Vehicle Description
You can get a classic 1968 Chevrolet El Camino with an enhanced
small-block and all blacked-out for under $20K?!?! So you can keep
reading for all the details, but you already know this one is going
fast.
The great thing about an El Camino was that it was supposed to be
adaptable for everything. This was the one vehicle that could go to
church on Sunday, and run a bale of hay from the fields on Monday.
Along the way, something else got added into the mix...attitude.
With El Caminos getting caught up in the muscle car war that was
consuming its Chevelle sibling, they became the baddest truck/car
around. 1968 was a particularly mean-looking year for the El
Camino, and it's only enhanced further by the custom work on this
one. The styling was updated to give the front overhang that look
of angry eyebrows. The SS grille is blacked out for a more sinister
appearance. This dark attitude is continued over the blacked-out
bumpers and trim. Even the truck bed has been give a dose of mean
attitude with a tough dark liner paint. In fact, the only real
hints of color on this is the gunmetal gray of the American racing
Torq Thrust wheels and the red taillights - that's very sinister
indeed!
The interior is so deep, dark, and black, that even the windows
have a limo grade tint. The black vinyl on the bench seat is in
fine condition, and the door panels, dash, and carpeting reinforce
this midnight cruiser attitude. All of this black makes the chrome
touches on the three-spoke wheel, door handles, glovebox, and other
trim pieces really stand out. This might be a brute, but it still
has nice features like heat/defrost and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo. The driver gets a commanding view, and the custom Equus
gauge package, which lets you know there's something nice under the
hood.
The engine bay is one of the few touches of color in this all-black
El Camino. The blue block of the 350 cubic-inch V8, aluminum valve
covers, and chrome alternator make for nice standouts under the
hood. But more than look good, this small block has been enhanced
with an Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and we
suspect a Comp Cam. It produces plenty of power, and the rumble
from the glasspack dual exhaust lets the world know it, too. This
El Camino might be designed to be an intimidator, but it also has
some built-in comfort advantages. The El Camino utilizes Chevelle
suspension components for a more luxurious ride. Add in power
steering, power brakes, and a TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission, and you won't be afraid to take this aggressor
anywhere.
This is the perfect El Camino to enjoy as both a classic and a
functional pickup. And when you can do it all at an affordable
price, this turnkey bad boy won't be hanging around here long. Call
