, but red light warriors might see
some goose eggs in the win column. But she does have a nice rumble
and the only thing we find not working in the horn. While Classic
Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time
of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be
working at the time of your purchase.
Using some of our 10th grade Spanish, we learned El Camino
translates to the path and Conquista means Conquest. So, if you're
ready to conquer the path ahead of you and do so in the now
legendary car/truck configuration that's been imitated but never
duplicated, pick up this Conquista and have yourself a collectible
with a bed!
