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.
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.
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.
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 El Camino is the quintessential representation of what was widely called the Coupe Utility. You see, this isn’t simply a two-door single-cab pickup truck. No, a Coupe Utility comes with sportier body styling. But that’s not all, it doesn’t use body-on-frame construction like a standard pickup truck. Nope, the body and pickup bed of the Chevy El Camino are all integrated. That’s why a classic El Camino makes for a worthwhile classic car purchase if you want something a little different, but still immensely popular. This 1967 Chevrolet El Camino is a worthy contender because it’s got a stonking 325-horsepower V8 under the hood. Currently resting in Canton, Mississippi, just hit us up if you’d like to own this Coupe Utility.
