Background Story of this 1979 Chevrolet El Camino

Overview of 1979 Chevrolet El Camino For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The bright red exterior highlights the El Camino’s dual character as both car and truck, complemented by Wheel Smith 15-inch Rallye wheels that give it period-correct style. The restoration included refinishing and attention to detail, leaving the bodywork clean and vibrant. Inside, the tan vinyl cabin has been enhanced with a Monte Carlo dashboard, blending originality with an upgraded look. Its interior presentation strikes a balance between utility and comfort, underscoring the car’s versatile nature.

Engine

Under the hood lies the 350ci small-block V8, being fed through a Holley Fi-Tech EFI system for strong and reliable performance. An MSD ignition system ensures modern spark delivery, while the power is channeled through a 4-speed manual transmission to a 10-bolt GM differential with 4.11 gears. This setup not only delivers spirited acceleration but also provides the durability enthusiasts expect from GM’s proven drivetrain components. The combination of upgrades and careful restoration makes this El Camino a confident driver with muscle car flair.

1972 Chevrolet El Camino

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$26,999
SOLD

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.

1960 Chevrolet El Camino

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$34,995
SOLD

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.

1970 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod LT1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$59,999
SOLD

The El Camino has got to be Chevy’s most famous Coupe Utility, or Ute. The idea of a Coupe Utility isn’t new to the El Camino; in fact it means a single-cab pickup truck built on a car platform and sporting a unibody construction. You can see that in the El Camino and other Coupe Utilities, where a traditional pickup truck would have a break between the passenger cabin and cargo bed, a Coupe Utility simply combines them into a seamless shape and structure. Today, we have a third generation 1970 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod for sale from Lincoln, Illinois. As the name suggests, it’s got some neat upgrades. These include a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated LT1 V8, a 4L60E autobox, a reupholstered interior and many more things. If you’d like to take on this vehicle that’s got only 1,090 miles on it since rebuilding, talk to us and we can help.

1978 Jeep CJ-5

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,999

Jeep’s CJ series of off-roaders is what gave rise to the Wrangler today. You can see the design similarities between the old and the new, despite the Wrangler’s notably larger size, plusher cabin, more powerful engine, etc. That iconic face remains largely intact, with the famous seven-bar grille signifying that the vehicle wearing it is capable of great off-road feats. The CJ series came about in 1944, when Willys-Overland knew that they had to switch to the civilian market to survive. World War II was ending, and the military wouldn’t be needing Jeeps like cigarettes anymore. So, the CJ was born, standing for Civilian Jeep. It was made to live a tough life in the fields of agriculture, construction, mining, manufacturing and other rough-and-tumble industries. Jeep knew that the civilian variant would have a lifespan in years or even decades, not months or weeks like its battleship brethren. Hence, the CJ is exceptionally well-built, and many survive to this day. This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 from Melbourne, Florida is proof of that quality.
