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.
Showcasing the iconic coupe utility silhouette that is truly like no other vehicle from the period, this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino wears a dark blue paint coat. The paint gleams in the sunshine, aided by the chrome bumpers and chromed hubcaps. Then, you’ve got quad headlamps, ample badging, and further chrome detailing to enjoy. Chrome was in ample supply in the sixties after all; every car had to have it to be relevant. Meanwhile, the truck bed appears to be in great condition, as do all external lighting lenses. Clearly, this vehicle has received ample TLC.. The interior of this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino is said to be new, with the seats reportedly reupholstered. The dash is also said to be new, but the steering wheel remains the original unit, we’ve been informed. Once you’re settled in there, it’s a veritable sixties time capsule, with great visibility, an ample glasshouse, and that thin-rimmed steering wheel to grip.
Powering this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino is a rebuilt 283ci V8 that should give you plenty of grunt, paired with a great classic engine note. Power goes to the rear wheels through a rebuilt automatic transmission. The vehicle also sports power steering, and new disc brakes for better stopping power. The suspension is also reported to be new, so you can easily enjoy this vehicle.

The El Camino has got to be Chevy’s most famous Coupe Utility, or Ute. The idea of a Coupe Utility isn’t new to the El Camino; in fact it means a single-cab pickup truck built on a car platform and sporting a unibody construction. You can see that in the El Camino and other Coupe Utilities, where a traditional pickup truck would have a break between the passenger cabin and cargo bed, a Coupe Utility simply combines them into a seamless shape and structure. Today, we have a third generation 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod for sale from Lincoln, Illinois. As the name suggests, it’s got some neat upgrades. These include a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated LT1 V8, a 4L60E autobox, a reupholstered interior and many more things. If you’d like to take on this vehicle that’s got only 1,090 miles on it since rebuilding, talk to us and we can help.
Blending muscle car performance with pickup utility, the Chevrolet El Camino carved out a unique place in American automotive history. This 1979 example, finished in bright red over a tan vinyl interior, is powered by a 350ci V8 with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor paired to a 4-speed manual transmission. Restored in 2017 and showing 84,123 miles, it features tasteful upgrades such as an MSD ignition, Monte Carlo dashboard, and 10-bolt GM differential with 4.11 gears, making it both a capable performer and a stylish classic.
Chevy introduced the El Camino in 1964 to compete with the Ford Ranchero. It has always captivated our attention as one of the most distinctive American cars of all time. The fifth generation of the El Camino, which our subject car is from, marked the end of this folk hero of a car. The death of the El Camino was a somber one, though there have been rumors Chevy's going to bring it back. For now, we have well-preserved examples like this 1986 Chevrolet El Camino to enjoy the peculiarity of this model. It has over 146,000 miles on it and reportedly has all its maintenance up to date.
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

Are you the sort of person who prefers a classic off-roader rather than a car? Do you want your classic off-roader to have real off-roading chops, a fine legacy of dependability and come from a well-known American brand? If so, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 is perfect. Hailing from the illustrious Jeep CJ – that’s Civilian Jeep – legacy, the CJ was created shortly after World War II ended. Willys-Overland, the ones behind the popular Military Jeep knew that without war, their main customer wouldn’t be buying nearly as many vehicles from them. So, they switched gears and made the Jeep CJ, a tough, no-nonsense off-roader aimed at farmers and tradespersons who needed a simple vehicle with guts and four-wheel drive. This vehicle comes from the CJ-5 era which ran between 1954 and 1983. With its naturally aspirated V6, manual gearbox and aftermarket exhaust system, this 1958 Jeep CJ-5 has only done 167 miles since its thorough makeover.
Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
