1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS

Description

We know you already love the look of a deep, dark 1969 Chevrolet El Camino, but look a little closer at this SS tribute. It's a frame-off restored example that has been upgraded with a more comfortable interior and an amazing performance-built V8 with about 1,500 miles on the rebuild. So this one lives up to its true Super Sport appearance.

The only thing this El Camino looks like it was meant to do is haul on asphalt. The black paint has the kind of luster that so nicely complements the shine on the trim around the grille, windows, and around the truck bed. You can really tell there was a nice investment in making sure everything was straight so the shine could remain even. The '68 cars had a meaner attitude, where the front end had an overhang like a furrowed brow. When you combine them with the mirror-like wide chrome bumper up front, it gives this classic the look like it always has a menacing smile (and once you drive it, you'll know exactly why!) This one really takes its Super Sport appearance seriously with the dual cowl hood, aerodynamic tonneau cover, complete badging, and Rally wheels. It even has the full-length strip inspired by the Chevelle SS 396s.

Just like the outside, the interior is deep and dark. The restoration decided to build a more comfortable car by adding a bucket seats and center console setup from a later model Chevy. So this has better bolstering, a comfortable armrest, and newer leather. Plus, you have plenty of other nice upgrades like the wood-rimmed steering wheel and AM/FM/CD stereo. But more than just comfortable, when you spot the B&M shifter and column-mounted Sunpro tach, you realize this El Camino was also upgraded for performance.

You're going to love showing off the engine bay. This 400 cubic-inch V8 was bored .30 over (406ci total.) The motor looks like it was built for boulevard combat with the bold block, fabricated aluminum valve covers, tall Holley air grabber, and an overall stout setup. In fact, this motor looks quite fresh, because there's only abut 1,500 miles on the V8's build. This mean appearance is backed up by the right go-fast goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, aluminum heads, and a set of long tube headers that feed the growling stainless dual exhaust. This full power package is estimated to be a street-eating 400 horsepower. Making sure you have the right power to back up this sound is a stout TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with a shift kit to keep you in the optimal powerband. Oh yeah, this is an El Camino built to be just as forceful as it looks. But because power is nothing without control, you have power steering, front disc brakes, a thick front sway bar, and the grip of modern Yokohama Avid tires.

You can tell how clean this build is by just the undercarriage photos. So when something this powerful and this nice is also priced so right, you know you need to hurry to grab this deal. Call now!
