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.
The exterior of this 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS has reportedly been through a thorough frame-off restoration, with the owner reporting that — in addition to it being glass bead blasted — special attention has been paid to areas you may not usually see. The underside has been painted, as too has the engine area and the door jambs. The owner also reports many replacement parts as well. The old tailgate is reportedly included in the sale, while the owner tells us that they have a new one as well. The interior is reported as all-new, evidenced by the polythene-wrapped cream-colored seats. The rest of the interior has been trimmed in the same shade, including the doors and the head lining. There’s a deep-dish three-spoke steering wheel presented to the driver, with a wooden rim and polished chrome spokes, along with an SS center badge. Behind the wheel lies a bank of gauges that monitor a whole load of engine parameters. In addition to the expected speedometer, tachometer, fuel level, and water temperature gauges, there are additional dials to keep track of fuel pressure, oil pressure, battery voltage, and an air-fuel ratio meter. You’ll also note a single-DIN Alpine stereo with Bluetooth connectivity.
Under the hood lies a custom-built 496 ci V8 engine, which the owner reports started life as a 454 ci engine, which has been bored and stroked. The engine is coupled with a Tremec Magnum six-speed gearbox, which sends power to the rear wheels via a narrowed-down Dana 60. This 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS has also been back-halved with a four-link suspension set-up and sits on coilovers.

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.

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
