For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is a show stopping 1960
Chevrolet El Camino. Call it a truck, call it a car, call it
whatever you like. We call this vehicle awesome. Starting with the
extravagant styling of the late 50's and early 60's, 1300 hours of
labor went into custom body work, ensuring that the lines are laser
straight and the paint is glass smooth. A couple touches most
people will miss is that the chrome down the side of the car has
been removed with the channel for it painstakingly filled and
smoothed, and the 59 Cadillac taillights.. There is custom
pinstriping throughout the body, and the steel gray with black roof
has a lot of curb appeal. The Boyd Coddington wheels are a one-off
set, 20" in the front, 22" in the rear. Underneath, the one-off
parts continue with a custom made Art Morrison Chassis with a Super
Delux front end. There is a Strange 9 in. rear end with 3.73 gears,
and 4 link setup with coilovers at all four corners. The rear end
has been tubbed as well. Willwood discs at all 4 corners cap off a
package that makes a surprisingly great handling car for this size.
Of course, you don't build a chassis like this if you don't plan on
moving around quickly. That is why there is a Blueprint Engines 383
CID Stroker hiding under the custom forward tilt hood. Making 430
hp, and 460 ft. lbs. of torque, it is plenty of motivation for this
big hot rod. The engine is supported by an aluminum radiator with
an electric fan, Sanderson headers, and 3" stainless steel exhaust
with Magnaflow mufflers. Behind that is the time tested TH350
automatic transmission. Inside is a very comfortable place to
command the road from, with custom leather bucket seats, and
alligator accents all around. The Vintage Air keeps things cool and
comfortable, while the power rack and pinion steering and tilt
column make steering effortless. With just 2,530 miles since all of
this incredible work was done, this fresh and ready to run. To view
