Overview of 1979 Chevrolet El Camino For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in white, the quirky design of a coupe utility is perfectly embodied by this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino, showcasing the interesting manner in which the vehicle presents itself. The cab has a leaning forward stance, as does the front end, while the rear is all pickup truck bed, in matching white. Then, you’ve got your typical classic cues like chrome bumpers and white-striped tires. The red interior of this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino consists of two seats that form a single bench, and it comes with some neat creature comforts. You’ve got air conditioning, a push-button radio, a column shifter, and plenty of old-school charm. There’s nothing quite like a Seventies interior and this car perfectly embodies that spirit.

Engine

Powering this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino is a 267ci small-block V8 which made 125 horsepower when new. If that seems low, remember that this was the Malaise Era where engines were severely strangled. In the face of that fact, 125hp for a coupe utility is more than enough, and you won’t hold up traffic on the streets. You’ve also got an automatic transmission to make driving even easier.

The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.

1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod LS3

Current Ask
$275,000

This 1964 Chevrolet C10 Restomod has the look of a proper custom street truck and the hardware to make good on it. Showing just 475 miles, it packs a 6.2L LS3 V8, electronic fuel injection, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic, and a Ford 9-inch rear end into one seriously reworked classic Chevy platform. A custom frame, aftermarket suspension setup, and 4-wheel disc brakes give the truck a far more modern foundation underneath, while the black paint and copper-finished wheels bring the kind of stance and attitude that make a build like this hard to ignore. It is the sort of C10 that appeals as much to the person who wants to inspect every detail at a show as it does to someone who simply wants to fire up an LS-powered classic and enjoy the drive.
