BODY OVERVIEW:
This El Camino is a super clean survivor! The body is remarkably straight, retaining its original lines and character without any signs of neglect. A few light scratches in the bed show it was used like a truck now and then—but not abused. This El Camino would be right at home as a garage queen, or as a squeaky clean daily vehicle!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The brown and gold two-tone paint is a real throwback in the best way possible, and it presents exceptionally well. Shine, depth, and character are all intact. Minor imperfections exist, as expected from a gently used original vehicle of this vintage, but overall, this paint is a reminder of why brown and gold were such popular colors when this El Camino was new. It looks great!
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The tan cloth interior is in outstanding original condition and has clearly been well cared for over the decades. No rips, no tears, no weird smells—just clean vintage GM comfort. It's the kind of interior that makes you want to roll down the window, rest your arm on the sill, pop in a Bon Jovi cassette tape, and cruise like it's 1986 all over again! Even the original spare tire and jack are in place behind the seat!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood sits the Chevy 350’s slightly smaller cousin; the Chevrolet 5.0L small block V8, backed by a smooth-shifting 4-speed automatic. It runs beautifully and drives exactly how you'd hope a low-mileage survivor would. Period-correct upgrades like the dual-exit muffler give it a bit more bark, but nothing too loud for polite society (not that anyone driving an El Camino plays by society’s rules!) This car fires right up, and purrs right along, ready for action.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:

WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
If you hate classic cars and partying, this car is not for you!

It is a survivor, not a restored car
