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.
What happens if you want a vehicle that’s a coupe, and a pickup truck? Well, Chevy envisioned that way back in 1959 and answered with the El Camino. After all, why must pickup trucks be boxy and utilitarian? Can’t farmers and tradesman enjoy some style and sportiness in their daily grind? That’s why Chevy offered the El Camino, with its car-derived platform, with a host of punchy V8s. Take this third-generation 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS as a prime example. Since it’s an SS or Super Sport variant, you can imagine that it’s quite thrilling to drive. This vehicle is available in Bainbridge, Georgia.
One of the most curious American cars of the ’60s is the Chevy El Camino. It's a coupe utility that is the offspring that results from the marriage of a station wagon and a pickup truck. In fact, that’s how Chevy built it: a standard Chevrolet two-door station wagon with an enclosed passenger cabin and an open cargo area. Made over five generations, the El Camino has also become something of a cult muscle car hero due to its unconventional body style and unexpected performance when stuffed with a proper American V8. This particular 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS is a great way to experience a fast coupe utility, or "Ute" as the Australians call them. This particular vehicle is from the third generation and has undergone a full rotisserie frame-off restoration, we’re told. Now, this big-block toting machine waits peacefully in New Jersey until it finds a new owner. That could be you!
When Ford saw success with its Ranchero, it wasn’t long before Chevrolet came up with the El Camino. The basic principles are rather simple: a two-door car-like body at the front and a practical cargo bed at the back. For the El Camino’s third generation, it was based on the popular Chevelle and shared its wheelbase and overall length with the Chevelle sedan and station wagon. This is likely the version of the El Camino you’re most familiar with, as it serves as a much-loved base for meticulous restorations and detailed restomods across the US. Our featured 1969 Chevrolet El Camino has been completely restored. The owner reports that the project started as a stripped-down shell at a farm before it was further stripped and glass bead blasted. It now features a 496ci engine with a custom drivetrain and sits on coilovers.
If you’re selecting a seventh generation (C7) Chevy Corvette as your next ride, congratulations. Why do we say that? Because the C7 represents the last of the front-engined brigade for America’s favorite sports car. It’s a highly refined, fast, and technologically advanced example of what American automakers can do in the sports car segment when given the right resources. Plus, it’s a definitive future classic. So, whoever decides to pick up this 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is making one of the best decisions of their lives, for many reasons. One, it’s got less than 5,000 miles on it. Two, it’s an all-stock car with two keys included in the sale. Three, well, keep reading and we’ll give you many more reasons.
When people say “Classic Corvette”, the image of the second generation immediately springs to mind. Made between 1963 and 1967, this was the generation where the famed Stingray badge came to be, plus pop-up headlamps, the boat-tail rear, the twin-cowled dashboard, and many other signature Corvette features. Today, we’ve got a 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from Hudson, Florida for your consideration. This car has got some new parts on it, making it a fine driving classic and a car that can be used on a regular basis too. Because let’s face it, why would you buy a classic Corvette if you don’t want to take it out on the roads?
The Ford Mustang is the longest-running pony car, but the Chevy Camaro is its longest-running segment competitor. Introduced in 1967, just three years after the Mustang, the Camaro came with a sibling in tow, called the Pontiac Firebird. After all, GM saw the potency of the pony car segment and wanted to fight with all guns blazing. You don’t often see an automotive conglomerate fighting a rival’s single model with a duo of their own. The Camaro traded blows with the Mustang until 2002, when it and the Firebird fell by the wayside. But the Camaro returned in 2010 for a second bout in the ring, which lasted until 2024. In total, there are six generations of Camaro, just one less than the Mustang. Today’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is particularly interesting as it's a first-generation car that’s a true Z28, not a tribute or aftermarket conversion. Furthermore, the vehicle has been restored and comes with a 40-page binder that reportedly contains all documentation. Under the hood, we're told this Camaro sports a rebuilt engine and is a numbers-matching vehicle. In short, it’s a veritable unicorn for a classic car collector – and it’s up for sale right now in Parrish, Florida.
