Restoration & Condition

The restoration was completed around 2000, and since then, only about 2,000 miles have been added. The car has also received a comprehensive servicing from a Chevy specialist earlier this year to ensure it’s in perfect running condition.

The factory-installed A/C system, using period-correct GM parts, ensures a comfortable ride even on the hottest days.

According to the seller, this El Camino “turns heads, elicits photos, rings ears, and spins tires at will” – a true testament to its power and presence. Whether you’re taking it out for a weekend cruise or showing it off at a car meet, this El Camino delivers the performance and excitement you’d expect from a muscle car of its caliber.
