Overview of 1979 Chevrolet El Camino SS For Sale by Owner

Some cars are just in a category of their own. Part pickup, part muscle car, the El Camino was one of those unicorn creations that worked at the time. And with this 1979 El Camino SS, now sporting a 1986 Monte Carlo body kit, it takes that distinctive personality even further with a crate motor under the hood. Currently for sale out of Shirley, New York, this white-on-red example has seen a significant powertrain refresh, with a 5.7L 350ci V8 crate motor that’s reportedly logged just 2,000 miles since installation.

Exterior and Interior

Visually, this El Camino makes a bold first impression. The Monte Carlo body kit gives it a slightly more sculpted profile, while a raised cowl induction hood and dual chrome exhaust tips giving away just enough of what lies beneath. Finished in white, the body is set off by a set of 15-inch gloss black IROC 5-spoke aluminum wheels, giving it a clean but assertive stance. Inside, you’ll find a period-correct Carmine Red cloth interior, blending classic Chevy charm with modern upgrades. A Power Acoustik PD-931NB head unit offers Bluetooth, DVD playback, and remote functionality, and it’s backed by two Rockford Fosgate amplifiers, delivering far more punch than what came from the factory in '79. While the cabin retains its original character, the audio system and drivetrain suggest this El Camino is anything but stock.

Engine

Under the hood lies the star of the show. It's a 5.7L 350ci V8 crate motor, making a reported 391 horsepower, thanks in part to a Holley 570 CFM 4-barrel Street Avenger carb, a COMP Cams #12-246-3 camshaft (.490"/.490" lift), and a GM HEI ignition system. Power is routed through a TH350 automatic transmission, upgraded with a B&M Transpak shift kit and paired to a B&M 2000 RPM stall torque converter. At the rear, a posi-traction differential with 3.73 gears helps this El Camino hook up when it matters.
