Vehicle Description
We know you already love the look of a deep, dark 1968 Chevrolet El
Camino, but look a little closer at this one. This highly restored
example has all the right upgrades, like an amazing
performance-built big block with about 200 miles on the rebuild,
four-wheel disc brakes, and a setup for modern A/C. So you soon
realize something that looks this good can also deliver everything
you want in a classic.
The only thing this El Camino looks like it was meant to do is haul
on asphalt. The slick black paint has the kind of luster that so
nicely complements the shine on the grille, window trim, and around
the truck bed. You can really tell there was a nice investment in
making sure everything was straight so the shine could remain even.
The '68 cars had a meaner attitude, where the front end had an
overhang like a furrowed brow. And when you combine them with the
mirror-like wide chrome bumper up front, it gives this classic the
look like it always has a menacing smile (and once you drive it,
you'll know exactly why!) This shiny but sinister attitude is seen
everywhere, right down to the details like the dual cowl hood, bed
cover, and large 17-inch American Racing Torq Thrust wheels.
Just like the outside, the interior has a dark side. As a restored
El Camino, you can tell that if the seats, carpeting, door panels,
or headliner was not up to standard, it was replaced with the
correct material to makes sure it reinforces this quality midnight
cruiser attitude. But this is not a complete sea of darkness. All
the black makes special elements, like the auxiliary gauge package,
and the wood and chrome Chevy sports steering wheel standout. You
have all the right upgrades for a great driver such as a tach and
full system for modern R134a air conditioning. There's even an
AM/FM cassette stereo, but we really know your favorite soundtrack
will be the one that starts under the hood.
You're going to love showing off the engine bay. Just like the
exterior, it continues that black and chrome theme as it fills the
entire space with big block power. With only 200 miles on this
monster since being built, and the 427 cubic-inch motor has been
bored out for even more power. The full performance rebuild
includes components like a Eagle forged crank, Eagle I-beam rods,
new pistons & rings, BBC performance cam bearings, stainless
valves, Lunati big block cam, Lunati lifter spring kit, aluminum
rocker arms, aluminum heads, MSD Streetfire ignition, Weiand
stealth intake, and a Holley double-pumper 850 carburetor. This
connects to the long tube headers that feed the rumbling H-pipe
dual exhaust. And making sure you have the right power to back up
this sound is a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission,
with a stall kit, to keep you in the optimal powerband. Oh yeah,
this is an El Camino built to be just as forceful as it looks. But
because power is nothing without control, you have power steering,
Sumitomo HTR-Z performance tires, and a four-wheel disc brake
package with slotted and vented rotors.
This is the perfect El Camino that looks mean on the outside, and
has more than enough power to back up this image. Complete with
build receipts, a quality restored classic like this is always
going to attract attention, so you know you have to hurry if you
want to take it home. Call now!!
