For Sale: 1982 Chevrolet El Camino in North East, Pennsylvania

1982 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista For Sale This 1982 Chevrolet El Camino wears the Conquista trim, the appearance-oriented package that sat near the top of Chevy's car-based pickup line during the G-body years. This one has been turned into a street-focused restomod, finished in newer metallic maroon over a matching maroon interior, and built around a fresh small-block that was clearly the centerpiece of the project.Power comes from a BluePrint 383 stroker V8, said to have less than 5,000 miles on it, topped with BluePrint cylinder heads and a Holley carburetor. Long tube headers feed a true dual exhaust, and a Cold Case aluminum radiator handles cooling. Behind the engine is a TH350 three-speed automatic with a B&M shifter, sending power to a rear end with 3.73 gears. It's a torque-first combination: the 383 makes its power down low, the TH350 is a simple and durable automatic, and the 3.73 ratio biases the car toward acceleration and around-town response rather than highway rpm.Underneath, the rear suspension has been upgraded with UMI Performance rear control arms and pan hard bar, a common and worthwhile improvement on these G-bodies for tightening up the factory geometry. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums; the front pads currently measure 8/32, the rear shoes 5/32, and all four tires measure 10/32. LED headlights bring the lighting up to modern standards. Inside, the maroon bucket seats and carpet are clean and in great shape, and the driver has a full set of Bosch gauges monitoring volts, water temperature, and oil pressure, along with a Bosch tach. This is a factory air conditioning car, though it does not currently have working A/C.Altogether it's a straightforward, well-sorted El Camino restomod: a fresh low-mileage stroker and supporting hardware, a clean maroon-on-maroon presentation, and a few sensible chassis and lighting updates, aimed at someone who wants a G-body they can drive and enjoy rather than a project to finish.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic, modified, and luxury vehicles.
