For Sale: 1959 Chevrolet El Camino in Lutz, Florida

Owning a truly unique and well-done classic car is a feeling like nothing else in the world. You feel stronger, you make friends quicker, and life just becomes better with one turn of the key. Take a good look at this 1959 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod, because this is precisely what we're talking about, and you're almost guaranteed not to see another one like it anytime soon. Fully repainted in a beautifully ethereal Turquoise Mist, this first-year El Camino shows us why Chevy's response to the Ford Ranchero was such a raving success. With its big fins, straight lines, and stunning polished American Racing wheels, this half-car, half-truck is ready to haul in whichever way your heart desires.

Inside, we find an interior as captivating as the exterior. With its two-tone turquoise and white split-bench seat and matching door panels, this Elco sports an expansive dashboard filled with all the necessities, without ever looking cluttered. A trick power-assisted, banjo-style Grant steering wheel sits just in front of a five-pod gauge cluster featuring a large, center-mounted 120 mph speedometer flanked by two auxiliary gauges on either side. The Classic Car Stereo AM/FM head unit is a sneaky upgrade, sitting in the original radio's factory location, but giving away its age once its digital readout comes alive.

Pop open that expansive hood, and snugly tucked between those front fenders, we find a transplanted 5.7-liter LS1 V-8. With its lightweight aluminum block and heads, 10.25:1 compression ratio, and composite intake manifold, the first-generation LS1scored well into the 300s for both horsepower and torque, making it a robust centerpiece to build any classic car around. That power is funneled through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before being sent to the rear end, where it is transferred to the tarmac via those aforementioned stunning 17-inch Torq Thrust II wheels, shod in big 275/40ZR-17 Nitto rubber. At the same time, a narrower set of 245/45ZR-17 NT555s handle steering duties, while the true-dual exhaust announces this El Camino's arrival with a sound only a late-model small block can make.
