1980 Model Year Chevrolet El Camino
A pretty interesting vehicle segment is the coupe utility. When Chevrolet introduced the El Camino in 1959, it was peculiar as Chevy adapted their two-door station wagon into a cab and cargo bed into the body. Safe to say Chevrolet's gamble paid off, as evident with the El Caminos production run lasting till 1987 and five generations under its belt. The El Camino's eloquent amalgamation of practicality and luxury made it so popular. The fifth-generation El Camino was produced from 1978 to 1987 and had a new design compared to the previous generations. This 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod, with just 500 miles on the build, is up for grabs, and some tasty upgrades are also thrown in.
This particular 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is adorned in a custom dual-tone black and Root Beer color for the exterior, which we love! The seller reports a new chrome trim has been applied for the interior and exterior. The front features a horizontal slat grille in chrome with rectangular headlights. A massive reverse hood scoop is visible on the hood as well. The rear features a clean design, with the taillights embedded into the rear bumper. Visible from the rear is the custom exhaust pipes swerving to either side of the vehicle, just behind the rear wheels. Shaved side markers are reported on the car as well. It sits on a set of US Mags Y-5-spoke chrome-painted wheels and matching lug nuts. Matching the exterior is a black interior design with scattered chrome trim pieces. The dashboard has been converted to a digital but needs to be calibrated as reported by the seller. Keeping the temperature exact is a new R134A AV evaporator, heater core, A/C compressor, accumulator, drier hoses, and retrofitted to a serpentine belt, as reported by the seller.
Chevrolet offered the fifth-generation El Camino with a wide range of engine options. This 1980 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod is equipped with none of them but comes with a 355ci Small Block V8 engine mated to a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission with a shift kit, as reported. Aluminum headers have been installed, along with a Hughes 2500 stall converter by the seller. The rear end has been completely rebuilt with a 3.42 gearing reported. Stopping power is enhanced by the new master cylinder and brake booster, while the front features lowering springs.
The Chevrolet El Camino holds a special place in the pantheon of American classic cars. It combined good looks with genuine versatility and proved a popular option for everyone, from trades workers to families. The combination of a car-like front end with the practicality of a load tray earned it many fans and is a body style that is fairly uncommon in today's automotive landscape. The third-generation El Camino shared its styling with the Chevelle and was updated to mimic the passenger car’s looks for the 1971 model year. Our featured example is a 1971 Ford El Camino powered by a rebuilt 350ci V8 engine, which has undergone a host of new parts and maintenance.
Chevy's renowned El Camino nameplate redefined what a pickup truck could be when it was married with a stylish and sporty coupe body style. Designed to offer the comfort of a car, coupled with the versatility of a compact pickup truck, the El Camino created the segment called the Coupe Utility. Of course, the El Camino wasn't the first coupe utility, but it's arguably the most well-known, especially as it was produced up to 1987. Hence, this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino represents one of the last examples to leave the GM production lines and grace our roads. If you buy it, you'll be gaining a relatively modern vehicle, a definite future classic, and a piece of Americana. What's not to like about that trifecta?
