Details

This custom 1979 Chevrolet El Camino is powered by a ZZ4 350ci V8 crate engine putting out approximately 350hp and topped with an aluminum intake and Holley 4-barrel carburetor. Ceramic-coated headers have been added, along with a dual-exit stainless exhaust in the rear. For ease of use in all conditions, this El Camino benefits from the addition of air conditioning, power disc brakes and power steering, as well as the desirable serpentine belt upgrade for added reliability. The suspension was updated with front and rear anti-roll bars and a set of chrome 17-inch 5-spoke American Racing wheels have been installed. A large part of the restoration consisted of custom body and paintwork, which was professionally finished, and the dark blue metallic presents in near-show-quality condition. The door handles and body moldings were all shaved for a smoother look and the chrome bumpers were also smoothed out. SuperSport mirrors were added along with a custom color-matched fiberglass tonneau cover, which gives the car a sleek look. The interior was upgraded with reclining race-style seats and a 1970 Chevelle center console with the correct horseshoe shifter. A billet steering wheel connected to a tilt steering column has been installed, and the El Camino is also equipped with power windows. This El Camino is the recipient of a recent service. A restoration binder and receipts, two keys and two door remotes are included with the sale. It has just over $80,000 in receipts for custom touches and has 1,491 miles after the full restoration, which was completed in 2016.
