1980 Model Year Chevrolet El Camino
A pretty interesting vehicle segment is the coupe utility. When Chevrolet introduced the El Camino in 1959, it was peculiar as Chevy adapted their two-door station wagon into a cab and cargo bed into the body. Safe to say Chevrolet's gamble paid off, as evident with the El Caminos production run lasting till 1987 and five generations under its belt. The El Camino's eloquent amalgamation of practicality and luxury made it so popular. The fifth-generation El Camino was produced from 1978 to 1987 and had a new design compared to the previous generations. This 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod, with just 500 miles on the build, is up for grabs, and some tasty upgrades are also thrown in.
This particular 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is adorned in a custom dual-tone black and Root Beer color for the exterior, which we love! The seller reports a new chrome trim has been applied for the interior and exterior. The front features a horizontal slat grille in chrome with rectangular headlights. A massive reverse hood scoop is visible on the hood as well. The rear features a clean design, with the taillights embedded into the rear bumper. Visible from the rear is the custom exhaust pipes swerving to either side of the vehicle, just behind the rear wheels. Shaved side markers are reported on the car as well. It sits on a set of US Mags Y-5-spoke chrome-painted wheels and matching lug nuts. Matching the exterior is a black interior design with scattered chrome trim pieces. The dashboard has been converted to a digital but needs to be calibrated as reported by the seller. Keeping the temperature exact is a new R134A AV evaporator, heater core, A/C compressor, accumulator, drier hoses, and retrofitted to a serpentine belt, as reported by the seller.
Chevrolet offered the fifth-generation El Camino with a wide range of engine options. This 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is equipped with none of them but comes with a 355ci Small Block V8 engine mated to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission with a shift kit, as reported. Aluminum headers have been installed, along with a Hughes 2500 stall converter by the seller. The rear end has been completely rebuilt with a 3.42 gearing reported. Stopping power is enhanced by the new master cylinder and brake booster, while the front features lowering springs.
One of the most curious American cars of the ’60s is the Chevy El Camino. It's a coupe utility that is the offspring that results from the marriage of a station wagon and a pickup truck. In fact, that’s how Chevy built it: a standard Chevrolet two-door station wagon with an enclosed passenger cabin and an open cargo area. Made over five generations, the El Camino has also become something of a cult muscle car hero due to its unconventional body style and unexpected performance when stuffed with a proper American V8. This particular 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS is a great way to experience a fast coupe utility, or "Ute" as the Australians call them. This particular vehicle is from the third generation and has undergone a full rotisserie frame-off restoration, we’re told. Now, this big-block toting machine waits peacefully in New Jersey until it finds a new owner. That could be you!
When Ford saw success with its Ranchero, it wasn’t long before Chevrolet came up with the El Camino. The basic principles are rather simple: a two-door car-like body at the front and a practical cargo bed at the back. For the El Camino’s third generation, it was based on the popular Chevelle and shared its wheelbase and overall length with the Chevelle sedan and station wagon. This is likely the version of the El Camino you’re most familiar with, as it serves as a much-loved base for meticulous restorations and detailed restomods across the US. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet El Camino has been completely restored. The owner reports that the project started as a stripped-down shell at a farm before it was further stripped and glass bead blasted. It now features a 496ci engine with a custom drivetrain and sits on coilovers.
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
Nearly approaching twenty years of age, this sixth-generation or C6 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible is an excellent way to set yourself up for the future. You see, the C6 generation brought significant changes to the Corvette, in the form of a larger passenger cabin, a lower and meaner stance, a more powerful engine, and much more when it debuted for the 2005 model year. These cars are not too old that you’ll have to forego modern comforts, but they will enter the classic category in a decade or so. That’s why a car like this 25,473-miler from Naples, Florida, is a great buy. It’s not only a fantastic drop-top sports car from a signature American automaker, but it’s sure to appreciate as an investment too, as long as its properly maintained.
A Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is typically thought of as a workhorse that belongs on a construction site or farm. However, this particular 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 is here to prove the stereotypes wrong. This custom build is a showpiece that has been upgraded inside and out. According to the current owner, this Silverado has seen 54,903 miles so far but has received an engine rebuilt less than 6,000 miles ago. It awaits in Lindenhurst, New York to become its next owners' pride and joy.
Named after the opulent California neighborhood of Bel Air, Chevy’s Bel Air was definitely aimed at those who want to feel posh. Introduced as a full-size car in 1949, the Bel Air was made until 1975 in the United States, running up to 1981 in Canada. First generation Bel Airs, such as this 74,475-mile 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air 4-Door Sedan are always ideal for those wishing to dabble in owning classics. This particular car is up for sale in Westminster, California, and has got some new parts to bring it back up to near-factory condition. Why not check it out, after all it’s a classic that will be relatively easy to maintain given that the Bel Air was quite popular in its heyday.
