For Sale: 1987 Chevrolet El Camino in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

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."

For consignment, a 1987 Chevrolet El Camino Conquista with a title verified 71,818 actual miles. This 305 four barrel car/truck remains in rare, original condition, a stunning time capsule of a bygone era and body style that needs to make a comeback!

Exterior
The distinctive two tone here is made up of Dark Chestnut Metallic and Light Chestnut Metallic, giving off a shimmering glow from its two stage application. The car side of the vehicle ends at the canted rear quarter window that is reflected in the brown C-pillar flowing seamlessly down to the bed, here flanked by side rails. Each brown band 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 its embedded plate. A solid rear window overlooks the soft tonneau bed cover and flying buttresses 15-inch Chevrolet Sport wheels are wrapped in 205/75R15 white wall tires and are adorned with a bowtie on the red center cap. Overall, the body, paint and metalwork are in great shape with few imperfections noted as some chips, blistering at wheel openings and along a rocker, and some deplating on the chrome bumper.

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 Fawn 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 with some minor crinkling of the plastic chrome trim. Fawn 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 a Delco AM/FM/Cassette player. With a column shifter, the floor is open and covered in tan carpet which flows over the transmission hump and is in nice condition. The felt headliner and visors are in great shape while we note a few cracks in the dash pad. The bed is spotless and covered with a fitted rubber mat.

Drivetrain
The bay is like a snapshot from 1987, clean and unmolested is a 305ci V8, rated at 150 horsepower and wearing a 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a 200R4 4-speed automatic transmission sending power to the 10 bolt rear axle with 2.56 gears. Power brakes, power steering, and air conditioning are on board.

Undercarriage
Not quite as clean as the engine bay, but it's not dirty either. It just has the typical surface rust and patina in a dry and mud free environment. Here, a single exhaust travels through a stock style muffler, the power brakes are divided as front disc and rear drum, and suspension includes coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in back.

Drive-Ability
The ultra comfortable interior feels like a familiar friend as we roll this part car part truck around the test loop. Smog and remnant malaise influence limits the horsepower but we have enough to get us around in a perfectly acceptable manner and of course, visibility is fantastic in the abbreviated cabin. We note the horn, power locks, and A/C don't work but all other functions on this well preserved El Camino work as they should. 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!
