The word "practicality" is hardly heard in the muscle car world, that is, unless you drive an El Camino. Built to be a practical way of getting about and experiencing what a muscle car has to offer, this legendary car-truck combo from Chevrolet sparked a segment in the automotive scene and is bound to turn heads to this day as one drives by. Always wanted to get a piece of practical muscle car ownership? This 1977 Chevrolet El Camino, with a reported 166,389 miles on the clock, is one neat restoration project that runs well and is ready to liven up your weekends.
Out of the many cars, bigger American cars that left manufacturers' factory floors, only a handful survived the change the automotive world brought about and external factors like the oil crisis of the 70s. This 1977 Chevrolet El Camino with its two-tone blue exterior is a survivor and wears its battle scars proudly. The blue exterior sports all its chrome components, with even the side rails still on the car; matching the chrome is a set of silver wheels that are reportedly new and wrapped with a fresh set of tires. The blue theme also spreads to the car's interior, with blue accents throughout the vehicle. You would also find wood trim blending in well with an aftermarket radio cassette player ensuring your tunes are done justice. Of course, like the exterior, some work is required, so this is a blank canvas for you. Fully stock or restomod luxury? Your call.
While the body and interior require some wrenching and restoration, you can rest assured that the 5.7L V8 powertrain under the hood of this 1977 Chevrolet El Camino functions right and roars with all its might. The old-school muscle car performance reportedly has some refreshments to make it reliable. It comes in the form of a new thermostat, water pump, and radiator for cooling down all that performance. Speaking of performance, the current owner reports a new fuel pump, carburetor for efficient fuel delivery, and new brakes for better stopping power. With a reported rebuild on the engine and a new power steering unit in place, this classic American powerhouse is a treat to drive and own. All this refreshed power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission with a reported new clutch for smoother gear shifts.
The quirky Chevy El Camino raised quite a few eyebrows when the model made it to the market in 1959. From the front half, it was a coupe. Then, the rear half blended into a pickup truck with a full cargo bed on offer. The type was called the coupe utility. Most importantly, it didn’t have the typical body-on-frame stance of a pickup truck. For example, the passenger cabin and the truck bed flowed into each other like one smooth silhouette. That’s because the Chevy El Camino was based on car platforms. Initially, the Biscayne served as its basis, then the Chevelle and finally GM’s G-Body platform. Today, we’ve got a 1979 Chevrolet El Camino which hails from the fifth generation of this well-known nameplate. The fifth generation was, sadly, the last, terminating production in 1987, so this vehicle is quite a definitive classic to own and drive. Bearing a decent 115,638 miles, you can see that this Madisonville, Kentucky-based coupe utility has led an interesting life.
What happens if you want a vehicle that’s a coupe, and a pickup truck? Well, Chevy envisioned that way back in 1959 and answered with the El Camino. After all, why must pickup trucks be boxy and utilitarian? Can’t farmers and tradesman enjoy some style and sportiness in their daily grind? That’s why Chevy offered the El Camino, with its car-derived platform, with a host of punchy V8s. Take this third-generation 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS as a prime example. Since it’s an SS or Super Sport variant, you can imagine that it’s quite thrilling to drive. This vehicle is available in Bainbridge, Georgia.
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!
Are you someone who is ready to dip their toes into the classic car world, or a Chevrolet enthusiast who is missing a lovely Chevelle in their collection? Whichever you are, this 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle is a perfect pick for you. The Chevelle only saw three generations; however, it was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. Most enthusiasts believe that the second generation was the peak of this desirable classic. Lucky for you, our subject car belongs to the second generation as well, and these are known to be reliable classic cars. It is currently located in Anderson, California, and ready to transport you back to the good old ‘60s.
Chevy’s C/K Series of pickup trucks debuted for the 1959 model year, as the successor to the Task Force line-up. For the next four decades, four generations would be made, until 2002 when the C/K Series became the Silverado that we know today. Yup, the good old Silverado comes with a fair bit of history behind it. Today’s 1985 Chevrolet C10 Restomod is a third generation example that’s been extensively resto-modded into a true head-turner. Yes, even a workmanlike truck can be made to be stunningly eye-catching and of course, deeply potent in the performance department. So join us as we take you on a whistle-stop tour of this Florida-based truck that is just a call or DM away from becoming yours if you please.
Being selected as the Pace Car for the prestigious and historically significant Indy 500 is no small feat. Automakers vie for this honor, and Chevy’s Corvette has held the torch multiple times. The Corvette’s first outing as an Indy 500 Pace Car was in 1978, with the C3 generation. Then, the C4 performed pace car duties twice, in 1986 and 1995. The C5 did it twice as well, the C6 racked up a four-year streak from 2005 to 2008 and a fifth time in 2012, the C7 had four outings, and the current C8 has done it five times (discounting the electric E-Ray variant). Chevy has capitalized on these outing as well, creating limited-edition Pace Car variants for lucky customers to buy, own and drive. That’s why this particular 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Indy 500 Pace Car Edition is significant as it marks the start of the Corvette’s Indy 500 Pace Car journey. Only around 6,500 units were made, and this example from Pennsylvania bears just 75,249 miles so far. Snap it up, quick, because it’s a piece of history.
