1976 Chevrolet El Camino Classic

Description

Vintage, correct, and a whole lot of fun, this 1976 Chevrolet El Camino Classic represents vintage style and substance. After all, with a cool color combo, A/C interior, V8 power, and the overall distinction of an El Camino, this is the kind of vehicle that's welcomed in any crowd.

This car/truck has a lot going for it. After all, the El Camino wanted to be both versatile and sporty, and the Classic trim level also added premium into the mix. It got the up-market Malibu's stacked square headlight front end. That gave it a bright look that goes well with the big chrome bumpers and upgraded chainmesh grille. And speaking of bright, the factory-correct two-tone blue paint was refreshed later in life, and it has a metallic glow that loves the sunshine. Plus, the way the well-done trim is used as a dividing line on the whole car (including the almost seamless way it wraps around the tailgate) is another reminder of the extra style you got on the top-tier Classic. This has spent the majority of its life so far under the first owner's care. And while there are some upgrades like the folding tonneau and slotted mag wheels, you can really see that the overall impression is a vehicle that's quite stock and quite well-respected.

The sea of blue continues inside, and there's even more vintage style to show off. The bucket seats are another great premium touch. Not only do they look original, right down to the button-top upholstery, but also they have the cool swivel-out mounting that's always fun to show off. The door panels, carpeting, and dash all coordinate. And while the odometer is believed to reflect to total actual mileage (with one rollover,) this has the clean look of proper respect. This is built with the right comfort without taking away from the vintage atmosphere. For example, your AM/FM radio has an 8-track player. And the factory air conditioning is now blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant. Also, the center console, floor shift, three-spoke steering wheel, and tilt column all come together to give you a very driver-oriented experience.

Under the hood is a stock-style 350 cubic-inch V8. This is the year-correct block, and given the vehicle's history, it's hard to believe this is anything but the original motor. Good maintenance means it's a strong runner. Power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a three-speed automatic transmission keep it an easy cruiser. There are even the right extras to make it a terrific driver near or far, including a rear sway bar and cruise control.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. This is the striking El Camino Classic with a cool story to tell. So if you love a true vintage Chevy of distinction, don't let this one slip away. Call now!
