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 most popular Coupe Utility, the Chevy El Camino came in 1959 and was made until 1987. It wasn’t the first Coupe Utility, rather Chevy brought it out to fight Ford’s Ranchero. So what is this Coupe Utility business, then? Well, you take a regular passenger vehicle, typically a two-door station wagon, and chop off everything behind the front seats. Then, you make it into a pickup truck bed back there. That’s the difference between a pickup truck and a coupe utility; unlike the former’s body-on-frame construction, a coupe utility is basically a monocoque construction vehicle with an integrated cargo bed behind the passenger cabin. You can see it best in our photos, where this second-generation 1967 Chevrolet El Camino seamlessly blends in a Chevy Chevelle-styled front end with a distinctive, exposed cargo bed out back. This particular vehicle is now available in Tucson, Arizona having undergone a comprehensive makeover.
Muscle cars are wonderful machines; they are the pinnacle of loud-and-proud all-American performance at full throttle. While the machines of today maintain that same gusto, they are perhaps no match for the raw feel a classic muscle brings to the table. Now that we are on the topic of muscle cars, everyone has their favorite, but one thing is common: they aren't the most practical machines to get by with. They serve one purpose - push your expectations of the perfect drive-out and end scene. Present today is a blend of that raw muscle-car feel, plus a whole lot of practicality and a classic aesthetic. Hailing from Maricopa, Arizona, this 1972 Chevrolet El Camino is a unique piece of muscle car history, with a reported 1,746 miles on its clock, and is ready for action.
The Chevy El Camino showed the world in 1959 that a pickup truck didn’t have to be a body-on-frame machine with stodgy styling and uncomfortable riding dynamics. Instead, Chevy created a segment called the Coupe Utility, which was basically a seamless integration of cab, chassis and cargo area into one element. This led to a sportier, lower-riding and more comfortable vehicle that could still carry a decent payload in its cargo bed. After all, many buyers of such vehicles didn’t need heavy load-carrying per se, rather they wanted space. The El Camino also gained a reputation in the muscle car class, since it was available with some truly awesome V8s under the hood. Here, we have a 1960 Chevrolet El Camino that’s received a 383 Stroker under the hood, paired with a 3-speed automatic gearbox and a B&M shifter. With just 23,000 miles on its belt, this machine of multiple personas awaits its new owner in Dana Point, California.
In 2005, Chevrolet revealed the all-new C6 or sixth generation Corvette. It did away with pop-up headlamps due to tightening safety regulations, but improved upon the C5 in nearly every other way. Whether it be power, performance or luxury features, the C6 represented a healthy upgrade over the C5. That’s why even today, C6 Corvettes like this 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe are considered to be a great way to sample America’s greatest home-grown sports car marque. This particular car has just 14,732 miles on the clock and comes from Colorado. It’s got the 3LT Preferred Equipment Group, the Magnetic Selective Ride Control adaptive suspension system and a lovely 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 under the hood.
One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
